I was stuck in old patterns and wanted to try something different from traditional goal-setting like the SMART method. That’s why I booked a process with Duane, where he guided me through the Future Mapping process and helped me draw my own map. Duane was fully present, asked great reflective questions, and was really skilled at facilitating the process – I felt safe and at ease throughout.
The system relies more on feelings than on conventional goals. At first, it felt a bit unfamiliar, and I was both skeptical, restless, and impatient. I left my Future Map hanging visibly, but didn’t give it much attention. Still, afterwards I realized that I had actually achieved the feeling I had set out for from the beginning – even though the individual phases and dates didn’t perfectly match my reality.
What I especially learned was to tame my impatience and trust the process. Duane is very positive and generously shares his own experiences. I would recommend him to any professional who wants to learn a simple technique for achieving what they truly care about and feel passionate about.
Future Mapping with Duane is a safe, inspiring, and straightforward way to discover what really drives you – guided by a present and highly competent facilitator.

"I sat down with Duane last year and he taught me the process of Future Mapping. It is truly an incredible tool, which has helped me stay steady on my way to my goal. It really goes to show that when you do something through the intention of loving & helping others, your desired achievement and dreams lean on your doorbell. Thanks a lot Duane!! "

Future Mapping is a method I first discovered through Paul R. Scheele at Learning Strategies Corp. — an online course that fascinated me with its visionary approach to goal-setting by engaging the subconscious mind throughout the process. The method itself is simple and intuitive, yet mastering it requires practice and skill to effectively facilitate for an audience. Duane immersed himself in the methodology and conducted practical Future Mapping sessions in both group and one-on-one settings—I was fortunate to participate in one of them. From my observations, the general feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Participants find the Future Mapping session itself clarifying and insightful, helping them sharpen focus on their goals. Even more remarkable is the follow-up feedback, where people report that events later unfold in striking alignment with their Future Mapping. Duane has mastered Future Mapping in all its facets —whether working with multiple time horizons or facilitating social interaction and communication in a way that ensures a smooth, professional, and rewarding experience for everyone, be it in one-on-one or group sessions.
