Top  Keynote Speeches

Decision making under pressure:

Ever felt paralysed at the thought of making a decision, or breathless at the consequence of getting a decision wrong. Tim shares the tricks and training used by British Army Intelligence Officer’s to make decisions under pressure when the consequences could be the difference between life and death.

Influencing Outcomes:

You are about to meet a dangerous stranger and need to win their trust and influence their behaviour. Get it right, you dictate the outcome of the meeting and obtain the critical information you need. Get it wrong, they may kill you. Tim exposes the techniques used to build rapport, reassurance and trust and how this translates into corporate life and creating an environment in which people and teams can thrive and develop.

No change, No Oppportunity :

Working in intelligence, if there is no change in circumstances or values there is no opportunity. As an Intelligence Officer, Tim actively sought and created changing circumstances, and explains how rather than fearing change, it should be welcomed (by teams and individuals) as an opportunity to adapt, enhance and gain a competitive advantage.

Resilience:

Imagine performing mental agility tests having been kept awake for two days or being asked to go for a run with no end in sight. Selection to be a Covert Intelligence Officer is designed to test your mental and physical resilience to a level few can imagine. Tim explores and teaches the secrets of how to build resilience, along with the tricks that enable individuals to keep going when all seems lost.
