Rory Underwood, Leaders Expert, Owner/Director Wingman Performance Consultant

About Rory & Wingman

Wingman are uniquely placed to really understand the dynamics at play in successful teams. Can you think of anywhere where team performance is more intrinsically linked to achieving success, than in elite sport and the military?

Well, Rory has a 12 year background in elite sport including playing International rugby for England and the Lions and 18 years flying fast jets in the RAF. This results in an unprecedented view and understanding of what great teams can achieve, and what it takes to build environments where that success and the team’s ability to perform under pressure, is the norm.

Couple that with the whole Wingman team’s experience of successfully applying that learning in multiple businesses, across many different sectors over the past 20 years and you have a very powerful ally to help you deal with the challenges ahead.

As a team we’ve often found that businesses assume that teamwork will just happen. The truth is, the journey to get everyone to work together is far more challenging. In the elite sport and the military they spend 90% of the time training and 10% doing. In business it’s usually the other way around. But, with Wingman’s know-how, support and guidance you’ll be able to release the full potential of your individuals, teams and ultimately empower the whole organisation. The result being, you’ll be more effective and will have reduced the drag in your business’s performance, meaning that success will come far more easily in the future.

Relationships are really important to us and our approach epitomises the team ethos. We’ll partner with you, get to really understand the challenges you face and what makes your business tick. We’ll equip you with all the tailored tools and solutions needed to build your own, sustainable high-performance environment and be there to support you every step of the way.
