Thanks for taking the time to research how TODD DUFAULT LEADERSHIP can bring value to your organization and WHY it might be the boost you need towards positive change or even “next level” results.

LEADERSHIP is about influence. Not about power. It’s the ability to build trust, serve others and get others to believe. I’m blessed to do what I do today because of the influence of great leaders like Zig Ziglar, my late father Butch Dufault, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, Jack Canfield, Steve Olsen, Jon Gordon and John Maxwell. They became my mentors and through their influence changed my life.
Every choice we make has a consequence. Good or bad. But we do have the freedom to make decisions. I call that the “POWER OF CHOICE”. Happiness is a choice. Excellence is a choice. How we treat others is a choice. How we work with others is a choice. What we allow our mind to consume is a choice. Each habit we develop in our daily life is a choice. Your attitude is a choice. The level of your “Buy In” is a choice. Striving to be the best version of yourself is a choice.
Everyone talks about CULTURE. That’s because it’s the foundation of success in organizations, corporations and teams. To change the culture, you change the people. Change the mindset, the belief, the behavior, the “buy in”, the choices and the approach. Change what you do and how you do it. Start focusing on what you can control.
What is your MINDSET? It affects your attitude, how you view things, your ability to work with others and the choices you make.
Do you BELIEVE? Without belief and buy in, you have no chance to maximize your full potential.
Are you willing to do what it takes to get the results you want? Most are not. Be different. Be willing. It will change your life, your organization and your opportunities.
In 2024, Todd is celebrating 40 years of working with people and organizations! He would love the opportunity to work with you and your organization or community.

"Todd is a great colleague and friend. He bleeds positivity and knows how to 'infect' your group with that same positive momentum. Whether your group already has a great foundation of leadership, you're just getting started, or rebuilding and repairing, Todd is your guy! His methods are effective yet simple, so they are easy to maintain and build on from year to year. You will be glad you brought him out, and you'll want him back to work with YOU AND YOUR GROUP."

Whenever Todd worked with our band, he brought energy to our students which both inspired and motivated them. His passion and sincerity are impressive and his humor entertains. His knowledge of Marching Band and his unique ability to "connect" with teenagers is unsurpassed. Our kids truly loved Todd! He has high expectations, is a great teacher, and shows the students how to 'be happy but not satisfied' in their ongoing quest to achieve excellence and realize their potential.

Todd has provided so much to us as directors and to our students. His positivity, leadership guidance, and friendship have assisted us in taking our band to the next level. His initial guidance assisted us in creating a positive learning environment for our students. The atmosphere immediately changed within our organization. We can't say enough about Todd and what he does for kids and adults alike!

Todd is the real deal. He knows how to work with high school students, music educators, and coaches to get them to start thinking about team versus the “I – Me” mentality. He knows what teachers, coaches, and students are going through. He knows how to work with the whole person. Body, Mind, Spirit. He is a true inspiration.
