Keynote speaker just announced: Olympic Legend Duncan Armstrong

Hot on the heels of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Duncan Armstrong will share his views on management excellence and 'success as a process' to the backdrop of the Management Excellence Awards Final (Brisbane region).

The Management Excellence Awards are a premier event, focused on identifying those individuals in the workplace whose vision, skill and integrity bring about a significant impact and inspire others to exceed.

The Management Excellence Awards are one of the few awards that recognise the individual manager’s excellence in management and leadership and celebrate and acknowledge their achievements.

AIM invites you and your staff and colleagues to join us at this prestigious luncheon event when we celebrate Brisbane’s best managers.

Speaker Profile

Duncan Armstrong
Raised in the Central Queensland town of Rockhampton, Duncan Armstrong rose to national and international fame at the Seoul Olympics in 1988 when he broke the world record to win the Gold medal in the 200 metres freestyle.

Duncan formed a winning relationship with madcap coach Laurie Lawrence which spanned 10 years, collecting Gold at the Commonwealth Games, Pan Pacific championships and numerous national and international competitions.

During his stellar career Duncan also won a host of honours out of the water, including Young Australian of the Year and an Order of Australia medal.

After representing Australia at two Olympic Games, Duncan retired from the pool in 1993 to pursue a career in media and corporate coaching. Duncan is currently contracted with Fox Sports and presents all their swimming coverage, as well as hosts Fox Sports Central on Sundays. Athens 2004 was Duncan’s third Olympics as a commentator, where he brought all the action from poolside with Radio 2GB.

“Success is a process. You learn how to achieve – and then make it happen.” Duncan Armstrong
