Adversity doesn’t discriminate and no one understands this better than Tracy Hall. In 2017, the man she was in love with and building a life turned out to be one of Australia’s most notorious con men – Hamish McLaren.

This was not however the worst thing that had ever happened. In her short 40 years (and before she even met Hamish) Tracy had experienced multiple personal setbacks and trauma including the death of her father through leukemia at 53, miscarriage, divorce, career setbacks, single parenting and discovering her mum had being diagnosed with breast cancer just as she became a mother herself. Tracy Hall’s keynote empowers audiences to reframe their understanding of adversity and turn it into a valuable tool for growth. Drawing from her personal experiences with overcoming obstacles, Tracy shares practical strategies for navigating the challenges that inevitably arise in both personal and professional life. Through real-world examples and actionable advice, Tracy delivers a message of hope, inspiration, strength, and empowerment.
