Duncan Sutherland has been my coach through the Premiers Leadership Academy for the last 7 months. Immediately Duncan established a professional rapport with me and encouraged me to explore areas of my Leadership styles that had not been challenged before. I have had the opportunity in my career to have many coaches and this has been unique due to the experience and style of coaching Duncan offers. I would strongly recommend anyone who is has consistently applied tried and tested leadership and achieved results but has a desire to push their limits and explore the opportunities unknown, to engage with Duncan, as he will definitely open your mind to your broader capabilities.

Being coached by Duncan Sutherland was a very rewarding and worthwhile experience. I was guided to understand my own strengths and weaknesses and to recognise the strengths and weaknesses in those that I interact with on a daily basis.

Dr Roger Pillemer

The Commission Registrar arranged for me to have a number of sessions of executive coaching with Duncan Sutherland.

Duncan put an enormous amount of time and energy into our meetings, and not only time spent during our sessions, but also following up various issues that were discussed.

Carol Ashmore

Director, Come In Youth Resource Centre

I have worked with disadvantaged young people in Sydney for over 20 years. Two years ago I took over as the Director of an Inner city agency from the former Director who had been in the position since its beginning for 33 years, quite a task.

David Beharrell

Team Leader, Catchment Remediation, Hornsby Shire Council

Through Duncan's coaching and guidance I have developed effective and practical tools, which have greatly improved my supervisory skills. I can confidently say that since putting these skills into practice both myself and staff are reaping the rewards in terms of job satisfaction and certainty.

Carlo Tassone

General Manager, Finance and Business, Telstra

Duncan has been able to assist me this year in a way I have never experienced before. His ability to build trust and rapport as well as his ability to drive positive change into both my personal and professional life through listening, validating and pushing has made a marked difference in the way I plan, approach and execute.

Justin Fitzpatrick-Barr

Manager, Property Services, 
Marrickville Council

I recently completed a series of executive coaching sessions with Duncan Sutherland as part of a year-long sustainability leaders program. Duncan’s coaching has changed the way I process my inner thoughts and pre-conceived ideas. His coaching has allowed me to remove inhibitors that at times may have stifled my ability to influence.

Steve Longford

CEO, New Intelligence

I had never been interested in coaching or coaches until I met Duncan Sutherland – I have met many. As a strongly motivated and highly opinionated CEO I believed that I could deal with any issues around performance or development myself.
