During the seminar, entitled “Recession Confessions: Stories of Growth & Survival,” Duckett will discuss the power of innovation, the significance of the web in small business development, and the business owner’s need to take a leap of faith.
Inc.’s 5000 list is comprised of companies that appear on the magazine’s prestigious ranking of America’s fastest-growing privately held companies.
“I always enjoy the opportunity to share my stories with other business owners,” said Duckett. “I don’t possess any special magic that has made my drapery manufacturing businesses successful. But I tell people that if one has a vision and surrounds oneself with dedicated people who share in that vision, then through hard work and commitment, the customer will see something special and will desire it.”
Duckett has participated in speaking engagements throughout the world, presenting topics that include the role of the woman entrepreneur and the use of technology in small business. She visited China, among other locales, as part of the Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network and her native Australia as one of Dell Computer’s “Take Your Own Path” Trailblazers. Duckett has been recognized with many industry awards for her commitment to innovation and implementation of technology in her small businesses.
