Our Team

Don Kardux is the President and founder of Business Navigators, a company dedicated to helping people "Chart the Course to Success" and has worked with over 90 organizations and corporations throughout the Midwest. His special interest in business and organizations is strengthened through his years as a Territory Manager for Lennox Industries and later as one of the first Dealer Marketing Advisors for Lennox. 

Don's focus has been in assisting people to identify what they need to do next, and then helping them to do it. While the main thrust of Business Navigators service has been in facilitating change through Planning and Implementation, Don Kardux has developed a number of specific tools that are simple, practical and "real world." 

Don's daily involvement with people at work make his practical insights particularly valuable. His 25 years of making presentations and Theatre experience make his workshops very entertaining.
