NEVER to be, “Will We?”
"As a high school football player in the early 1990s, I had the great fortune of being coached by Dan Duddy. In the summer of 1994, Coach Duddy painted the words “We Will” on a piece of plywood and hung it in our locker room. Unbeknownst to him at the time, those two words would have a profound impact far reaching beyond the players that he coached. Each player tapped that sign every time they entered and exited the locker room, which became a tradition that lasted for over two decades.
The “We Will” mantra is simple, cogent and powerful. It’s phonetical, easily digestible, and easily repeatable. It represents teamwork and resolve. “We Will” perfectly summarizes Aristotle’s quote; “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. I was personally deeply influenced by the depths of the mantra as a high school football player, as was our team, which the year it was introduced to us, our team succeeded in becoming the runner-up in the state championship game.
Nearly 20 years later, I introduced the “We Will” mantra to a tech company that I founded and later sold for $33 million. The “We Will” mantra was introduced and fully adopted by our employees. They had created custom shirts, stickers, signs, and more with the words “We Will” written on them. As a tech company, for many of our employees, this was their first introduction to being on a “team” and working towards a common goal. For others, it was nostalgic and a reminder of their playing days with teammates.
The “We Will” concept especially when presented by Dan himself, is explosive and draws people back to the fundamentals that everyone should give to something greater than themselves, with the knowledge that by doing so with trust in each other, there is no ceiling to our potential together. Dan speaks to this in a unique, passionate and penetrating way. I encourage you to invite Dan to your business to pass on the “We Will” mantra to your team!"

OUR MISSION
"I have been “around the block” of the dark times of having gone astray, and to the return to the light. Through the miraculously generous feedback of others, I have come to realize that “passion,” “energy,” and “messenger” are personality traits, hence callings of mine, and that calling must be answered with a voice and action.
I have a responsibility to inspire others to have a voice themselves. I encourage others to go into the silence and listen to their own hearts in order to become aware of the virtuous principles and vast potentials that live within, and become organized in those principles that make you, “you.” I stand next to you on a mission to amplify and activate that voice for and with you.
It has become my mission to INTENTIONALLY speak firmly into the hearts of those in earshot, in order to bring to them a profound understanding that each of us is called to live in fulfillment to inspire an exclaiming voice that unites our wills with His, and that we become INTENTIONALLY alive like never before. I want people to become alive in the rich God-given integrity of their respective callings, and I want to LIVE it with you whether you are a CEO, a business, teacher, faculty, student, school, coach, athlete, team, parent or family.
Our successes will leap forward when these truths are revealed together."
