Testimonials
Our work speaks for itself
but the people we’ve worked with say it best.
The experiences we deliver are designed to challenge, develop, and leave a lasting impression. Every programme is built with purpose, and the feedback we receive reflects the value people take away from each session. Whether it involves pressure, performance, or perspective, what happens during a Who Dares Group experience is often difficult to put into words, but those who take part usually find a way.
This page shares a selection of honest feedback from individuals and teams who have taken part in our training. These testimonials are not just endorsements, they are reflections of what it feels like to be tested, supported, and guided through something very few people experience. Their words offer a genuine glimpse into what we do and how we do it.
“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!”
Klaartje Millington-Vest, SharkNinja, Director Internal Communications
“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”
Lottie Forte, J.P Morgan, Community Engagement Lead
“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.”
Dr. Duygu Ozaltin, Lecturer, University College London
“The transformation we’ve seen in our crew’s synergy and confidence post-training is noteworthy. I’d highly recommend WDG’s superyacht crew training programme to anyone seeking to elevate their team’s capabilities and unity.”
