Gary Fahey

Gary Fahey embodies the mantra of “Lived it, Learned it, Earned it.” His unique Brutal Honesty brand was forged through 18 years with the Australian Federal Police, leading the Australian Prime Minister’s Personal Protection Team and managing the Office of Commissioner, a deep, dark and destructive battle with mental health and a combination of formal and informal education, coaching and mentoring to develop his own evidence based, practical systems and structures for success. Guided by his mantra, ‘Be Brutal,’ Gary Fahey’s raw honesty and vulnerability make him a speaker like no other. High-impact, engaging, and transformative. Gary delivers thought-provoking keynote addresses that inspire reflection, ignite action, and leave audiences equipped with practical strategies for success. Perfect for conferences, events, or summits looking to make a lasting impression. With a master’s level education and a no-nonsense Mt. Druitt upbringing, Gary bridges the gap between the academic and the actual. From the boardroom to the bar room, his ‘tested on me’ strategies turn complex concepts into actionable insights, making him relatable, engaging, and deeply impactful. Gary’s unique delivery combines lived experience, higher education, and an unapologetically direct approach, inspiring reflection, action, and meaningful change. He’s the speaker organisations and event organisers turn to when outcomes matter more than optics.
