We may not have the same corporate background as you - but that’s exactly why our clients love working with us. Duratus coaches offer a fresh and objective perspective on the challenges you face. Our former careers have furnished us with insights, principles, and strategies for coping - and thriving - under intense pressure.

Investing in an independent coach or mentor also gives you complete freedom to be honest about your challenges and weaknesses without feeling vulnerable to what you say being exposed to your peers.

All personnel in the UKSF have signed the Official Secrets Act. We will never exploit that trust by sharing operation details. That is not our focus. Instead, we concentrate on what our experiences taught us about how we cope and think during the hardest and darkest of times. It’s the principles and strategies that we forged under those circumstances that we will share with you.
