A great reminder that each day we wake up we have an opportunity to be better. No matter our past or setbacks we always have today to make it happen. Even when we have success in the past we have today to do it again.If nothing else, take time to answer this question from the bookWhy do you matter? - Take a moment, put the book down, and articulate your answer to that question out loud.

He is as genuine a person, as well as, very kind. Take time to read this book. #leadershipmoments

This book is not just for people who think they are leaders, or in leadership roles - while it is great for those people too. This book so wonderful for those who feel like they fall short of being considered a leader. This book is perfect for those who need to realize the good they do in this world and what a leader they really are. But additionally this book gives great exercises and skills to challenge yourself each day to improve and become a better leader. I think it is one of the best books I have read in a while, and I have already recommended it to a number of friends.

There are few books that I have read that have motivated me to become a better person, and to expect more from myself, this is one of them. Thank you, Drew Dudley for helping me truly examine my values, and for challenging me to implement them on a daily basis!

Not your normal leadership book. Perfect in it's simple logic

This book is awesome...a powerful and practical guide to everyday leadership. I appreciate Drew's perspective and insight.

I love this book because it focuses on the fact that ANYONE can be a leader. It is an easy read and gives practical exercises to start (or continue) your leadership journey. By far one of the best leadership books out there! You will not be disappointed.

I've seen Drew speak in person and in videos and I always wanted more. Now we have it! Drew has an amazing ability to deliver universal truths for self improvement in an authentic and unique way that really hits home. Drew's principles are in the pages of this book. I really enjoyed it and will keep it in rotation when I need to refocus on my personal leadership values.

Having just finished my Bachelor's of Business, I had seen Drew live twice, and just had not made the time in my life to read this book. I wish I had sooner. I cannot recommend it enough, regardless of your age, your occupation, anything, this book is for everyone. He truly challenges you to think about what we have been taught about leadership and gives specific lessons for what we can do on a daily basis to change who we are and embody leadership in our every day lives. This isn't a book you will read just once, mine is filled with tabs so that I can look back on it often and remind myself often of these valuable lessons told through amazing stories and experiences.

There is a reason this book title contains the words "practical" and "matters". Drew's writings on the subject of leadership will enhance anyone's approach to how they choose to implement more of it in their lives. You don't need a big, important job to make an impact and this book lays out incredible steps for your own leadership journey. Whether you are a C-level executive, minimum wage earner, business owner, parent, student, or anything in between, this book will has relevant nuggets you can take away and put into action. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Drew encourages, better yet, challenges readers to rethink what they believe to be leadership. With his brilliant storytelling, Drew encourages readers to embrace their own leadership style and shows how although we all have different values, beliefs, careers, and lives .. it doesn’t diminish our capacity to be a leader.This Is Day One will capture you early on and leave you smiling with stories of real people who are embodying their own personal leadership values. This book is exactly that, a PRACTICAL guide. Drew walks readers through how to identify their own leadership values and implement them into every day behaviour.

What a book! Through an exceptional style of storytelling, Drew provides readers with a simple step-by-step guide on how to be a leader starting today. He does so through amusing and astounding anecdotes and with a clear and refreshing structure. The book challenges your way of thinking and the idea that only CEOs and managers are leaders. Define your values and operationalise them. The secret: Every day is Day One to make a difference in your own and other people's lives. It is that simple. And this book shows you exactly how to do it. I honestly cannot recommend this book enough. You should read it!

i have been a longtime fan of Drew - and this book is a testament to his work. I also have the audible version, and love having the ability to swap back and forth between both formats. Can't wait for your next one Sir!
