BOOK DUAN TO SPEAK

Olympic-tier keynote, fireside, and youth assembly bookings. The comeback mindset, the work behind the medal, and what it actually takes to be the fastest man in Canada.

The talk

Speak To Your Room

I speak about high performance, the comeback mindset, and what it actually takes to compete on the world stage. I ran the Paris Olympics through a torn labrum and a sports hernia, then came back to beat Aaron Brown and become Canada's fastest man. That story translates anywhere people are chasing something hard.

Why me. I am an active Olympic sprinter, not a retired one. The lessons are current, the energy is real, and your audience hears it from someone still in the fight, not someone looking back on it.

Recent placements include the TECHSKIS Summit, the RBC Right To Play Power of Play Breakfast, and Right To Play campaigns reaching youth across the GTA and abroad.
