Speaker
If you're looking for someone to share a message about communication, connection, leadership and, ultimately, how to enjoy amazing relationships at home and at work then I'm your guy. I've provided workshops, keynotes and presentations for many different size businesses and organizations over the past 30 years. What I'm finding currently, due to the current Covid19 situation, is that the more intimate presentations through video or in person (when possible) are very powerful. You'll learn how to create connections that change everything.

Author
With several articles published in business magazines over the years I finally stepped up and contributed a chapter to an anthology titled, The Happiness Code; Small Habits ~ Beautiful Life (availible on Amazon). Since that time and being totally bitten by the author bug, I'm now in the process of writing my own book titled, The Power of Showing Up scheduled for release in 2022.
Coach
As a certified Life Coach for nearly 20 years I've come to understand that how we choose to show up for others makes all the difference. I work with individuals and groups who recognize the importance of relationships, who understand that we're created for connection and who are brave enough to begin showing up in ways that allow others in their lives to feel truly seen and heard. The results of showing in the ways in which I coach are amazing and something special begins to happen. Not only are those around you validated for the amazing people they are but you also begin to be seen differently. Your humanity, your compassion and yes, your love shines through so that others see you as the amazing spouse, parent, friend, boss, co-worker, person you truly are. Lives are changed by how you choose to show up for others and in the process... so is yours.
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."

Hi, i'm Duke
and let's just say that I'm the guy who can definitely share how not to show up for others. Let me explain why I say that. For years I thought everything in my life was okay but by not knowing what it meant to truly show up for my most significant others I failed to recognize how amazing they were. It took a divorce, estranged family and friends to finally wake me up to the pitfalls of not truly showing up. Most of us cruise through life unintentionally choosing to live by default and it ends up being painful.
What I've come to understand is that there is no greater gift we can give another person than to show up for them in ways that allow them to feel truly seen and heard. And in the process, we're seen in very different and wonderful ways.
With some amazing coaches of my own and the willingness to embrace, it's not about me, I've learned what showing up for others really looks like. It's what I share with those brave souls who are willing to get out of their own way and give it a try.
When I'm not having a coaching conversation, writing, doing a podcast or giving a presentation you'll probably find me outdoors running, biking, playing pickleball or visiting my kids and grandchildren.
