BRITT HUNTER
From Court to Catalyst
Once ranked as the #1 basketball recruit in the nation, Britt Hunter’s path seemed destined for the heights of college sports. Starting as an All-American player at Duke and UConn, she quickly made waves, recruited by top programs nationwide. But an unexpected, career-ending injury changed everything.
This sudden loss of her athletic identity led to struggles with depression and an eating disorder, testing her resilience and forcing her to redefine herself beyond the court. Rather than letting adversity hold her back, Britt turned this experience into a powerful journey of personal growth and reinvention.
A Passion for Empowerment
During her recovery, Britt found a new purpose in mentoring young students in Hartford, sparking a deep commitment to helping others. Working with a university-based nonprofit and earning her Master’s degree, she soon realized her calling lay in education and servant leadership.
She poured herself into her work as a 4th-grade teacher, Dean of Students, and Vice Principal at a charter school in Harlem, where she led and inspired her students with empathy and dedication for over seven years.
Pivoting to New Possibilities
Ready to broaden her impact, Britt earned an MBA from Vanderbilt University and launched a new chapter at Microsoft, first in HR and then in Business Operations supporting Azure engineers.
Her corporate role provided fresh insights into leadership and collaboration, equipping her with the tools to guide others in navigating complex career landscapes. This chapter reinforced her passion for empowering individuals and teams to grow beyond their perceived limits.
Inspiring Others Through Speaking and Coaching
Today, Britt combines her rich personal journey with professional expertise to inspire audiences as a speaker, mentor, and coach. Through her dynamic keynotes, interactive workshops, and engaging podcasts, she shares actionable insights on resilience, career pivots, mental health, and leadership.
Britt’s mission is clear: to help others embrace change, unlock their potential, and lead with purpose and authenticity. Her message—"Be the exception”—resonates with people across industries and backgrounds, encouraging them to turn obstacles into stepping stones for growth.
