Ben Dueck is a Canadian entrepreneur with a wide variety of experience throughout his career.
He started his first business as a teenager and has spent time in a variety of work environments ever since.
He has worked in the church, in non-profits, at a summer camp, in post-secondary education, in the Chamber of Commerce network, and as a small business owner more than three times, if you count his teenage venture.
To his everlasting regret, he missed the birth of his second daughter when he was taking courses for his Master of Arts in Leadership degree.
Above everything, he also enjoys being a father to three children (16, 10, and 5), and a husband to Kendra.
He is thankful is most recent entrepreneurial venture allows him to be at home more often to be a husband and father.

He does this primarily through Executive Leadership Coaching, Team Workshops and Facilitation, and Employee Engagement Consultation.
