Biography

Tim Bradshaw is a former Intelligence Officer and graduate of Sandhurst. His work as a Covert Human Intelligence Officer saw him recruit, run and build relationships with foreign agents worldwide. Often creating influence and effecting the outcome of extremely sensitive and dangerous situations. Tim founded, and is a director of Sandstone Communications, an international leadership and team building consultancy. He is Chief Executive Officer of the Sandstone Foundation delivering resilience workshops to schools and young people.

Tim’s experience and understanding of creating influence, building resilience and leadership forms the basis of the work he carries out with clients and audiences worldwide.

Tim Bradshaw explores why leaders and teams are so often misguided by prioritising perception over reality. Too often processes override outcomes and decisions are left to one or two individuals. A fear of failure, and its repercussions means people avoid being associated with those decisions instead of being a part of them. Truly high performance teams need to be inspired to succeed rather than afraid to fail.

Combining the inspirational with the practical, Tim explores the common mistakes and important lessons in creating influence and resilience within teams and clients. It starts with Intelligence not information!

Recent clients of Tim’s include Netflix, Fujifilm Europe, Hitachi, E1 Electric Race Series, Deloitte, Knight Frank, Brewin Dolphin and Aegis of London.
