A Masters graduate with a degree in Defence Studies from King’s College London, Gary Wakefield retired from the Royal Navy following 21 years service in 2001. During his military career he trained as a Naval aviator and as a Seaman Officer and gained experience in training helicopter flying to ab initio naval pilots. He held various command and executive appointments throughout his career including serving as Head of Leadership Training at Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth. Whilst at Dartmouth he was pivotal in the training of all New Entry Young Officers in leadership skills as well as the introduction of private venture leadership training to the College. Since leaving the service Gary Wakefield has been actively involved in delivering leadership training to many of Mission Performance’s blue chip clients, namely; BT, Cap Gemini, RBS, and UBS. This has involved facilitating workshops in leadership, communication and presentation techniques together with water based practical leadership training and Training Needs Analysis. Gary is qualified to deliver the SDI Relationship Awareness Tool. When not conducting management training Gary flies jet aircraft and works as a Project Manger for a leading British aerospace company. Using his experience of leading and working in small teams, both on the ground and in the air, Gary has also specialised in delivering Crew Resource Management training to his own company and the Royal Navy. When aircrew working in a multi crew, multi discipline environment fail to perform as an effective team the result can be both catastrophic and often spectacular. In order to improve this aspect of flight safety the UK Civil Aviation Authority has now introduced well defined Human Factors training. Gary is a CAA accredited examiner in this field. “Good Exercise allowing reminders of management/leadership issues.
