Andrew Austin has held a long and distinguished career in the military, business, and executive search and is one of the world’s leading experts in Personal DNA profiling.

Children of school/university age today, get very little to no help in identifying what careers they should follow. Very few youngsters even know what is best for themselves.
More and more of Dobson Lyle’s work in helping youngsters of 15+ make an informed and objective decision as to their education/career choices.
Physically and technically there is very little difference between top performers in any sport. What takes an individual to the pinnacle of their game is ultimately down to application and control of temperament. Personal DNA profiling identifies a set of largely neurologically hard wired drivers of behaviour that are not attainable by any other means. The identification and utilisation of this data will add a fresh perspective to coaching and management and take the psychology of sport to a whole new level.
At no time in the history of corporate life has the human capital element been so important and to have the right person, in the right job, at the right time has never been more crucial than it is today.
Most people only understand themselves at a conscious level. Our profiling gives individuals a unique insight into who they really are and identifies the personal drivers that ultimately leads to success.
His work in the corporate world goes from profiling and mentoring top 100 CEOs and senior executives to objective board evaluations, the profiling and restructuring of whole management teams, conflict resolution, general performance improvements and recruitment.
Andrew lead a successful military career not only as a helicopter pilot in the RAF but also as an Army Officer, completing operational tours in Northern Ireland and Central America. Upon leaving the Forces he spent his formative years in corporate life as an agent of change working alongside some of the most respected leaders in industry (Sir Christopher Hogg, Richard Lapthorne, Archie Norman and Allan Leighton).
He held senior management positions internationally spanning many functions and industries (Mars Inc., Courtaulds and Asda). In 1994 he joined one of the world’s leading executive search companies, Heidrick & Struggles where he spent seven years as a Senior Partner placing executives across the board in FTSE 100 and 250 companies.
He took early retirement in 2001 having been one of the highest earning consultants in the industry. Follow a period of living in the South of France he came back to the UK and set up DL Consulting, an organisation that specialises in Personal DNA Profiling.
"Self Awareness is one of the greatest and most productive assets that we can possess as human beings. Most people only understand themselves at the surface level. The process of DNA profiling unlocks what is in the subconscious (pre-disposition or neurologically hard-wired) that makes us a unique human being - the understanding of this hidden data, if utilised correctly, can transform lives."
