Background

About Toby Brooks

Identity is never *just* identity. It shapes how we pursue our goals, how we recover from loss, and how we define success. But when the role you’ve trained for—athlete, educator, executive, soldier—comes to an end, who are you then? Too often, high achievers face their transitions alone. We suffer in silence, unsure how to grieve who we were and become who we’re *meant* to be. That’s where I come in. I’m Dr. Toby Brooks: professor, coach, and host of Becoming UnDone. I’ve spent my life studying peak performance and living through the unraveling of identity firsthand. Today, I help people make peace with their past and build forward with purpose. My work integrates mindset science, strategic coaching, and powerful storytelling to turn setbacks into fuel for your next chapter. Whether I’m on stage, on the mic, or in 1-on-1 coaching, my goal is simple: help you stop hiding your scars and start building with them. If you’re navigating change, craving clarity, or ready to get back in the game, I’d love to connect. Individuals: Ready to rebuild with purpose?
