Organizations hire Patrick Dunn when they need a speaker who understands what it actually costs to lead under sustained pressure — and what it takes to keep going without losing yourself in the process.
Patrick works with mission-driven leaders, high-stakes teams, and public-service professionals who are running on empty and don't have time for theory. His keynotes draw on 30 years of leading global teams through major crises and disruptions — including 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and large-scale operational failures — to deliver something rare on a conference stage: hard-won experience, honestly told, with tools that work in the real world.
His Lead with Soul framework — built on Presence, Purpose, Renewal, and Service — gives leaders a clear, practical path to staying steady under pressure, reconnecting to purpose, and sustaining the kind of performance that doesn't burn them out in the process. Patrick's style is conversational and direct. He doesn't lecture. He shares what he's lived, names what others are afraid to say, and leaves audiences with something they can use before they leave the building.
Before his career in operational leadership, Patrick served as a law enforcement ranger and rescue ranger with the National Park Service and was a certified EMT — experience that gave him an early and lasting understanding of what it means to show up for others in high-stakes moments, day after day, without anyone asking how you're doing.
Patrick is the author of Stop Leading on Empty, part of his Lead with Soul series, and his keynotes include Your Resilience Is Killing You, Who Rescues the Rescuer?, The Last Line of Defense, and Strong Enough to Break.
He is an ideal choice for events focused on:
- Leadership development and resilience
- Burnout prevention and sustainable high performance
- Public-service, government, and mission-driven organizations
- Team culture, purpose, and values-driven leadership
- Healthcare, first responder, and caregiver audiences
- Motivational and keynote programming for conferences and annual events
Event planners value Patrick's calm, grounded presence, his ability to connect quickly with diverse audiences, and his consistent delivery of keynotes that are honest, human, and highly actionable. Participants leave feeling steadier, clearer, and better equipped to lead — not just inspired for an afternoon.

"Patrick didn’t just speak to us—he brought us into the story. It felt like we were walking the minefields alongside him, hearing the voices of those rebuilding their lives, and standing quietly among the redwoods during the Muir Woods Peace Walk. His way of storytelling is honest and real. Through his 'Lead with Soul' message, he reminded us why we serve not for recognition, but to make a difference. It was one of those talks that stays with you, long after the meeting ends."
