"Al Duncan was high content and extremely impactful. Students loved Al Duncan because he was extremely practical and personable.
For instance, Al's keynote address provided our student-body with practical steps to improve their personal effectiveness and leadership qualities.
His 'Duncan Nuggets' proved to be an instant hit as one student wrote, 'I loved Al, he had very common sense ideas that people simply overlook. His Duncan Nuggets are everyday phrases you can take with you for a long time, and he will converse with you after the event.'
Simply said, Al Duncan has style and substance."

"Greetings Mr. Duncan!
I just wanted to take the time to say 'THANK YOU' for coming to Grayslake, Illinois and being the keynote speaker for the 1st Generation Youth Leadership Summit at the College of Lake County.
You definitely exceeded our expectations with your powerful, insightful and motivational story. The youth who were in attendance really enjoyed your speech. You are truly a hidden gem, but there comes a time when ALL gems have to shine!
There are many people who claim to be motivational speakers but only few can hold the title and claim full ownership.
Mr. Duncan, your participation was truly a connection that was meant to happen. We are all still flying high on your plane of inspirational guidance.
Please continue to pour into this generation as I am sure you will definitely make a great impact around the globe. I wish you the best and I hope that we will be able to connect in the near future as we continue to provide services for our target audience, which is low-income, first generation pre-college students. Blessings to you!
Best regards,"
