Impacttologist, Inventor, Business Media Commentator & Entrepreneur Martin Brookes. What is an Impacttologist you may ask? In brief, a person who has spent most of their professional life seeking to understand the impact of successful people; and most importantly, exactly how they achieve that result.
Martin Brookes: Impacttologist
Martin has studied and understands what it takes to create impact. He brings his knowledge of psychology, body language, voice, language and influencing strategies; under his own unique label of behavioural change, Impacttology. Martin has worked at the highest levels of industry and business schools. As a management trainer and coach for over 12 years; whilst running his own training business. Martin is fascinated by how our leaders in business, politics and media achieve their results and his audiences learn how to create this success for themselves, their teams and organisations; as a result of hearing him speak.
Cerebral Palsy
As a communication professional, who helps senior executives improve their communication skills; Martin was seriously challenged when his own daughter (Mia) was born with cerebral palsy. This meant she was completely physically disabled and unable to speak. She was however able to communicate by pointing with her eyes. The systems initially offered for helping Mia communicate were bulky, expensive and very difficult to personalise.
Martin thought there had to be a better way to help his daughter. So he invented an application (app) for the iPhone; that has helped her communicate with a product that is affordable, portable and easy to personalise. Despite no IT expertise, Martin’s determination and love for his daughter helped him dig deep; and show a level of determination and resolve that motivates, inspires and challenges people to think more creatively about their own situations. However difficult the environment they are operating in.
Learning Apps
Having seen how children joyfully engaged with touch screens; Martin was struck by the business opportunity of how they could help children learn. Taking what he learned from creating his first app, he invented a second app (iSpy Phonics); that helps children to learn to read whilst playing. When Martin’s wife saw that the parenting website Bounty.com was looking for candidates for their “Real Dad of the Year” in 2010. She put his name forward and the site’s members were so touched by his story; they overwhelmingly voted him their winner.

Helena Marks Parent Partner Advisor, Herts County Council –
Martin was a motivational speaker for an Early Years SEND Conference. The audience of over 100 delegates were all visibly moved by Martin’s touching presentation. Martin is a truly eloquent and accomplished public speaker whilst also having the confidence and ability to share some deeply touching and personal experiences of his life as the father of a child with complex needs.
Roma Mills, Carers Involvement Manager, Carers in Hertfordshire –
I attended the AGM of the St Albans Access Group when Martin Brooks was the guest speaker. Martin described the application that he had developed to enable his daughter Mia, to overcome her communication difficulties. I found Martin’s presentation highly inspirational and it was evident that the other members of the audience were deeply moved and impressed.
David Silverman, Strategy Manager, Herts County Council –
As a keynote speaker Martin was eloquent and inspiring, and at the same time thoughtful, balanced and measured in his remarks. It is quite a skill to pitch comments at the right level for an audience, and to balance one’s personal perspective with the need to give a more generally applicable message. Martin definitely achieved this balance. Martin’s contribution was key to the success of the conference. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
