Dan's Bio

Dan MacQueen is an international keynote speaker on Change Leadership who helps leaders and teams think clearly, make better decisions, and keep moving through change. Before becoming a speaker, Dan spent more than a decade at Hootsuite in Customer Success and Implementation, delivering 1,000+ professional learning sessions across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. At 28, Dan suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage. Two emergency brain surgeries, weeks in a coma and months of rehabilitation followed as he relearned how to walk, talk and smile. Today, Dan combines that lived experience with practical frameworks to help organizations navigate uncertainty, restore agency and maintain momentum. His sessions blend powerful storytelling, humour and practical tools audiences can use immediately. The verified audience feedback and results below show how those ideas translate from the stage into real impact.
