Brooke Lawler is the educational force behind Bēhere, where learning is reimagined as an adventure rooted in presence, creativity, and connection. Her philosophy could be summed up this way: Imagine if Rudolf Steiner and Charlotte Mason had a child, and that child wandered daily into the woods to play and muse with John Muir and Steve Jobs. That is the Bēhere Way — a living, breathing approach to education that blends wonder, wisdom, and innovation.Before cofounding Bēhere, Brooke spent 13 years leading strategy, branding, and multi-layered campaigns in the advertising world. She helped iconic companies — including Disney, Apple, Sony Pictures, and Softbank Robotics — find their voice and reach audiences in meaningful ways. Yet her favorite projects were always with small businesses and startups, where passion and soul drive the work.Three years ago, Brooke transitioned from the corporate track into independent entrepreneurship. As cofounder and now CEO of Bēhere, she brings the same spirit of creativity and brand vision into the world of family enrichment and education. She weaves entrepreneurial thinking, leadership, and soft skills into every workshop, helping families and children cultivate independence, curiosity, and confidence.For Brooke, Bēhere is more than a business — it’s a movement toward freedom in learning and living.
