Our Latest Reviews

UCL logo

"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."

Lecturer, University College London

SharkNinja Logo

"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!"
