Biography
Libby is an inspirational keynote speaker, highly engaging and popular for a wide range of events and occasions.
Iconic Australian Swimmer Libby Trickett collected 24 gold medals on the international stage across Olympic, Commonwealth Games and World Championships events. This included eight long course and seven short course world titles, five Commonwealth Games and four Olympic gold medals which were won at three consecutive Olympic Games.
Since retiring from swimming, she has lived many lives, but she is currently studying a Bachelor of Counselling, is the host of the podcast All That Glitters, where she interviews retired athletes on their transition into life after sport, and co-host of The Sport Social podcast which talks about the joy, humanity and heartbreak from the past week in sport.
She has also co-founded a business called Unlocking Her Potential, where the aim is to inspire and empower ALL women to unlock their greatest potential, as well as running after her three young daughters, Poppy, Edwina, Bronte, and baby of the family son Alfred.
Libby is passionate about community, mental health and children’s charities. Currently, she is an ambassador for Starlight Children’s Foundation, Beyond Blue, Coastrek, Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association (ANZMHA) and Poolwerx.
Testimonials
It’s not often that one leaves an event feeling so uplifted, and it’s all down to your selection of speaker. Libby was incredibly genuine (I was delighted at how willing she was to talk so vulnerably about her life). I’ve received feedback from attendees who expressed how impactful the event was for them – a sure sign of success, particularly given the topic of mental health.
Her inspirational words were enjoyed and savoured by all present
Libby was very generous with her time, she spoke about everything from her childhood to her future while sharing firm views on how to reach the top of your game...
“Since joining Starlight in the role of Ambassador in 2014, Libby’s passion for brightening the lives of sick kids, coupled with her unending generosity and energy has been wonderful to observe.
From visiting sick kids in the Starlight Express Rooms in the children’s hospitals; being an MC “extraordinaire” at our Starlight Five Chef’s Dinners to using her own social media channels and contacts to help Starlight raise much needed funds, Libby is an amazing Ambassador and advocate for Starlight. In 2019, Libby has already supported the Starlight Super Swim Challenge and will again MC the Starlight Five Chefs Dinner.
Libby’s focus is always the seriously ill children and families Starlight supports. When she is with a sick child they always have her undivided attention. Through her efforts she is a compassionate and inspirational role model to the whole community.”
Libby was easy to work with. She was very professional, being highly organised, always accessible and only too willing to work with us to achieve what we needed. She was very personable, engaged the crowd comfortably and was willing to take open questions from the floor at the end of her presentation. Libby’s work for us could only be described as excellent and we would certainly recommend her to any other prospective clients.
