His expertise in mindset, cognitive performance, and mitigating burnout provides the foundation for immersive courses that bridge the gap between the corporate world and the high-performing athlete.
Gareth delivers programmes that inspire trust, accountability, and human optimisation, equipping professional leaders, teams and organisations to achieve sustainablesuccess.
Gareth’s journey began with the Royal Marines, where he documented the gruelling thirty-four-week Commando training in a diary that inspired his first book, Becoming the 0.1%. This work fuses military discipline with psychological principles to guide readers in developing an elite mindset to achieve sustained peak performance. His second book, The 0.1% Academy, expands on these lessons with strategies for thriving in high-pressure environments.
My mission at The Halcyon Club is to provide professionals and organisations with immersive, research-backed programmes that foster trust, build accountability, and inspire sustained excellence.
Gareth’s approach is informed by his academic foundation in forensic psychology and ongoing PhD research at the University of Surrey, where he explores the use of Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance decision-making in high-stress scenarios. His operational experience includes serving in Somalia during the one of the largest pirate attacks in recent history and leading security operations for the US Department of Defence in Afghanistan, demonstrating his ability to navigate complexity and risk to achieve targeted outcomes.
His previous collaborations with clients such as KIA Motors and Leeds Rhinos highlight his innovative strategies for enhancing team performance and resilience.
By bridging the gap between elite performance and corporate environments, Gareth equips teams to excel in today’s demanding professional landscape.
