Sandstone's trainers come from high-performance backgrounds - including military, security, emergency services and C-suite/Board-level commercial environments.
They've operated under pressure, not just studied it, so their teaching carries credibility, providing:
- Real world relevance
- High trust from participants
- Practical, field-tested insights rather than academic theory.
Training built around decision making under pressure
Unlike many providers Sandstone emphasises operating in uncertainty - how people think, react, and communicate when pressure and stakes are high.
This provides:
- Tools for clear thinking under stress
- Methods to manage cognitive load
- Communication models designed for critical moments.
Sandstone uses scenarios drawn from real events. Training therefore feels immersive, engaging and memorable, which significantly increases retention and facilitates behavioural change.
Critical communication
Many training companies offer generic communication skills. Sandstone's niche is the communication that matters when:
- Time is short
- Pressure is high
- Risk is real
- Team members must act together.
