Duncan has devoted his life to the field of 'Work Aesthetics'; which he crafted with the intention of enabling more people to contribute good to society by generating positive energy through authentic vocation; achieving a "delight-filled fusion of fabric, function, form and flow".Alongside his private coaching practice based in Nairn in The Highlands of Scotland and London in the South of England, Duncan also consults to organisations on Employee Engagement, Talent Management and People Strategy across all professional disciplines, levels of experience and industrial sectors. With his specialist fields being 'digital, technology and telecoms' start-ups where his focus is on generating value by aligning talent with the critical mission and goals defined by an organisation's Business Plan.With an innate gift for extrapolating social trends, personal development ideals and labour market intelligence towards accurately forecasting the future of work, it has been said his ideas on the labour markets, motivation, career management and purpose are “visionary”. His innovative, results-orientated, pioneering and evangelical spirit sees him pushing barriers in his daily work and many sporting pursuits; especially long-distance swimming, golf, mindfulness and triathlon.Throughout this 24 years, he has been helping individuals and organisations decode their occupational DNA; in order to maximise their potential and, ultimately, experience greater happiness and fulfilment in how they contribute to the knit of their communities, through their livelihoods, earning their their living - holistically and sustainably.In the past he has coached golf, basketball, rugby, tennis, fitness and swimming and uses his proven coaching techniques to complement his delivery as coach and consultant. Duncan also has the unique - some might say controversial - distinction of having had 35 jobs in the first 32 years of his life. So he knows what it is like to navigate the minefield of 'not knowing' what to do! Perhaps more by process of elimination, there is one thing for sure. Duncan discovered his calling and leverages his insights positively!At school his English Language teacher proclaimed to his class that one day Duncan would be a Writer. And this is the ultimate destiny Duncan has strived towards ever since. In his writing he draws upon his many joyful and painful anecdotes to help contextualise his message that life can be about perseverance, passion and purpose and that, in spite of what we sometimes might think, the universe remains a deeply loving, altruistic, benevolent force for good.'Everything' in Duncan’s life hinges around the aesthetics of movement, craft, devotion and work. He loves the efficiency derived by the mastery of technique and nurtures this beauty in work and play. He has come to realise that purposeful, passionate, proactive and persevering people are innately charismatic and energy-giving in a challenged world where 90% of people are in the wrong job or not engaged by their work at all. Right now everything he does is about getting more people into their ‘right work’ and spreading his ideas through print, coaching and workshops.An 'ideas factory', his evangelical style has led him to design ‘employability’ TV programmes for the BBC (‘Up for Hire’), contribute to the design of the National Careers Service Advisory Panel for the UK Government’s Dept for Business Innovation & Skill & Dept for Education and dynamic career development programmes for world-leading organisations like Vodafone and Haringey Action Group on Alcohol.ver menos
