Drew Knowles

B. App. Sc. (HMvt)

Drew has over two decades in the area of human performance and behaviour.  He has coached, consulted and advised thousands of business owners, CEOs and Execs all over the world on how to behave better in any situation, with anyone.  

He has also 20 years of experience in public speaking, delivering workshops, seminars and keynotes to over 20,000 people all over the world in NZ, Australia, Singapore, the Philippines, the UK, Dubai, and the USA.  

Until 2015, Drew had his own consultancy as a Mind Coach specialising in chronic stress and its effect on performance, working with CEOs and Execs of some of NZ’s largest companies. He also wrote monthly from 2012-2015 on this topic in M2 magazine. 

In 2015 he became Vice President and one of the five partners of the global company Influential U founded in California in 2009. Since being an Executive at Influential U, Drew has been primarily responsible for programme delivery, client management and global business development. He’s been integral in growing it to have clients in 10 countries and launching a licensing model in January 2023 to help scale Influential U.  

This has now allowed Drew to transition back into focusing his time where he brings the most value – one-on-one coaching/consulting/advising and speaking engagements. He works primarily with Founders, CEOs and Execs, and Senior Leaders of companies with 100 employees or more, and the effectiveness of their teams.  

He remains a stakeholder in Influential U Global with a Master License to deliver their proprietary frameworks while supporting the training and development of the other Licensees and the quality of their delivery.
