Patrick Dunn is a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and leadership development consultant with 30 years of experience leading high-stakes global teams in operational resilience — disaster recovery, business continuity, and crisis management.

He works with leaders who are performing at a high level and want to keep performing — without losing themselves in the process. His keynotes and workshops draw on three decades of real-world experience in rooms where the wrong call had real consequences, combined with a storytelling approach shaped by folklorist Sandy Ives and author Stephen King.

Patrick is the author of Lead with Soul: How to Lead When Running on Empty and the creator of the Lead with Soul framework — built on four pillars: Presence, Purpose, Renewal, and Service. His keynote Your Resilience Is Killing You speaks directly to the hidden cost of sustained high-stakes leadership, while Strong Enough to Break reframes what it means to lead with endurance and depth.

He is a three-time NCAA Division I All-American and nationally ranked mascot at the University of Maine, a former Fortune 200 resilience leader, and an active member of the Association of Continuity Professionals and Disaster Recovery Journal communities.
Patrick has delivered keynotes and leadership sessions across association, corporate, healthcare, and government audiences. He is based in Reno, Nevada and speaks throughout the United States.
