Co-Founder and Director

I believe people are the wealth of an organisation and to improve that wealth organisations need to recognise develop everyone as a leader.Having reflected on my own life and leadership experiences, I’ve integrated both a mindfulness awareness and compassion motivation based approach to relationships with a thorough approach to achieving results.My business experience ranges from leading large scale infrastructure projects to leading strategic organisational change programmes. Since leaving the corporate world as Managing Director of Aberdeen Airport I’ve become an experienced leadership development coach and corporate facilitator.

As a professional leadership development coach (and owner of On Purpose Ltd) I’m extremely well placed to guide and enable leaders, teams and organisations to be great. I also give time to sharing my experience within the Business Mentoring Scotland Scheme, as a non-exec director of Grampian Housing Association and as a director of the Mindfulness Association Ltd. And am an honoury exec fellow within the University of Aberdeen’s business school.

Rob Nairn

Co-Founder

Rob Nairn is one of the world pioneers in presenting Buddhist philosophy and practice in a way that is accessible to the Western mind. In 1980 he resigned as professor of criminology at the University of Cape Town to commit full-time to his spiritual path. His training in psychology and Buddhism-including a four-year cloistered retreat at Samye Ling-enables him to translate ancient Eastern wisdom into concepts that we can understand and apply.

Rob Nairn has developed a unique secular training in mindfulness, which takes us on a step by step journey into a deepening experience of being present and accepting ourselves as we are. The training includes teachings in Western psychological language that provide a context for understanding what is happening in our minds as we practice and working with obstacles that arise.
