Leadership Seminar

The Seminar on Leadership offers a distinctive learning experience.

What parallels can you draw from espionage and spying to good leadership you ask….well…you may find this surprising….but a lot.

In this seminar your team will be exposed to the real time leadership challenges of modern spycraft.

The world of espionage is all about working in effective teams under demanding conditions in challenging environments.

Patrick brings the benefit of 30 years of experience in this compelling and interactive seminar on Leadership Skills in the Modern Environment - How the Spies Do It.

This one hour seminar will introduce the audience to:

  • skills required to be an effective spy

  • challenges presented by operating covertly and still being an effective leader

  • how to inspire your team to be the best they can be.

But don’t expect to sit back and relax - this will be an interactive presentation and you will be given the opportunity to face some of the tests used by spies to check their skills.

This seminar provides your team with a unique opportunity and a completely new perspective when considering “What are the fundamental leadership skills I need to be effective?”

You will be shown how understanding the fundamental principles of espionage will equip your existing and emerging leaders with essential skills to foster collaboration and become more effective and adaptable leaders.

It provides a unique approach to leadership development that is useful, memorable and inspiring.

Resilience Seminar

The Seminar on Resilience offers a practical opportunity for participants to review and consider the techniques used by agents to remain composed and focused during challenging situations and events.

In this unique presentation, Patrick will openly and honestly present on some of the incredibly demanding and shocking incidents that he has faced in his 30+ operational years of experience.

The seminar on Resilience - Agent of Resilience: Navigating Life's Challenges Like a Spy - will introduce the audience to the practical measures taken by spies to make themselves more resilient before, during and after potentially overwhelming or difficult situations.

This one hour seminar will introduce the audience to how agents:

  • prepare and be resiliently strong

  • manage stress and adapt during the event

  • grow and learn from every event

  • build strong relationships.

This seminar provides your team with a unique opportunity and a completely new perspective when considering “How can I be more resilient?”

Spies are always challenging existing paradigms and have an unconventional approach. This same approach to dealing with challenging situations will assist the development of a resilience framework that allows your team to thrive.

“From infancy on we are all spies; the shame is not in this but that the secrets to be discovered from the art of spycraft are so many…and so poorly understood.”
