Hard-learned leadership lessons from both the military and the corporate world
"I’ll be honest when I say, not everyone is ‘good people’.
It is very hard to find good people, and it is important to support them when we do."
- David Neal | CEO, The Eighth Mile
Our mission is to help organisations improve their people, processes, product and profile.
We practice what we preach. Our work is shaped by operational experience in both the military and business, where leadership is tested under pressure. We help organisations translate leadership principles into practical behaviours that improve how teams think, decide, and act.

8-week programs available at two levels: tactical & operational.
Tailored workshops to strengthen strategic thinking.
Off-site retreats to align leaders and improve cohesion.
Rebuilding ownership, judgement & direction toward better things.
Self-paced courses blending lessons from military & business.
Enhance leadership effectiveness & work through confidential challenges 1-to-1.
NEW CRISIS READINESS GROUP (CRG)
CRG is a team of former military leaders who work shoulder to shoulder with executives that recognise the operating environment ahead is volatile, complex and ambiguous. CRG is for those who understand that difficult periods are not something to react to when they arrive.
Disciplined Preparation.
It's about trying to write yourself out of a job by empowering others to take over and head towards success.
Our offsite leadership training serves three objectives:
1. Align Decision-Making Across the Organisation:
Set the stage for seamless collaboration and alignment, from strategic to operational and tactical.
2. Create a Cohesive Team Through Shared Values:
Your values act as the glue that binds your team together, fostering a culture of trust, support, and active engagement.
3. Make Room for Team Bonding and Growth:
Allocate time for collective experiences, reward collaborative behaviour, and strengthen bonds to build trust within the group.
