Chance events can create life's path. While popular movies, such as Pay
It Forward and Amelie, have focused on the idea that one person's
actions can change future events, few individuals have dedicated their lives to
studying this phenomenon. Longtime professional speaker King Duncan is one of
those few, using his distinctive humor to spread his message about influence and
fate.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee's psychology department, Duncan
received his master of divinity at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington,
D.C. He also earned his C.T.M. from Toastmasters, International, and is a
certified trainer with the Carlson Learning Organization. A member of the
National Speakers Association and the International Platform Association, he was
the national winner of the latter's prestigious Speaker's Ladder award in
1993.
Duncan is the author of three books, including The Amazing Law of
Influence, published by Pelican. This reader-friendly book
examines the chaos theory, detailing how small changes can trigger monumental
transformations. The Law of Influence states that one life touches another,
potentially changing both singular and collective lives. People like John
Howard, who once helped a young journalist home, can significantly affect the
future. After all, the young journalist was Winston Churchill, and the rest is
history.
A member of the Senior Olympics basketball team, Duncan remains an
entertaining and inspiring speaker who reaches out to audiences across the
nation. The father of four and grandfather of two, he lives in Knoxville,
Tennessee, with his wife, Selina.
