Duncan Piper-Blake

Hello. I’m Duncan. I’m an executive coach working with senior leaders to unlock their potential, enhance leadership impact, and drive meaningful organisational change. I am one of just a handful of accredited coaches in the UK who are also qualified therapists. My coaching is deep, focussed and results-oriented, helping clients identify and make the changes that will have the greatest impact on them, their teams, and their organisations. I have a particular interest in the relationship between psychological health and high-performance in business, and I create a non-judgemental, highly attuned environment that encourages self-reflection, resilience, and sustainable growth.

Prior to focusing on coaching, I was a founder and leader in business, education, and the social impact sector. I was appointed by Sir James Dyson in 2017 as the founding CEO of The Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, a pioneering university at the heart of industry. Before that I founded a leadership development company delivering corporate and educational programmes in the UK, US and Asia. I began my commercial career at Procter & Gamble. Across these roles, I have delivered thousands of hours of one-to-one coaching and training, supporting leaders to build their influence, strengthen working relationships, and achieve high-impact outcomes.

I am trained by the top coach training schools in the world, the Co-Active Training Institute and the International Coach Academy, and Europe’s leading integrative psychotherapy school,The Minster Centre. I am accredited by the International Coaching Federation and am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
