About Drew

Drew Williams is a coach, consultant, speaker, and encourager who helps leaders navigate real challenges without losing themselves in the process. Drew started his career at T-Mobile, making $10/hour as an entry-level call center rep and worked his way up into multiple Executive Leadership roles. While at T-Mobile, Drew led a worst-to-first cultural turnaround for an overlooked and undervalued team of 800 employees, and ended his 20-year career at T-Mobile as the Director of Leadership Development, where he built leadership development teams and programs for a 25,000-employee segment of the business. After two decades in corporate America, Drew left to help launch ConGenius - a tech startup that's winning awards in the residential construction business.  

Drew has proved at each stop that culture change is possible when you decide to care about the people doing the work, and that winning the mental battle of leadership is worth the reward of changed lives.

Today Drew works with executives and founders to navigate the practical challenges of leadership and team building. From navigating Fortune 50 boardrooms, to taking out the trash while fundraising at broke startups - Drew's experience brings a unique perspective to life, business, leadership, and success. Drew lives in Springfield, Missouri with his family and is passionate about encouraging the next generation to lead with both strength and heart.

Drew’s take on people-first, trench-level leadership really resonated with me. It’s reminded me how important it is to prioritize my biggest asset — my people. Drew has a unique ability to connect mission and strategy to passion and purpose, inspiring everyone from emerging leaders to the C-Suite.

JASON Kapperman
Director of customer service @ RUSSELL CELLULAR

Since you worked with us, our call center has totally turned their performance around. It's been absolutely amazing. We made the staffing changes you recommended, and it has been a huge difference maker!

We are very grateful for your help. It was such great timing.

David Kaylor
Owner @ Harvest Valley Pest Control

We had the distinct privilege of having Drew as our keynote speaker recently for our premiere annual fundraising event.   Per usual, he was full of wisdom, wit, impact and relatability.  He is a gifted communicator in any space, but truly shines in front of an audience.

Dana Lopez
CEO @ Dogwood Ranch

Drew helped me put language to my philosophy with framework, form and function, and then helped me to operationalize it. This has been an absolute godsend.

He is gifted in this - he helped me understand myself so that in this next season of life, I know how to "teach me" and build the team to bring the vision to life.

Jacob Williamson
Executive Pastor @ Celebration Church

Drew is an extraordinarily talented public speaker whose poise, confidence, and passion set him apart and captivate any audience while delivering the message with clarity and impact.

In my career, I have rarely encountered someone with his combination of charisma, presence, and authenticity. I often cite his previous presentations.

Zach Campbell, COO @ D-Tools

Drew shaped not only my approach to leadership but who I am as a person. The lessons he has taught me have stayed with me over the years, especially as I’ve taken on my Director-level role. I catch myself all the time doing the things I learned from our time working together.

Without his guidance and the example he set, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today.

Derek Tackett, Director @ T-Mobile

It was a pleasure to  meet Drew and listen to his talk at our Sales Summit.

I actually keep a sticky note on my desk that is labeled: "The circle of control and the circle of concern" to remind me of where my energy needs to be applied. Thank you!"

DAVID Keith, CEO @ Wellabe
