The former Coordinator of one of the largest university leadership development programs in the country, Drew Dudley nevertheless embraces the idea that “leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.” “I’ve never thought of what I do as ‘teaching’ leadership,” says Drew. “For me, it’s always been about trying to find a way to help others explore the concept – what it means to them, and to their communities.” Drew has helped raise over $3 million as the Founder or Chair of several organizations dedicated to supporting scholarship funds, social entrepreneurship, and charitable initiatives, including a record-breaking term as the National Chair of Canada’s largest fundraiser for post-secondary students, “Shinerama: Students Fighting Cystic Fibrosis”.
Now the Founder and Chief Catalyst of Nuance Leadership Inc., Drew works with dozens of universities, colleges, high schools, charities and other organizations around the world to empower young people to increase their leadership capacity. He delivers hundreds of workshops and lectures each year, and has welcomed high-profile Canadian leaders like Peter Mansbridge, Dr. James Orbinski, and Michael “Pinball” Clemons as guest speakers and facilitators in his programs. In late August 2010, Drew received word he'd get to live out a dream when the speaking committee of the TEDxToronto conference selected him to be one of only 12 speakers at the conference. Shamelessly addicted to “The West Wing”, Drew places only world peace above his desire for new episodes.
