UniversitiesThe Response
"Most great speakers have a schtick but Drew has soul. His talk brought many folks here to tears and uplifted us all, connecting the hard work each of us do every day to something bigger than ourselves. A year later, his message seems to have become an enduring part of our culture. He spent hours before his talk understanding what we were really about and hours afterward connecting with folks who wanted to understand more. It just shines through when someone really cares."
"I've been in the events business for 15 years and Drew is one of my all-time favorite guest speakers. If you like seeing head-nods, laughter, tears and the inevitable standing ovation from your group, then Drew is your guy! No speaker has been easier to work with or cares more about the audience. A master storyteller, his content is powerful and super easy to implement into your personal and professional life."
"I have a problem with most leadership books. They scream from mountaintops. They quote superstars. But Drew is different… This isn't a why book. It's a how book. You already know leadership matters. Now here's how to do it."
"When Drew was selected to be our keynote speaker, I never expected to receive life-changing words. But I did. We all did. Drew is thought-provoking and will change your life, too."
"Our franchisees loved Drew's message. It had a perfect blend of aspiration, authenticity, humor, tenderness and actionable takeaways. That's what really set him apart: he provided something our audience could take away and implement in their business. Thanks to Drew, our owners are becoming better 'Everyday Leaders'!"
"Every once in a while, a speaker comes along that challenges your mind and touches your heart. Someone who you are better off having seen. Drew is that speaker."
"If you're looking for a refreshing and new take on leadership look no further… Dudley provides the reader with easy-to-understand stories, providing us with tools we can adopt immediately. Highly recommended to everyone: from those just starting out their career to those in the C-suite."
"Drew blew us away. There was not a dry eye in the place. When he sat down the audience stood up and would probably still be applauding if he hadn't said it was getting embarrassing."
"He was just so REAL. He did not present like a lecturer with all the answers talking down to his audience. He was on everyone's level, speaking like a friend who was sharing his experiences, his knowledge, and ways that he has found to be a successful person; to be a real leader. Lots of take-aways, lots of thought-provoking stories, lots of ways to make a difference in people's lives."
"Real. Raw. Authentic individual that brought real life examples to personalize the experience. Thought provoking."
"Look no further; your leadership journey starts here. Practical, inspiring, and raw, Drew Dudley provides honest stories and concrete mental models that are valuable for everyone. This is Day One will redefine how you think about leadership and provide you with the essential tools to feel and act like a better leader - today and every day."

The Speaker
Drew Dudley
When Drew Dudley's students at the University of Toronto secretly nominated him to deliver a TEDx Talk, no one imagined the term "Lollipop Moment" would become a part of the leadership lexicon: shorthand for the moments of interpersonal impact that truly define leaders.
Drew has spent the past twenty years as a writer, speaker, and professor of personal leadership, teaching a step-by-step process to adopt the behaviours that drive daily leadership. His first book This is Day One: A Practical Guide to Leadership That Matters debuted at #6 on the Wall Street Journal Bestseller list and has gone on to become an international bestseller.
Presenting leadership as a system that can be learned connects introverts, atypicals, and many others in your organization to leadership in a way other presentations don't, while Drew's world-class storytelling ensures the most accessible, practical, and engaging leadership presentation you've ever seen.
“Most of the leadership on the planet is coming from people who don't call themselves leaders.”
