Patrick Thibaudeau knows the barriers you face and how you feel, because he’s lived it.

Named 2024 Person of the Year by CEO New York (link hidden) and Insider LA magazines.

His early years were marked by fear, criticism, and self-doubt having been squashed by a low-income life lacking in opportunity and poor coaching. He faced isolation and betrayal. Instead of being defeated, he rose to become a first-generation college graduate and went on to get a master’s degree. When some said “you can’t…” he did it anyway and succeeded in building a thriving consulting practice right out of grad school.

Ultimately, beyond anything he could have imagined, he emerged years later as a national and global sustainability leader amassing about 30 firsts, each one bigger and better than the previous, leading national boards and setting strategy for the 60 largest firms in the profession representing about 245,000 employees worldwide and over $70 billion in annual construction value. He learned to silence the voices shouting “can’t” by simply doing it anyway. In one case an experienced engineering executive said, “it’s impossible.” Patrick went on to complete and document the first net-positive energy science classroom building in a large region. He was also the leader of the first in the world, full Living Building Certified renovation. Patrick shows that every experience, good or bad, can become fuel for the future.

Patrick now shares core concepts through inspiring stories, transferring lessons from his success to the next generation. He works, lives, learns, and plays true to the words DO YOUR UNDOABLE™, it’s not just a slogan, it’s who he is.

He has spoken to a combined total of about 60,000 people and is at home with groups of all sizes. With authenticity and calm confidence, he connects naturally with audiences as if they were sitting together for a chat.

Patrick equips leaders and teams to think big, act bold, and be calmly, relentlessly focused. He shows greatness begins in the mind, not in circumstances. If you are ready to be done with thinking and doing small things and you are ready to reimagine your future, then this is your time to experience what Patrick has to offer.

MEMORABLE MESSAGES

He shows how to beat the breaking point and replace fear with courage through his proven 4C championship game plan and laws of the limitless.

When Patrick calls out, “It’s not raining!” or “You CAN do it!” from the stage, it’s not performance, it’s proof. He also brings a unique flair to the stage and has been seen flipping pancakes into audiences along with his Syrup Syndrome talk to make a memory that motivates audiences to throw off “business as usual” and adopt a new recipe for “Change that Sticks.”

LEGACY OF COURAGE

Patrick’s heritage is one of adventure, exploring, survival and thriving. His name literally means a bold leader with vision who nurtures and lifts others. From Pierre Thibaudeau’s 1630 voyage from France to North America, to Simon Thibaudeau’s survival through war and wolves, every generation of Thibaudeau’s has faced the frontier of fear and doubt.
That same spirit fuels Patrick’s life. From France to Nova Scotia, Quebec to Wisconsin, his predecessors moved from place to place doing things they did not know they could survive and thrive. Today, Patrick moves people from limited to limitless and from laggers to leaders overcoming the naysayers who stalk like wild wolves ready to devour anyone who dares to venture out.

If you’re done tinkering with incremental improvement and want real change that lasts and you are ready to stop playing small, this is your moment. DO YOUR UNDOABLE™ means do what YOU did not know YOU could. His message is not about vague generalities of doing the impossible all at once.
