About Intrinsic Careers


Helping you navigate your career with clarity, confidence, and a compelling professional brand.

I'm Duncan Brand — a global talent & leadership development professional who has spent my career helping people grow, develop, and succeed.

I started Intrinsic Careers because I saw how many talented people were underselling themselves — not because they lacked skills, but because their resume, profile, and interview story weren’t telling the real story of their strengths.


My Approach

Your career is personal — and so is my work with you.
I bring:

  • Expertise in resume writing, coaching, and optimizing your LinkedIn profile
  • A clear understanding of what hiring teams look for
  • A coaching approach that strengthens confidence as much as skills
  • A passion for helping people take meaningful steps in their careers

Why Clients Choose Me

  • I help you find the language to describe your strengths
  • I create resumes and LinkedIn profiles that get real results
  • I coach you to interview with authenticity and impact
  • I make the job search feel clear, strategic, and less overwhelming

Let’s build your next step together.
