Immersive Decision-Making Training for Corporate Teams

Structured Special Forces-Led Decision-Making & Leadership Training

"Our seminar with Leo Walker and his team at UCL was both insightful and inspiring. Drawing from decades of frontline experience, he offered a compelling perspective on the interplay between UK agencies, conflict management, and humanitarian aid. The event was a unique opportunity for students to engage with real-world applications of security studies."

"Who Dares Group were brought back again to SharkNinja to deliver an innovative team-building half-day for our EMEA team. Their approach, blending Special Forces expertise with essential ‘soft’ skills, such as handling hostile confrontations and improving team dynamics in a fast-paced environment, is unmatched. They brought fresh, engaging approaches to handling pressure in the office and offered us new perspectives on planning processes. In some areas, they also reinforced the key messages and ethos our leadership have been promoting. A few of us even recognised a TV personality within their team, adding an extra layer of excitement to the experience!"

“We were delighted to work with Who Dares Group on the creation and delivery of our recent fundraising event supporting Diverse Abilities. Without WDG, the event would not have been the same and we are very grateful to Leo and his team for all of their hard work and perseverance to make the day a success”

“Who Dares Group’s training was transformative for our Shark-Ninja EMEA CSuite. The keynote and team-building exercises challenged and refined our strategic thinking and collaboration. Drawing from their Special Forces experience, the trainers delivered an engaging and ‘hands on’ session that has helped bring our team together and Leadership Principles to life. We left the training more united and equipped with practical strategies for effective leadership. Who Dares Group’s unique, experiential approach is commendable, and I highly recommend them for any organisation looking to elevate team performance.”

“Who Dares Group delivered an exceptional and completely bespoke day for Panerai that perfectly aligned with our brand’s heritage and identity. From planning to execution, the team was professional, polished, and a pleasure to work with.

From the opening keynote on Special Forces mindset to the immersive planning exercise and personal protection training, every element was executed to a high standard and deeply engaging. The show-stopping finale - an elite maritime demonstration aligned with our diving legacy - left a lasting impression and wowed every guest. The feedback from guests and internal teams has been overwhelmingly positive, all in all a world-class experience from a world-class team.”

"Who Dares Group were one of the highlights of our Summer Conference. They delivered a keynote presentation that was both thought-provoking and highly engaging, seamlessly integrating our organisational values so everyone in the 200-strong audience could see how to apply the learnings in their daily roles. The teamworking activity was especially memorable - it had something for everyone and perfectly demonstrated the power of collaboration in a fun, hands-on way. Their Special Forces perspective on mindset, accountability and resilience resonated deeply, helping us reflect on our strategic priorities and behaviours in an authentic and relatable way. We had fantastic feedback from across the function, and it was a pleasure working with such personable and accommodating professionals. A massive success and an experience we’d highly recommend."
