As a radio broadcaster, Doug was named the best in the state of Illinois four years running. As a community leader Doug mobilized grass roots efforts that found miraculous funding for seemingly undoable projects time and time again! He’s always felt that sitting around whining about problems never solved them. It’s the doers who win! Doug has been a doer!

He has written two books: “Motivational Leaders” and “Ray Eliot: The Spirit and Legend of Mr. Illini,” and has created one of the greatest leadership self assessments ever in “Doug Cartland’s 100 Questions for Leaders.” He has spent the last ten years moving and re-energizing thousands of people and hundreds of organizations with his secrets!

He has spoken in forty-seven of the fifty United States (c’mon Montana, Delaware and Hawaii!). Blue collar, white collar, green collar, purple collar; from warehouses and boardrooms; from every corner of America; men, women; the labor force, union or non-union, public or private; team leaders, mid-managers and senior executives have hailed Doug as one of the great speakers and trainers they ever heard!

His mixture of passion, humor and story-telling challenges his listeners in exciting, entertaining and meaningful ways! Let Doug’s energy, commitment, common sense, down to earth practicality and thirty years of experience produce lasting results for your business or organization!
