In this video, we explore valuable business insights derived from military practices. We look into the dynamics of assembling individuals from diverse backgrounds and the strategies for forging a successful collaborative environment. Additionally, we address the common tendency to hastily form judgments about people, highlighting instances where such individuals ultimately emerge as invaluable team members.

‘Nobody wants to know, it doesn’t matter, it’s too hard to talk about and I don’t want to talk about those times.’ Actually yes, people do want to know, it most certainly matters, and we have found when a sympathetic pair of ex-servicemen break the ice in the discussion with the veteran, they find they do want to talk – the process is cathartic for the veteran and liberating in the same way a counsellor releases a pent-up memory. It can help the veteran and their closest family members to talk in ways they previously been unable to find.
