I Am Sandy
I am a former RAF Wing Commander and Qualified Operational Test Pilot with 29 years of leadership experience.
I bring a calm, structured, and grounded coaching style shaped by years of decision-making, communication, and responsibility in complex environments. I’ve taught leadership in aviation and in the outdoors, helping people build confidence, resilience, and clarity through real-world challenge.
I hold an MSc in Leadership & Management and an MA in International Relations, and I’m an experienced keynote speaker.
I spent 29 years making decisions and leading at the highest level on combat operations around the world. I know what the consequences of weak or toxic leadership are, and I can help you avoid those pitfalls and lead with confidence, clarity, and humanity.
