One-to-one Coaching
I'm not a lifestyle guru, I'm an Indie Leadership Coach
Using Applied Improv, I help turn anxiety into spontaneity and rigid communication into real connection. I am a committed ‘outside the box’ thinker, seeing things from a different perspective and helping you to reframe your priorities. My coaching will unlock your objectives for the coming year, then keep you accountable to ensure you get there.
The Impro(ve) Approach: The Science of the Unscripted
I help the career-changers, the 'unsure' and the leaders build a life that actually fits them. I work with people who feel like they are struggling with adulthood or moving forward. My coaching approach is rooted at the intersection of creativity, improvisation and structure. I'll help you to stop performing who you 'should' be and start being who you actually are.
We use a three-pillar plan:
Pillar One: Your GPS
We track your goals using The Curve—a CPD-certified, one-page plan that makes sure you see the benefits in real time. In Yorkshire, we don't like waste, so every session drives real progress!
Pillar Two: The Internal Audit
Before building momentum, we need to know where you stand. I use AQai—the world’s leading adaptability tool—to stress-test your response to change. It reveals exactly where you’re stuck before you spend a second or a penny fixing it.
Pillar Three: Applied Improv
Drawing on my background as an actor, I use applied improv to help you listen, react, and lead when things go off-script. When life gets unpredictable or a conversation turns tough, there are no rehearsals. You either freeze, or you step up.
Duncan made cutting through the difficulties to find the nugget of gold in the centre feel like fun and interesting- even when it was really difficult.

I naively thought that there wasn't a lot, if anything, that I did not already know about how to go about achieving my goals. I'm glad to say that I was wrong. Duncan is a fantastic coach. He is a personal coach - he tailors what he says to your particular situation. I loved that he spent quality time getting to know me and giving me the support that I needed, and not wasting time with stuff that was not relevant. He's also a smashing bloke.
