Speaking / Events / Podcasts

Bring experience
into the room.

Conversations about pressure, awareness and human behaviour, grounded in a career protecting, training and leading people when the consequences were real.

For your conference, corporate event or podcast, we start with your audience and what you want them to take away.

  • Keynotes
  • Corporate events
  • Panel discussions
  • Podcasts & interviews

Tell me about your audience, preferred topic, date, location or format, and budget.

Topics we can explore

Decision making under pressure

What pressure does to attention, communication and judgement. Lessons from protection and operational leadership.

Presence over paranoia

Developing awareness without living on edge. Noticing what matters and making considered decisions about personal safety.

The human side of protection

Understanding people, adapting to changing circumstances and recognising when a familiar approach no longer fits.

Training & strategic advisory

Prepare your people.
Test their thinking.

Work shaped around your people, their environment and the decisions they need to make. Start with the challenge, then agree on the scope.

Training & workshops

Personal security, situational awareness and professional protection. Sessions built around the situations your people encounter.

Scenarios & exercises

Facilitated discussions and practical scenarios to examine decisions, communication and responses before an incident tests them.

Strategic advisory

Support with protective practice, training design and capability development. A focused response to the problem you need to solve.
