Charlie Duke: on Earth...

Is your sales team made of the Right Stuff? Legendary lunar astronaut Charlie Duke will be aiming to inspire his audience to even greater heights at ‘Successful Selling 2010’ this coming October with his keynote address ‘The Ultimate Performance’.

The NASA veteran became the tenth man to walk on the moon during the 1972 Apollo 16 mission. Prior to that, Duke was an integral part of two other historic missions, including the ‘voice of Houston’ during the Apollo 11 mission. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the genuine pioneers of manned space flight.

Duke is described as a ‘man who has set goals and attained them’. He also ‘encourages and inspires others to reach their goals and beyond’ and is travelling from Houston to share with delegates a first-hand account of what has been described as ‘NASA’s finest hour’. He will offer Britain’s sales professionals an insight into high-performing teamwork at the ultimate level.
