Dan MacQueen helps organizations and teams build resilience by reframing how they respond to adversity and change. After surviving a brain hemorrhage at 28 that left him unable to walk, talk, or smile, Dan rebuilt his life through strategies he now shares with audiences worldwide.
Dan has delivered over 1,000 online sessions focused on change management, resilience, and motivation. His keynotes have earned top ratings from the Government of Canada, BC Public Service, and workplace wellness conferences across North America. Audiences consistently report his approach as practical, personal, and immediately applicable to their challenges.
Dan's experience gives him unique insight into how people and teams respond under pressure. He translates the methods he used during recovery into actionable frameworks that help others manage uncertainty, address change fatigue, and maintain momentum when facing obstacles. His presentations combine real-world strategies with storytelling that connects with audiences dealing with change and uncertainty and are especially relevant to organizations navigating restructuring, rapid change, and high emotional or operational demand.
Dan shows teams how to move from panic to perspective, building practical habits that support mental resilience, steady decision-making, and more grounded leadership in unpredictable environments. Audiences come away with a clearer sense of control, better language for navigating difficult moments, and tools that support more effective leadership when conditions are shifting and pressure is high.
Book Dan to help your organization build resilience, clarity, and momentum when it matters most.
