Mental Health Advocate & Author of Move Your Mind
Nick Bracks is one of Australia's most prominent mental health advocates and the author of Move Your Mind, published by Wiley and now a bestseller in Australia and internationally. Nick has delivered more than 1,000 keynotes to over half a million people — a reach that reflects both the relevance of his message and the quality of its delivery.
Nick's story is one of personal struggle and genuine transformation. Growing up in the public eye as the son of a Premier of Victoria, he experienced serious mental health challenges that he kept hidden for years — and the journey of getting help, rebuilding his life and ultimately choosing to speak openly about his experiences became the foundation of a mission to change the way Australians talk about mental health.
His book Move Your Mind is grounded in both personal experience and neuroscience, exploring the profound connection between physical movement and mental wellbeing. It has been adopted as a resource by workplaces, sporting clubs, schools and mental health organisations across Australia and beyond. Nick's talks combine vulnerability, humour and practical tools — making him one of the most relatable and effective advocates in the mental health speaking space.

Nick shares tools for managing stress, staying grounded, and thinking clearly during demanding or overwhelming periods. This topic focuses on practical ways to regulate emotions, build self-awareness, and avoid defaulting to unhealthy patterns in high-stakes situations.
This talk explores the relationship between failure and personal growth. Nick explains how setbacks can build resilience, and how self-discipline and vulnerability help people develop a healthier, more sustainable definition of success.
He reframes failure as an essential part of human development. People aren’t born with a roadmap — we’re blank slates, and life is trial and error. Growth, evolution, and passing on what we learn is the point of life — and failure is the mechanism that drives it. If we’re lucky, we have mentors or parents who help us avoid the most damaging mistakes. But if you’re stubborn or naive — like Nick was — you may need to fall a few more times before things start to click.
This talk encourages audiences to stop fearing failure and start respecting it as a process that leads to self-awareness, direction, and the kind of wisdom that’s worth passing down.
Introduces the core idea behind Nick’s work — that most people were never taught the life skills that support sustainable quality of life and personal fulfilment. Covers structure, emotional regulation, physical health, mindset, and habits that help people function better day-to-day.
This session outlines how to build a work environment that supports mental and emotional health across all levels of a company. Nick explains how daily structure, boundaries, and honest communication reduce burnout and foster clarity, connection, and long-term stability — for individuals and teams alike.
Nick shares his personal journey — from anxiety, addiction, and public breakdown to rebuilding his life with structure, purpose, and clarity. His story provides the foundation for everything he teaches.
