"It’s rare to go through two full days of training where every minute feels intentional, but that was absolutely the case here. Nothing felt wasted, and the progression of the material made it easy to absorb and apply. What stood out most was how thoroughly you broke down the initial patient journey. You didn’t just focus on “big wins” — you helped us examine each moment of the visit and find ways to make it more intentional, more personalized, and ultimately more effective for the patient. That level of detail is where real growth happens. Your patient-centered approach to sales really resonated with our team."

- John Chakan, Owner/Operating Director, Berkeley Hearing Center

"I cannot recommend Dr. Nancy Duncan highly enough as a business consultant and trainer. Bringing her in to work with our providers has been one of the most impactful decisions we’ve made for our practice. Dr. Duncan’s approach is incredibly methodical, intentional, and grounded in real-world application. She doesn’t just teach theory, she equips providers with clear, repeatable strategies that elevate both clinical care and patient communication. Dr. Duncan has a unique ability to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and business performance. She raises the bar for providers while keeping the patient at the center of every process. Any practice looking to improve outcomes, strengthen provider confidence, and deliver a higher standard of care would greatly benefit from her expertise."

- Dr. Kelsi Mangrem, Owner, Holland Hearing in Abilene, Texas

"Nancy is the kind of audiologist who never stops growing. Everything she pursues, every skill she sharpens, you can tell it comes from a genuine desire to do better for herself and her patients. Her passion is contagious, and it's exactly what she brought into our clinic. She spent two full days at my clinic discussing additional ways to help patients, including how to properly implement speech-in-noise testing in a clinical practice setting, in a way that serves patients day to day. Unlike many trainings where you hear theory and the ‘how-to,’ Nancy was hands-on. She helped set up the equipment and walked my team through the ‘why’ behind everything. My team and I left with a greater appreciation for what this type of testing can do."

- Jana Emola-Austin, Owner, Allison Audiology in Houston

Nancy Duncan

Certified Guide

Nancy Duncan knows that in audiology, clinical skill is only part of the equation. After three decades of practice, she has seen firsthand how hard it is to build a deep, trusting bond with a patient in a single 60 to 90-minute window. Often, patients who desperately need help are in denial or simply “not ready” to commit. For many practitioners, the fear of appearing pushy creates a barrier that prevents patients from getting the devices they need.

Having followed Phil M Jones’ work for years, Nancy realized that truly mastering communication required more than just a brief workshop—it required a deeper dive. She chose to become a Certified Guide because she saw how specific words have the power to shift the entire “vibe” of a room and change how a patient feels toward their provider.

When you work with Nancy, she helps your team move away from mundane, transactional habits and back into the meaningful work of helping people. Her mission is to share the “magic” of these words with fellow audiologists, whether they are industry veterans or new to the practice. By refining your communication, Nancy helps you ensure that every patient feels supported on a path to better hearing, making the profession feel exciting and new all over again.

"Words matter. They can shift a person’s feeling toward you and yours toward them. These words give you the magic to make a transaction a meaningful one so the patient feels they’re being helped, not just sold to."
