Patti Dobrowolski

Patti Dobrowolski’s first TEDx talk, Draw Your Future, went viral in 2016, sending millions to the drawing board to envision and capture their future. Author of multiple books, keynote speaker, business consultant, and comic performer, she has shared her Draw Your Future process with big and small businesses, government leaders, and entrepreneurs across the globe. She was trained as a drama therapist and was pulled into business to handle family business conflicts. In one of the early meetings with her firm, someone went to the whiteboard and drew a picture of the meeting content. The effect hit her like a lightning bolt from the sky, and since that moment, she has made it her mission to teach herself to understand the science behind pictures and teach everyone to draw. As one of the early visual thinkers in the field, her first company educated companies and consultants across the globe on the power of visuals. Since then, Patti has drawn a fantastic set of leaders, from the Dalai Lama to critical leaders at the Gates Foundation. Her beautiful 4-foot by 8-foot illustrations grace the walls of Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Mastercard, Pepsico, Nike, and BrooksRunning, to name only a few. As a performance artist, she landed a role as the featured dead body on Broadway in Bill Irwin’s Largely New York. She still performs character comedy and hosts an irregular podcast on Spotify and Apple, interviewing everyday people and superstars about change-making tips. Her mission is to show everyone worldwide how a simple picture can change everything. Whether you desire to build wealth, optimize your health, or discover the secret ingredients to your happiness, drawing an image will bring unparalleled clarity.
