The Only Keynote Speaker Who Gives Every Person in Your Audience A Hand-Drawn Map of Their Future - backed. by 30 years of neuroscience-informed change work and a TEDx talk with 7 million views.
Patti Dobrowolski has spent three decades at the intersection of brain science, visual thinking, and human change — working with organizations like Nike, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help people see, draw, and step into the futures they want most.
Her signature methodology, Draw Your Future®, is not a metaphor. It’s a neuroscience-backed process in which participants literally draw their current reality, their desired future, and the three bold steps that bridge the gap. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau cites it as one of three evidence-based tools for helping people connect to their future selves. Research shows it increases goal achievement by 42%.
She is a 3x TEDx speaker. Her talk “Draw Your Future” has surpassed 7 million views. She is the author of four books, a live illustrator, a trained drama therapist, and one of the few people in the world who can run a room and draw a large-scale strategic illustration at the same time.
When Patti is in the building, something different happens. People pick up pens. The room gets loud in the best way. And nobody checks their phone.
