Professional Keynoter Speaker, Trainer, Seminar & Workshop Leader
I empower people with the skills and insights they need to have greater influence in their personal and professional lives. I do this in three ways:
1. Keynote presentations that inspire people to make a change and take action.
2. Seminars that empower people with the tools, skills and insights they need to influence behavior and decisions.
3. Strategic wok sessions (workshops) that render traditional training obsolete. (No theory here) Participants get real work done during these 1-2 day intense work sessions!

What a gift! I'm thinking 'this guy is so passionate,' I can feel it in your voice. Talk about having an emotional connection with your audience! Keep on talking . . . it's infectious! I especially like the fact that you add in your own personal experiences.
– J Lucero, Abbott Laboratories
I must say that some of my staff were not excited about an 'outsider' coming in to 'tell them how to do their job. Once Duane started his talk, I could tell by their facial expressions that their concerns faded away. I was impressed with the manner in which he could emotionally connect to the staff on the issue. His greatest advantage is a sincere care that the customers be taken care of to the best of our ability. Duane says it because he believes it, and he lives it in his everyday professional life.
– C Cole, Jos. A. Bank
