Dr. Duncan's Promise

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I realize that planning an important meeting is a big deal. A lot of people are depending on you. The attendees and participants want their time to be well invested. They want to walk away with value. And your own reputation as a meeting planner is on the line.

So here's what I promise:

Professionalism

• My client roster includes the senior management teams of some of the world's best companies, as well as cabinet officials in two White House administrations. These people accept nothing less than the highest standards of professionalism. That's what I deliver. You can be confident that I know how to "behave" in every circumstance. 
  
• I don't drink alcohol (or even caffeine), and the strongest pharmaceutical I take is an occasional aspirin. The primary "fuel" for my energy is my own adrenalin surge in delivering value for you and your group.
  
• My personal style is comfortable for people in the boardroom as well as on the shop floor.

Content

• I have a reputation for providing content-rich programs. My presentations have a clear purpose, they're well organized, they're delivered with energy and flair, and they provide strong take-away value. I don't want just an ovation (although that's always nice). I want your people to use the ideas I present in strengthening their own performance days, weeks and months after I'm gone.
  
• I use (always clean) humor that makes a relevant point and reminds people that part of high performance is being "human." If you want belly laughs, hire a comedian or ventriloquist. If you want serious ideas for dramatically improving your organization's effectiveness, call on me.
  
• I use lots of stories and metaphors to make my key points memorable. Stories also bring energy and pace to my presentations and contribute to the fun atmosphere of learning.
  
• If you'll settle for pop psychology or bland platitudes, there are hundreds of speakers who can accommodate. But if you want a speaker who challenges the status quo with mature and thoughtful ideas that are relevant to your organization and your audience, I can deliver. 
  
• One client said my speeches are like "transforming chicken soup into a bullion cube."  That's no accident. I carefully create multi-vitamin, fat-free messages that are enriched with calories that count. 

Preparation

• The first rule of effective communication is "know your audience." So I take great pains to gather pertinent information on the purpose of your event and the needs of your group (see Pre-Program Questionnaire). In addition to close coordination with you, the meeting planner, I often do telephone interviews with some of your organization's other key people.
  
• My programs are carefully tailored to your program and audience needs. 
  
• As a practicing consultant and executive coach, I constantly gather fresh information and insights. You get the benefit of these in my presentations.

Results

• I always appreciate high ratings after a speaking engagement. But my greatest satisfaction comes when a client reports how my ideas and counsel are translated into notably better performance. This kind of return on investment is the only reason I offer my services as a speaker.
  
• A key purpose of my speaking is to help your people in the process of self-discovery. I want them to discover ways to do better and to be better, and I work hard to provide insights that they'll want to embrace with renewed enthusiasm and commitment.

This is what I'll deliver for you. You have my promise.
