Leadership Impact in Action

Courage

In nearly every industry today, people have been affected by unprecedented disruptions that have negatively impacted their perceptions of work. These uncertainties have created fear and hampered productivity.

One recent report, for example, even suggested that absenteeism is 37% higher and productivity 18% lower because individuals are concerned about major shifts in their jobs (or the loss of their jobs entirely).

I don’t normally do this, but we have never had a keynote speaker that everyone ranked so high in our evaluations! [Drew] ranked 5.30 out of 5.00 on the evaluations!

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.

One of our core values at the Chamber is “Be A Trailblazer.” Drew’s presentation fully embodied this value. High level executives to mom-and-pop shop stores have approached us to say how much his message meant to them. Even a former board member who we all admire said that she really needed that perspective shift that Drew supplied.

Real. Raw. Authentic individual that brought real life examples to personalize the experience. Thought provoking.
Jeremy Hamp,Government of Iowa
Drew is a fantastic speaker; he engaged the entire Early Years community and inspired, so many educators to see who they matter too. Many times, I felt like you could hear a pin drop in the room, waiting to hear what Drew had to say next.
Christine Mumford,Northumberland County
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.
John Pouliot, Director,Global Events and Trade Shows, Monster
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 thoughtprovoking stories, lots of ways to make a difference in people’s lives – every Day One we take the chance.
Leslie Paige Wolfson, Executive Director,Association of Corporate Counsel New Jersey
Relatable. Real. Simple. Drew was very authentic in his presentation. He chose very simple examples to support his positing, but they were relatable to everyone.

Drew received 4.6 stars out of 5 for impact and relevance to our leaders. He connected at their level & spoke their language perfectly.
Cijaye Depradine,Best Buy Canada
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 about his philosophy. It just shines through when someone really cares.
Glenn KelmanCEO, Redfin
