Bio
As a student Drew Dudley realized engaging with the world was more fun than writing papers about it and became involved in Cystic Fibrosis Canada, eventually serving as the organization’s National Chair. Later, he created the renowned Leadership Development Program at the University of Toronto. It was his leadership students who changed the course of Drew’s professional life, organizing a campaign to put him onstage at TEDxToronto 2010, delivering a talk with more than five million views on the web. Eventually this high-achieving lifestyle took its toll. Drew credits the Day One process with saving his life—he began applying the process to improving his mental and physical health and began sharing these experiences in his talks, reminding people that their challenges do not stand in the way of their leadership. Drew shared the process in his book, This is Day One: A Practical Guide to Leadership That Matters, sharing the process with organizations and people everywhere.
