Dre McLaughlin – The Introverted Authority Builder

From living in a shed at 25 to becoming a globally recognised authority builder, Dre McLaughlin’s journey is proof that introverts can dominate the spotlight—without losing themselves in the noise.

With 20+ years in sales & recruitment, Dre has mastered the art of selling—both people and ideas, earning accolades like Vodafone Business’s Top Performer in Asia Pacific and ranking as Michael Page’s 3rd most-viewed LinkedIn employee globally (out of 7,338). But behind the accolades? A self-proclaimed massive introvert who’d rather deep dive into strategy than small talk.

A certified coach, NLP practitioner, and timeline therapy specialist, Dre has invested over $100,000 in personal development, trained with world-class mentors, and turned his insights into 4 books—while helping others become best-selling authors themselves. His most successful business client? $220,000+ USD in 15 months. And one of his most proudest achievements was helping a former Resume client, successfully increase her earnings to $220,000 AUD in new nursing position.

Dre doesn’t just teach, he proves it works. From selling his own services ($0 to $25,000 per client) to nearly hitting $100,000 USD in 2 days at a 2022 event, his strategies blend relentless hustle with soul. He’s the former host of the Hot Hire 6 & 7-Figure Coaches on Fire Podcast, a he completed 107 podcasts in 24-hours, and was the architect of a 3-day, 100-mini-masterclass charity event featuring 97 business owners, who colectively raised over $8,500 for Angelman & Rett's Syndrome.

Originally from the UK, Dre lived in Australia's Brisbane and Gold Coast, dodging spiders (and mediocrity). His turning point?

A Tony Robbins event in 2018 that flipped his life upside down. Then came COVID... A brutal catalyst that pushed him from $3 in his pocket at Aldi, not knowing where his next meal or client was coming from, to leading a 25-person team that’s helped collectively, 6,000+ people build authority and launch careers.

His Mission: To help you sell yourself, scale your influence, and own your story, because Dre’s lived every high and low himself.

His Motto: “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13

His Personal & Business Values: Trust, Truth, Transparency & Thankfulness.
