CORPORATE SERVICES

Deployed continuously for over three months in a hostile, non-permissive environment—and often under direct enemy contact—Matt Lane brings exceptional operational authenticity to leadership. Drawing on his experience from the longest desert patrol since the Second World War, Matt explores the leadership dynamics that sustained his team and directly shaped their success.

Delivered with humility, honesty and emotional clarity, Matt shares the pressures, decisions and coping strategies that enabled ordinary soldiers to endure extraordinary adversity. His insights translate powerfully into modern business, offering leaders and teams tools they can use immediately.

Core Themes include:

• Building a positive, aligned culture — shaping expectations, behaviours and shared purpose

• Developing task and social cohesion — creating unity, trust and collective resilience

• Training and development — building competence, reliability and confidence under pressure

• Psychological and emotional contract — sustaining trust, fairness and loyalty in demanding environments

• Mental resilience — managing stress, uncertainty and prolonged operational pressure

• Decision-making under adversity — clarity, judgement and composure when stakes are high

• Delegation with impact — empowering teams while maintaining control and accountability

Matt’s keynote is compelling, practical and deeply human. Audiences leave with a clear framework for leading teams through uncertainty, pressure and change.
