Duane Zobrist

Duane Zobrist leads a unique life. In 1992, he decided to follow one of life’s serendipitous detours. Just weeks before beginning law school, he decided to change paths and pursue his passion—Falconry. Since founding The Falconry and Raptor Education Foundation in 1994, he has been involved in the start up of several successful, and a few unsuccessful, entrepreneurial ventures. He is an adventurer, facilitator, author, and speaker.

Duane’s passion for business and life is evident. He believes that if one seeks a balanced life and is committed to enjoying life’s journey, one will attract success in all aspects of life. Duane has oft en said, “Living a balanced life takes leadership. It takes an individual who knows where they are going, who they want to take with them, and why they want to be there.”

“Business leaders”, Duane continues “must be willing to give back to their community.” Duane has worked on many non-profit boards including, The Boy Scouts of America, Buckskin Council and Greenbrier Episcopal School. He is currently the regional membership chair and a chapter education officer in the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), an international organization which focuses on CEO education.

Energetic, insightful and memorable are words many attendees use to describe Duane and his presentation style. He masterfully weaves both contemporary and historical tales into his presentations, reinforcing his topic’s salient points. One thing is for sure, no boring presentations here.

Experiential events and education sessions are a key part of Duane’s programs. He often reminds clients, “If I speak to a group, they will listen, if I involve a group and they will remember.” Whether Duane is speaking about the importance of digital image and social networking, or creating an intense forum challenge, thanks to the high level of involvement, participants are sure to remember the session.

Duane formed The Duane Zobrist Group of Companies through strong leadership and dedication to the collaborative process. These companies include:

• Duane Zobrist Consulting-Duane guides corporate and family leadership training, consulting both on and off corporate campuses in a variety of frameworks, including retreats and team adventures. Not surprising to those who know him, collaboration is one of his favorite topics. A featured speaker at the GE Capital Leadership Summit, he helped 400 top performers understand the need to guard against the enemy: internal competition. And he sold them on the concept of working toward
  achieving a fully collaborative environment.
• Resort Outfitters-Responding to the rising demand for outdoor activities, Duane formed a company dedicated to providing adventure activities and team-building programs to clients at 5-star resorts. A staff of 25 provides kayak trips, mountain bike tours and rentals, rock-climbing on a 50-foot tower, nature hikes, and a variety of team-building activities. Their commitment: to create memories for their guests in serene natural surroundings at the finest stateside resorts.
• Destination Solutions-Again, Duane led the way. He formed this destination management company to provide logistical support for meeting-planners and others responsible for handling group travel arrangements. It proved to be a solid decision because the company achieved a 65 percent increase in overall revenues in 2007. It’s clear that in making the decision to launch this business, Duane lives by his favorite expressions, quoted here. For, just as he advises others to do, he is always looking for new opportunities and new markets.
