Helping others live life on purpose with purpose

As president and CEO of The Duncan Approach, Sylvia Duncan inspires all to live their life on purpose with purpose! As a young girl, Sylvia endured many hardships growing up in Chicago’s Stateway Gardens one of Chicago’s housing projects. After witnessing the death of her father and one of her brothers, Sylvia began a journey that took her on both highs and lows in her life. It was during the lows that she realized that God had a purpose for her life and she came to believe that regardless of what you’ve gone through, “you are not the sum total of all you’ve experienced”. She began a personal journey to prove that you can overcome your past, discover your purpose and walk in your intended destiny.

Sylvia’s passion to inspire others through speaking was born out of her compassion for people and her determination to inform and educate others of the fact that we all have a purpose for our life and that purpose can be realized, and we can walk in our destiny!

A former Account Executive in the Transit Advertising and Print Advertising Industries, Sylvia combines her honed presentation skills with her knowledge in Christian Education to encourage all to live the life for which they were created.

As a Gift Advisor for a well known not-for-profit organization, she encouraged perspective donors to think about planned giving, and create a living legacy before their death. Her “Redeeming the Time Planned Living Workshop” was born from this concept.

In the “Redeeming the Time Planned Living Workshop: attendees will:

  1. Maximize meaning and impact for their life
  2. Reach for more than they can imagine
  3. Make their time count

Participants will be inspired and motivated to step out on faith and start the business they’ve always wanted to start, apply for that position they didn’t think they were qualified for or just become more productive and fulfilled in their life, living on purpose!
