🚨🤔🦾What are your strengths?
“Steve, I bought your interview success guide up against the clock, in a very specialised role with limited time to prepare for my board. To be honest I’d left it very late to prep as I was not confident I’d be successful at application stage due to my role in the covert arena.. This morning I was told I was successful. Thank you for putting such a detailed informative package together. It enabled me to IDENTIFY MY STRENGTHS & also how to make my evidence fit to prepare top scoring answers.
Thank you for helping me pass my Sgts board" - Alex

In 1893 a Norwegian scientist deliberately froze his ship into the Arctic ice, let it drift for three years, and lost not a single man to scurvy or anything else. Then he walked off it and spent nine months in a hole in the ground eating bear.
Fridtjof Nansen was thirty-two, a zoologist with a doctorate on the nervous system of a worm. His theory was that the polar current would carry a ship across the top of the world if the ship was built not to be crushed. He built one. He called it the Fram, took twelve men, and sailed into the pack.
For three years they lived in the dark and the cold with no fresh food arriving from anywhere. On every previous expedition that had meant scurvy, the disease that had killed more sailors than the sea. Nansen's crew had none. They shot polar bear and seal, and ate the meat fresh and barely cooked, as the Inuit did. The doctor on board had almost nothing to do.
In 1895 Nansen and one companion left the ship on skis to make for the Pole. They got further north than any human had been, turned back, and were caught by winter on an empty island. They built a hut of stones and walrus hide, and for nine months they ate bear meat and walrus blubber and nothing else. No vegetable, no grain, no fruit. They came out in the spring fatter than they went in.
Then they walked home.
Nansen went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and lived to 68.
Every schoolchild is taught that a diet without vegetables will rot you from the inside. Two men spent a winter underground on nothing but fat and meat and came out fit to walk across the Arctic, and that was 130 years ago.

🎉 "I passed my SGT board! Thank you for creating great content, which helped me prepare & feel really confident on the day. I used your podcasts whilst walking & driving for about 6 months before, I found them really motivating & inspiring, the ideas & perspectives e.g. of the different chief officers you have interviewed, really helped me to think differently about leadership & what it means. Thanks"- Rachel 🎯
🎉 "Hi Steve, Wanted to reach out & thank you for the excellent support & strategies for promotion in your videos & resources. I bought your bundle in the run up to my first Sergeant promotion board, listened to the 6hr promotion masterclass video several times (even whilst out for runs!) & your content really stuck. In the board, I felt calm & structured - scoring 28/30 marks & a message from the DCI on the panel congratulating me for an excellent interview. Thank you"- Will 🎯
"Hi Steve, We haven't spoken before but I downloaded your toolkit & listened to your podcast on my 2 hour round trip commute. I had my SGT promotion board a few weeks ago..,just heard back from my Ch/Supt I passed. I really feel you were a very large part of it. Thank you" - Cal” 🎯

🎉“Hi Steve, I used your products for my SGT promotion. They were a godsend. Due to this I recently purchased your Inspector guide. Thanks” - Sam 🎯
🎉"Evening Steve, I just wanted to get in touch to offer my positive feedback following a successful promotion board to SGT. I applied externally to another force (X) as mine (X) was not/had not conducted a board for 12 months..I used your podcasts (subscription) for commuting, running, gym, whilst getting baby to sleep & any chance I got because with young kids I didn’t have much downtime. I found these the biggest help to my learning. They gave me the background knowledge for so many topics & good advice surrounding what to research further. I ended up creating my own acronym after learning a few of yours off by heart & my panel specifically commented on how much they liked it in the feedback. I wanted to pass on my praise, specifically for the podcast & range of topics covered.
I also downloaded your toolkit, which I found an additional help to solidify previous learning. I passed my board 1st time, externally with another force which made it more difficult & did so feeling confident. I quite enjoyed delivering the presentation using the rule of 3s & found the interview flew by. Thanks again”- Kev 🎯
