Alex Draper Biography

Alex started life as a trainee schoolteacher in the UK. In 2002 he moved into adult education joining a global management training organization. In 2005 he moved to Chicago to build and lead their Americas operation.

In 2015 Draper founded DX with the purpose of wiping out bad leadership to create organizations worth working for. DX is now a partner in progressive leadership training to expose and eliminate bad leadership and prepare leaders to put people first.

For the last 5 years, Draper and his team have narrowed their focus on operationalizing the theory of psychological safety. He has created a simple framework for how leaders can build habits into the flow of work that focus on the core essentials of psychological safety, and is working both on empirically testing the framework and writing a book.

Draper has helped develop and unlock the leadership potential in over 40,000 people with DX’s leadership programs all over the world, while being a people-first leader himself at work and at home and building a human-centric movement.

Alex Draper Speaking Topics

  • Culture is a mirror of leadership

    How do we ensure our teams embody company values so they’re not just words on an 'About Us' page? It starts with leadership. Leaders 'owning' the culture, not just 'talking' about it or delegating to others.

    This keynote’s a beginner’s guide to concepts including 'cultural debt' and 'culture conning' and how to manage them. Equally, how culture is a top-down initiative and not just a list of values. We also cover social learning theory and modeling behaviors, and how to re-wire primal biases for modern leadership in, and out, of the office.

  • Psychological Safety

    In this keynote, we tell all about the most important factor for effective, high-performing teams. Psychological safety. What it is (and isn’t), giving you tools and resources to create and nurture those behaviors. We apply our own CARE Model, enabling leaders to create psychologically safe environments to improve team effectiveness. You’ll take away new skills to strengthen interpersonal relationships and communication with optimum amounts of clarity, autonomy, relationships, and equity®.

  • The Neuroscience of Leadership

    Effective leadership's an unnatural act. No one’s born a great leader and only 10-15% of leaders are self-aware. That’s why we’ve designed this keynote. To explore the challenges of leadership through a neuro-scientific lens to re-wire biases and enhance self-awareness for successful, modern leadership. You won’t need a mirror, but we get you to actively reflect on your own natural tendencies, as humans. We explore those unconscious, and conscious, behaviors that govern, and disrupt, effective leadership.
