What Leaders Are Saying
Carmen Eisinger - OSSC, INC
Drew makes change feel less overwhelming and a lot more doable. The way he shares his own stories is honest and relatable, and it feels like he’s walking
right there with you. What stuck with me most is the reminder that setbacks don’t define us…they can actually be the foundation for real growth.
Jason Welter - MedOne
Foundations of Change is a testament to growth and leadership. It’s about reaching a point in life where you want to help others rise. While it won’t prevent every failures—because those teach us the most—it will guide new and current leaders toward a future where the sky is just beginning.
Gregg Eiles - Ligon Hydraulics
Drew’s analysis of his past experiences set an achievable road map to navigate and manage change in all aspects of life. His practical approach to change management takes fear out of the process and is inspirational.
Matt Kleczewski - Koltiv
This book systematically peels back the layers of change dynamics and has helped me become far more situationally aware of circumstances from both the past and present. More importantly, it’s giving me the tools, perspective, and confidence to push past the roadblocks and resist the forces that have slowed—or even stopped—meaningful change in my life and work.
Speaking Topics
Why Change Initiatives Fail
Most organizations focus on execution while overlooking the deeper behavioral, cultural, and operational forces that create resistance. This session explores the hidden friction points that prevent sustainable transformation and long-term alignment.
AI Readiness Starts with Human Readiness
AI adoption is not only a technology challenge. Organizations must prepare leadership, culture, communication, and operational systems to successfully adapt to rapid technological change.
The Three Types of Change
Not all change should be approached the same way. This session breaks down the Foundations of Change framework and explores how Rapid, Incremental, and Continuous Change impact organizational success.
Leadership Through Uncertainty
Leaders are often expected to create clarity during periods of uncertainty and disruption. This discussion focuses on decision making, alignment, resilience, and building confidence during transformation.
Cybersecurity & Organizational Risk
Cybersecurity is no longer only a technology issue. Organizations must understand the operational, financial, leadership, and insurance implications of evolving cyber threats.
