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. 

Duncan’s presentations push audiences to fight through their conditioning and negative thinking patterns to fully embrace the greatness within. As a former military officer Duncan was tasked with training Soldiers to be become more mentally tough to combat Veteran Suicide. Duncan has taken that training and transformed it into information that everyone from the VP of a company to a high school student can digest. Duncan would be the best speaker option if you are looking for a Veteran speaker, a corporate speaker, a conference speaker, a graduation speaker, or a DEI trainer. Everyone can learn to become more focused and more resilient. 
​

​Duncan’s presentations can be tailored to meet the needs of an individual organization or audience. Duncan has a great ability to blend real resilience skills with the objectives of your organization or company.
