Book Duncan for Your Next Event

Duncan Kirkwood is a top speaker in the self development arena. He has inspired audiences and organizations to become more purpose driven, resilient and mentally tough. To create change it takes a level of mental agility and a strong ability to “bounce back” in the face of adversity. This is true when trying to create change in one’s life or in the culture of an organization. As a motivational speaker, Duncan provides powerful messages and tangible tools to build strong resilience, self love, grit and an understanding of how to avoid thinking traps. Duncan regularly challenges audiences to stretch their thinking, defeat their ego and take ownership of their entire reality. As a motivational speaker, Duncan is available to keynote an event, facilitate a panel, or conduct multi-day training.
