Selected Clients
Executive Profile
With about 40 years of total coaching experience, including sports and business, this facilitator knows the subject of leadership well. Having worked with and for leaders of varying credentials himself, he has used his unique powers of curiosity and observation with leaders to determine what works and what definitely does not. As a sales team leader in two different industries and having practical experience with sales leaders in a number of other situations, this presenter draws from a wide base of experiences on the nature and characteristics of successful leadership.
A student of his own work, he has pursued answers to the question of "What makes a leader a great leader?" and through his international work in the many varied industries of his clients, he has determined a path that all may choose, to become all they aspire to be as a leader.
A variety of experiences with leaders in the United States Navy, railroading, medical centres, education & school boards, fire and rescue services, real estate, aviation engineering, training organisations, First Nation organisations, local authorities or city government, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, bottlers & water quality industry, hotel & hospitality, automotive, trucking & transportation, international courier, multi-level & direct sales, petroleum, financial, insurance, forestry, and entrepreneurial organisations provides the very broad basis for his conclusions.
Drew firmly believes that you are either part of the solution or part of the problem and that your choices in life require you to be aware of your own unique abilities and resources in order to enhance these abilities so you will become a solution-oriented player rather than a wait and watch spectator.
Today, sophisticated people do not need firing up. They need real-life information and solutions that inspire them to take action to do more by becoming more. One of the underlying keys to this is the presenter’s awareness of, and the ability to work with, and get the best from others. He presents his message through stories, anecdotes, illustrations, and humour. His own inspirational honesty and sincerity drive it home and move people to take that action.
Because of the personal impact of his message on his audience, Drew is often asked back for further engagements and over 95 per cent of his business comes from referrals.
