Duncan Piper-Blake

~ INTRODUCTION ~
Hello. I’m Duncan. I’m an executive coach and qualified therapist. I partner with organisations to support their senior leaders when performance and relationships come under strain, and to build coaching-led cultures that strengthen team leadership. My work spans both corporate environments and family-owned businesses, grounded in executive experience and deep psychological training.

~ SPECIALISM ~
Coaching for Leaders Under Pressure: Helping organisations retain the people they cannot afford to lose.
I partner with HR and People teams to support senior executives experiencing burnout, relational strain and overwhelm. This is coaching, not therapy, but it is underpinned by a depth of psychological training most coaches do not have. Combined with my experience as a senior executive in a global business, I offer a level of understanding, challenge, and safety that supports your most valuable people, strengthens their leadership and helps retain the talent your organisation depends on.

~ BACKGROUND ~
Prior to focusing on coaching, I was a 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 co-founded a leadership development company delivering corporate and educational programmes to organisations 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.

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.
