Wing Commander John Anthony Broadbent, Royal Air Force; Officer Commanding, No.XV Squadron and the Muharraq Tornado GR1 Detachment. With our visionary leadership courses and development programmes, we’ll delve into dreams, passions and an untapped pool of potential beyond your wildest imagination. Since 2008 when he left Army life, he has been using the techniques he learned from being in the toughest physical and mental environments to teach motivation, leadership and team cohesion to businesses including the likes of BT and Marks & Spencer, governments, sports teams and police forces around the world. Having leaders at every level is the key to elite performance in a business. Some people are born leaders, but those who aren’t can still realise their leadership potential. There’s a particular approach that I take to leadership training that has worked in every arena I’ve been involved in – the military, technology, education and elite sports – and the principles are very simple.

Trooper Anthony Cyril James Nicholls, Special Air Service. Awarded 29 June 1991, gazetted as Private, Parachute Regiment in 1997. [16] Chantal Dean, director of education for the Foundation, and assistant head of Pewsey Vale School in Wiltshire said: "It’s so important for us as teachers and parents in the community to inspire our children and encourage them to strive for greatness. I knew that with Compass for Life, it would change the way they see things. It’s about seeing the children as whole people and challenging them to think about what they want to do. Compass for Life challenges students and gives them a way of learning that totally puts the power in their own hands and encourages them to connect the dots between what they’re learning and why it’s important to ensure they fulfil their ambitions and plans. Some of our children have gone from being disengaged in their learning to incredibly enthusiastic, not only able to identify what they want to do, but why they want to do it."Acting Major Nicholas Roy Davies, Special Air Service.

Group Captain Geoffrey Dennis Simpson, Royal Air Force; Officer Commanding, No. 101 Squadron RAF and RAF Detachment, King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh So Floyd has come in and run a programme and it’s about being really aspirational both on and off the pitch, because the statistics aren’t great in terms of the number of these lads who, even at scholar age, are going to become Premier League footballers or even have a lengthy professional career. For me, coaching and development and getting people to perform at the highest levels was significant, because obviously, it matters quite significantly when you’re in the Special Air Service that people are trained to the appropriate levels. And more importantly, that training is ceaseless. So that pursuit of excellence is one of the tenets of the Special Air Service.”
