Prior to this, while Drew was still a student at university, he was heavily involved in Cystic Fibrosis Canada, eventually serving as the National Chair of the organisation. Later, he took on an even bigger challenge: creating and building what would become the largest and most dynamic leadership program in Canada, the Leadership Development Program at the University of Toronto.

But Drew has had challenges to overcome. Undiagnosed bipolar disorder and the struggles and emotional challenges of a career on the road 250 days a year led to serious health problems. Drew credits the Day One Process with saving his life as he began applying the process to working on his mental and physical health. Seeing that many people were also struggling silently, he began including his experiences in his talks, to remind people that their struggles and scars do not stand in the way of their leadership.

In 2018, Drew shared his Day One process along with his story in his bestselling book, This is Day One: A Practical Guide to Leadership That Matters. It debuted at #6 on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list. As a speaker, Drew has delivered keynotes to more than 250,000 people across five continents. His TED talk “Everyday Leadership (The Lollipop Moment)” was voted “one of the 15 most inspirational TED talks of all time,” with almost five and a half million views.

With his wealth of expertise, Drew will be helping Kona build a value-based organisation that will be able to tackle the world’s biggest problems and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for our collaboration!
