​Are You Sitting On Your Potential? 

2.0 Version - Four Decades Later

Duane’s mother, Lory, was a personal growth consultant and speaker in Chicago back in the 70’s.
Her most requested program was Are You Sitting On Your Potential?  Four decades later Duane now offers clients an inspiring and uplifting 2.0 version.

Are You Sitting On Your Potential is a question that is on the mind consciously or subconsciously of every human, athlete, entrepreneur, business owner and high achiever. Time passes, life unfolds and when you reflect back will you wonder Are You Sitting On Your Potential?




​The Rejection Advantage

Everything You Want In Life Is On The Other Side Of Rejection.

If you want to design a great life, be a high achiever, or have unusual success you must embrace rejection.

I believe the two most critical leadership and success skills are the ability to keep going and go to another level. Show me an employee, individual or young adult who can bounce back quickly and I will show you an MVP in the workplace and the game of life.  

​I also believe the #1 factor that stops us is REJECTION. If we're going to do world-class work we must embrace rejection. We must use rejection as a launch pad to bounce Back (get up) and rise above (excellence and achievement). Our achievements also come with a responsibility to the community and those less fortunate. You must use your talent and gifts to leave your mark (legacy).


Keynotes and Training


When you book Duane you're getting more than a keynote, training or coaching.

​You're getting a 360 interactive learning experience.

Duane understands humans love to interact. He understands adult learning consists of different learning modalities.
This requires a visual, auditory and kinesthetic experience. He understands you can't talk to a ​twenty-five year old
like a fifty year old. He understands there are different cultures in every audience. His extensive travel to 50 
countries and cultural awareness makes all people feel comfortable and welcome.
