Cancer Survivorship Speaker
Cancer Survivorship Speaker Doug Dvorak
Doug’s Cancer Survivorship Story
He was already developing skills and lessons which would help later mark him as he is known today, a major force, international star, and award winning motivational speaker. In 1998, he had not yet discovered his gift of helping others with inspiration and clarity and wonderful communication. Cancer came in the door first.
Even in 1998, Doug had a powerful legacy of personal courage, optimism, honor, resolve, and toughness. He did not need extra homework in emotional strength nor extra coping skills; but then that is the problem with cancer. Nobody invites it in and nobody deserves the visit. In the past few decades, Doug Dvorak has risen to become one of the most highly sought after cancer survivorship speakers; adept at helping others with stress management, motivation, morale building, humor and healing.
Doug Dvorak’s own trials began in the form of two virulent types of skin cancer diagnosed in May of 1998. This motivational keynote speaker was given an incredibly poor prognosis due to multiple locations of the cancers and the diffuse nature of their spread. Doug astounded himself and the medical community when he survived both of these brutal diseases. He realized after defeating cancer twice, that by comparison no personal or business challenge– would be, could be, or should be– as great.
