Who Dares Group

Most team building events are forgotten by the following month.

Black Onyx was built to change that.

After leaving the Special Forces, Leo created an immersive leadership experience that businesses simply couldn’t find anywhere else. Not an obstacle course. Not a motivational talk.
A real-world environment where teams are challenged to communicate, lead, adapt and make decisions under pressure.

Built using lessons from elite military operations, Black Onyx develops the skills that matter most in business: leadership, decision-making, communication, resilience, trust, teamwork and performance under pressure.

If you’re looking for a corporate team building experience, leadership development programme, executive team training, or an immersive business leadership experience,
and one that creates lasting change, not just a good day out, Black Onyx delivers exactly that.

Leadership. Resilience. Teamwork.
For teams that take performance seriously.

When everything around you feels chaotic, that’s when calm matters most.

In the Special Forces, staying calm under pressure isn’t a personality trait—it’s a skill that’s built through training.

It’s the same principle we bring into our leadership and team development programmes. Because better decisions, stronger communication and effective leadership all start with composure under pressure.

Most people think Who Dares Group started with a business plan.
It didn’t.

When Leo left the Special Forces, starting a corporate leadership training company wasn’t the plan. But after seeing the lack of leadership development, resilience training and team performance programmes in the corporate world, he saw an opportunity to do things differently.

The skills that build high-performing teams aren’t exclusive to the military. They can transform businesses too.

That’s why Who Dares Group exists.

Dreams are only achievable for those brave enough to pursue them.

Nims epitomised this.

Nims Dai - rest in peace.

You were our fellow Frogman - a proud Gurkha who became a mountain god, a world-record holder, a father and a husband.

Your life was filled with struggle and people telling you that you couldn’t achieve your dreams. Every single time, you proved that the strength of the human mind and spirit can overcome almost anything.

We knew you as a young, happy-go-lucky operator in Poole - breaking boundaries above, below and on the water as the first Gurkha to make it into the SBS.

You then went on to conquer almost every known limit in mountaineering and inspired millions of people around the world.

You truly showed us, and will continue to show the world, that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Rest in everlasting peace, brother. You achieved more than most could accomplish in many lifetimes.

Thank you for everything you gave to the world.

You have left a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Burnout remains one of the biggest challenges facing the superyacht industry.

Long hours, high expectations and constant pressure can take their toll, yet many crew members are never given the tools or coping strategies to manage it effectively.

That's why we place such a strong focus on resilience, performance under pressure and wellbeing throughout our superyacht training programmes.

Leadership. Resilience. Teamwork.
