KEYNOTE SPEAKER & FACILITATOR

Brent Williams

Founder of EmpowerU

Brent Williams is a high-energy speaker, author, and filmmaker who has dedicated his career to empowering the next generation with the real-life tools they need to succeed. With over two decades of experience, Brent has inspired more than 30,000 teenagers across Australia and internationally through his dynamic life-skills program, Empower U.

Teaching the Skills That Matter

Frustrated by the lack of practical life skills taught in traditional education, Brent set out to fill the gap. At just 19, he co-authored his first book, The World At Your Feet, launching what would become a lifelong mission to help young people build confidence, resilience, and clarity around their future.

Through Empower U, Brent delivers transformational programs that are equal parts fun and practical. His sessions help teens break through limiting beliefs, master goal-setting, improve communication, and develop the self-leadership to take charge of their lives.

Global Impact, Local Heart

Brent’s impact spans six countries, including Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, China, and Indonesia. His work has been featured on Sunrise, Today, ABC Radio, and in numerous newspapers and magazines. He is also the Founder of Indianic Pictures, a film production company telling bold, purpose-driven stories, and a Generation Y Leader of the Year award recipient.

Nominated three times for Young Australian of the Year, Brent brings lived experience, humour, and powerful storytelling into every room he steps into.

A Voice That Resonates

Whether on stage, on screen, or in the pages of a book, Brent’s message is simple: you are capable of far more than you think. His work with YLBS aligns perfectly with the Summit’s mission... to uplift, educate, and empower young people to lead with purpose and confidence.
