Head Coach Danny Hurley led the UConn Huskies from unranked to National Champions in 2023, and shares strategic takeaways

Head Coach DANNY HURLEY knows what it takes to be an architect of success – having rebuilt multiple struggling hoops programs to national prominence. Most recently, he led the previously unranked UConn Huskies to the NCAA 2023 championship title. In one of the most impressive March Madness runs in history, the Huskies defeated San Diego State 76-59 to clinch the title.

One of the most dynamic coaches in college basketball today, Hurley comes from legendary hoops family – following in the footsteps of his brother Bobby who took the family to the Final Four in 1990 as a player at Duke and his Dad Bob Sr., who is in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. In sought-after events, Hurley reveals the secrets to maximizing personnel, creating a team environment for success, unifying an organization around a shared vision, and motivating team members to achieve their best.

HWA is proud to represent three TIME 100 Most Influential People Honorees Padma Lakshmi, Michael B. Jordan, and Catherine Coleman Flowers

Each year TIME honors 100 public figures for its iconic list, celebrating individuals who wield their influence to drive positive action toward a better world. Three HWA speakers are present on the 2023 list: acclaimed actor and director MICHAEL B. JORDAN, globally recognized environmental activist CATHERINE COLEMAN FLOWERS and Emmy Award-winning television host PADMA LAKSHMI.

Padma is an incredible writer, and that really shines through when she speaks. She’s articulate and has a strong point of view […] I’m always in awe of Padma because, yes, she really is that beautiful, talented, and charismatic. She’s iconic. Writes comedian Ali Wong about Lakshmi.

Director Ryan Coolger recalls the hard work Michael B. Jordan put into his 2023 directorial debut, Creed III: “It’s like climbing a mountain summit through enemy territory with your heart exposed. But I knew Mike had it in him. Because over that quarter-century of work, nothing was given to him. Everything was earned. And I strongly believe that his best work is still to come.”

Founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, Bryan Stevenson muses about Coleman Flowers’s work to gain environmental justice for her Alabama hometown and beyond: “In August 2022, in part because of Catherine’s work, the Biden Administration chose Lowndes [county] as the place to announce the EPA would devote $50 billion to wastewater issues with a focus on underserved communities. She has compelled leaders to address a crisis aggravated by bigotry and poverty, all while keeping her feet firmly planted in the soil of her homeland.”

Jordan, Flowers, and Lakshmi continue to inspire people around the world and are highly sought after for their insightful talks, moderated Q&A’s and engaging keynotes for audiences of all kinds.
