  • Successful failures. Why it is important to try first and, if you do fail, to learn from it, bounce back, and move forwards.
  • How to learn from failures the Royal Marines way.
  • ‘Train hard, fight easy’. Training evolutions explained.
  • The ‘Concept, Detail, Results, and Recommendations’ model.
