- My Bio:
- Neil Ducoff has epitomized the “No-Compromise” mantra throughout his career as a business trainer, keynote speaker and author, as he’s coached business leaders and entrepreneurs to achieve the highest levels of success and profitability, while creating a positive, rewarding workplace. But as economic conditions have become increasingly more challenging, this champion of compassionate, get-it-done leadership has modeled how running a business based on “No-Compromise Leadership” truly makes the difference between championing an authentic, profitable and meaningful business that matters to its customers and its team and simply closing the doors.
As the founder and CEO of Strategies, a business training and coaching company, this visionary is lauded as the guru of Team-Based Pay, the core principle at the heart of his turnaround strategies and innovative growth solutions that banish complacency and the status quo to truly make the difference between success and failure for modern business leaders. Ensconced in the trenches with fellow entrepreneurs, he issues the wake-up call and charts the path that will show business leaders how to grow sales and profitability, turn customers into raving fans and ensure employees are fully engaged and highly evangelistic, setting the tone for cultural transformation, changing paradigms and the standard for success in a changing world.
In addition to dedicating almost 40 years to coaching leaders at great companies, like Gillette, Aveda and Matrix, Ducoff has been a featured speaker at the annual National Gathering of Games conference, presented by Jack Stack’s The Great Game of Business, over the past five years. Ducoff was honored as a “business icon” at the annual Serious Business: Legends & Icons conference in 2006 and was the recipient of the 2005 Art of Business Award. He is also the author of Fast Forward, the definitive business and leadership resource guide for the salon, spa and resort spa industries.
Ducoff is the author of No-Compromise Leadership: A Higher Standard of Leadership Thinking & Behavior — the definitive book on get-it-done leadership and dynamic business cultures.
Ducoff lives in Centerbrook, CT, with his wife, Joanne.

- What I do best:
- AS A SPEAKER: My role is to add high value to your event by delivering a compelling Keynote to stir emotions and create a memorable experience. Yes, I make them laugh. Yes, I am engaging on personal level. No...I am not a high maintenance speaker. My role is to support - not create stress for event organizers. That's what a no-compromise speaker does.
My new book, No-Compromise Leadership, rolled off the presses in October 2008 to rave reviews, just in time to help guide leaders to achieving an authentic, profitable and meaningfully company and rewarding workplace. To help your company navigate these challenging economic times and rapidly evolving marketplace, this author, entrepreneur and CEO would love the opportunity to share his game-changing paradigm reset for business with your group.
No-Compromise Leadership is all about the thinking, behavior and accountability that support all leadership results and outcomes. Joined together, these two simple words immediately establish a higher standard of leadership thinking and behavior. They provide a powerful internal compass that keeps you and your company steadfastly on course. By design, no compromise cuts through the myriad excuses, emotional blockages and procrastination that silently infect leadership performance. When no compromise becomes your mandate - the guiding principle upon which all other leadership behavior emanates - the resulting business outcomes will be nothing short of breakthrough.
As a result of adapting no-compromise leadership, you'll:
· Experience a sharper, more focused sense of purpose
· Know what needs to be done - and get it done
· Tackle issues that you would ordinarily keep on the back burner where they fester and grow
· Be more decisive with your communication and how you relate to those you lead
· Make better decisions by focusing on details
· Lead your business, team or organization to great profitability and success
Neil customizes his keynotes and workshops to your group's needs, combining his keen insights into what tomorrow's leaders need to hear today in order to guide their business and team through the challenging marketplace. His witty sense of humor (expressed through "Neilisms," a group of simple, insightful, straight-from-the-gut business truths that drive right to the heart of becoming a no-compromise leader) and give-it-to-them-straight conversational presentational style will both inform and entertain your members.

Testimonials...
Neil Ducoff is one of the "good guys" in business. He helps people understand business and leadership all over the world. He shares his experiences and he puts his practices to work in his books, speeches, his company and his life. No-Compromise Leadership is more than a great read, it is what true leadership is all about.
Jack Stack, - CEO SRC Holding Corp., author of the “Great Game of Business” and “A Stake in the Outcome”
Neil is an extraordinary teacher, speaker, and leader, and he has done great things for hundreds of businesses by introducing them to the cutting-edge management techniques and ideas that they must learn to be successful in the long term. Along the way, he has built a fabulous company filled with smart, dedicated people who are the best at what they do.
Bo Burlingham - Editor at Large, Inc. Magazine and author of "Small Giants: Companies that Choose to be Great Instead of Big?
If you want complex management philosophy, go to Harvard Business School. However, if you’re looking for practical, no-compromise methods for engaging your entire organization in building a successful business, Neil Ducoff is the “go to” trainer. Neil combines humor with articulation and personal experience to produce a unique presentation style that captures and motivates his audiences.
Steve Wilson - Founder, Mid-States Technical (an INC. 500 company)
Neil Ducoff is one of the key agents of positive change in business today. Empowering business owners and leaders with a solid understanding of cash flow addresses one of the major weaknesses of being in business today. Neil also promotes a leadership vision and service-operation set of technologies that help leaders gain better control of their business to dramatically improve their profitability. Neil is an inspiring educator and has built a solid team of coaches who deliver excellent content with a hands-on and highly individualized approach. A keynote or training session by Neil is a must!
Dominique Conseil, President, Aveda Corporation, Minneapolis, MN
It is rare, in this fast changing world, to laugh and learn at the same time. Neil Ducoff is the master of both. Audiences large and small are enlightened and entertained all at once. His presentations are clear, bright and to the point. He weaves his wisdom, collected throughout his successful career, into every presentation. Give yourself and your organization a great gift: Invite Neil Ducoff to share his “Strategies” at your next special event. The rewards will far exceed the investment!
Douglas A. Cox - Director of Team Member Communications, Seminole Gaming of Florida; Hollywood, FL
If you want to inspire your team and take your organization to the next level, a presentation by Neil Ducoff is a must. Neil has the ability to cut through the rhetoric and get your team focused. Neil’s skill is in taking a process, be it cash-flow management, budgeting or day-to-day operations, and breaking it down into understandable, manageable segments which everyone can follow. The success lies in Neil’s delivery. Neil makes his presentations and seminars exciting and humorous. When you see your team enjoying a seminar and actually bringing back to the rest of the team what they have learned, you know you have found a recipe for success.
Joanne Domanski - Chief Financial Officer, Collega Aveda, Toronto, Canada
Over the last eight years or so, I have participated in a number of presentations by Neil Ducoff and his very professional team of educators. Neil’s unique “no-compromise” approach to presenting vital information, concepts and creative solutions is refreshing and inspiring compared to the often “sugar-coated” presentations. My colleagues and clients who attend Neil’s presentations are impressed with the dynamic style and scope of the information they receive. They especially appreciate the “take-away” applications and systems for immediate implementation. I highly recommend this energetic presenter.
Raffaela Caruso - Sr. Vice-President Operations and Finance, Collega International, Toronto, Canada
Our company has turned to Neil frequently to teach and inspire the insights that have defined his legendary career. Through his unique style, Neil draws the audience into his every thought and once there, he hammers home the ideas that he wants to resonate. Those ideas have generated a following of dedicated professionals who are passionate about the leadership behind all great success stories. The theme, supporting ideas and audience all come together to share and learn in an engaging discussion about the immutable laws of business according to Neil.
Bob Salem - Co-Founder, Profound Beauty, New York, NY
The team approach to management has never been more important than it is today. Neil’s out-of-the-box approach to compensation strategies, teamwork, employee involvement in goals and finances … keeps him at the top of my speaker list every year for our annual user group conferences.
John Harms - President/CEO, Harms Software Inc., Boonton, New Jersey
Neil’s presentations are truly compelling because he forces us to re-question how we do business. He gives pragmatic tools that are easy to implement. His presentations are dynamic because Neil is able to transmit his passion for business.
Vincent Lemieux - Brand Director, Kérastase Paris / Canada
What sets Neil apart from all speakers and trainers is his natural ability to deliver leadership and business concepts that truly inspire action and positive change. He checks his ego at the door and speaks from both his head and his heart. Neil’s passion to help others succeed is driven by his belief that every leader and business can achieve its full potential by focusing on and mastering the disciplines of business success. In my opinion, no one can help companies overcome today’s challenges and embrace change for the future better than Neil.
Peter J. Wright - Chief Operating Officer, Littleton Regional Hospital, Littleton, VT
What I love most about Neil’s presentations is that although he takes his material very seriously, he does not take himself too seriously. He has a gift for helping people take that good, hard look at their businesses. And once they see where they are lacking, they realize they’ve got the perfect coach in Neil to see them through.
Winn Claybaugh - Author, Co-Founder & Dean, Paul Mitchell Schools

If I were to rate him, it would be A+.

Great to hear from you! Chuck will be starting his workout schedule at the end of February. He received a wake up call from his heart around Christmas. He is doing great now. He is focusing on getting his heart healthy. I believe he is finally reading, "Younger Next Year". I am sure he would love to hear from you.
Best regards,
Debbie

Will do....
The count down is on here in Australia, and I have posted my one burning imperative for 2009 in a discussion 'To engrave, or not to engrave, that will be the outcome:"
The discussion includes an invitation to publicly post your one burning ambition for 2009.
Would love to hear from you. Happy new year Neil
Thanks for connecting on SpeakerSite. Would you consider being a guest on my new BusinessPOWER podcast? Your Team Based Pay model sounds fascinating and would be of great interest to my listeners.
