Neil Ducoff Bio — December 2008 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.
