It wasn't a difficult decision to make, but adjusting was. "To see the company discussing something and making decisions without telling me was very hard and then I had to shape a new role." She is now focused on sustaining a culture so that people are happy and clients get the best services.

Donna before JMMB

A career in the financial world wasn't always what Duncan Scott had in mind. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, in Trinidad. "I went on a government scholarship as my parents couldn't afford tuition on their own as it was five of us. Engineering attracted me because I could get a scholarship and I didn't want to do medicine or teach."

It was while at university that she began the healing process after being sexually abused as a child. "I love telling people about it to let them know they can get over it," she told Flair. "I was very, very reserved with very low self esteem. I wasn't happy.

"It was then that I began coming out of my shell; it was a very important experience. I began talking about what happened and to explore that part of me."

Landmark Forum

At a Landmark Forum in 2001, Duncan-Scott completed the healing process. The Landmark Forum is an intense personal transformation seminar, during which participants are provided with the tools to live in a new vision for their lives. "A lightbulb went off and I saw that I was living in the belief that I was unworthy of having a healthy relationship," she explained.

After the seminar, she broke away for the third time from a very unhealthy relationship she had been involved in for five years.

"I met my husband through friends who were trying to set us up but I kept telling them I was in a relationship and they kept saying, 'yeah, one that isn't good for you'. So, after the third break-up, I called him (Alwyn) up and said, 'let's go have a drink', and it was great. And then he tells me he had started dating someone three weeks ago. I said, 'when you are ready, give me a call; this thing has potential'. A few weeks later, he called and said, I'm ready to face life'. I didn't know what that meant but I was ready too. We had common values and everything."

Donna's Vision

With a very successful organisation that now has associated companies in Trinidad and Tobago, St Lucia, Barbados and The Dominican Republic, Duncan-Scott can now spread her wings.

"I would like to set up an organisation focusing on helping Jamaica to let go of the limiting beliefs that we have.
