You live in information saturation.
Countless emails a day. Notifications. Conversations. Meetings.
For every decision the right information is out there. But it’s often buried.
Cutting through that noise to focus on what matters is a constant battle.
It's exhausting and overwhelming.
So key information gets lost. Opportunities missed.
People feel like their voices are not heard.
Up till now, you have relied on talent and hard work to cope.
But the best leaders & teams rely on something else.

The Solution
Military leaders deal with information saturation differently.
They target a fundamental but overlooked element of decision making:
How information is delivered. They call it the briefing process.
It’s what allows their team to know they will be heard.
It’s what allows leaders to take control, cut through the noise and focus on what matters.
It’s more than presenting well on paper or in person.
It’s about putting yourself in the leaders shoes, asking and answering difficult questions, and being ruthless about prioritising the information you put in front of them.
Whether it’s a 2 minute conversation or an hour long briefing, the Briefing Course will give you the skill and confidence to make every opportunity count.

Ben Timpson
The Briefing Course Leader
Hi, I’m Ben. I spent 13 years in the armed forces as an advisor to Admirals and Generals around the world.
During that time I served as Spokesperson for EU forces in Bosnia & Herzegovina and led high-profile diplomatic projects in the Middle East and Latin America.
I spent my career turning complex topics into concise, effective briefs for leaders under immense pressure to make the right call. I now share my experience through consultancy and training that brings the techniques I used to the commercial sector.
I hold an MA in Strategic Communications from Kings College London and won the 2024 Cicero World Speechwriting Award.

Recent Testimonials
'That was outstanding – I liked it a lot – and more importantly so did the team. One quote from someone who’s been here 4 years was that was the best course he’d ever had! In one hour, you achieved more than some other ventures we’ve pursued have achieved in months. I'd recommend it to any organisation looking to level up their communication'
'(The Briefing Course) approach not only focused the discussion on decision-critical items but also reduced unnecessary noise. As a result, we saved significant time across all stakeholder groups and improved the quality of executive decisions'
‘I can highly recommend The Briefing Course. It made an immediate impact on the way we communicate as a function - ensuring key messages and decisions are clearly defined and highlighted early to senior management. In the specialty insurance market we are required to regularly distil complex topics in a way others can easily understand. Ben was invaluable in demonstrating techniques to achieve this in a simple and structured manner’
‘Excellent and unmissable training for anyone who briefs decision makers or writes reports’
‘I would thoroughly recommend Ben and the course. It was incredibly useful, engaging and thought-provoking, and the learnings and content will have a positive impact on how communication develops throughout the business. Thank you!’
‘I would highly recommend working with Ben to move to ultra effective communications. Ben presents an ultra effective communication process that reverses the more cumbersome 'demonstrate that you did extensive research; bring the reader or meeting attendees along that journey; and then get to the key conclusion(s) or ask for guidance' format that is a burden to most businesses. ’
‘I found the session with Ben incredibly helpful — focused, reassuring, and tailored to exactly what I needed. Ben quickly grasped the context and offered practical advice that boosted my confidence in preparing briefings for others. His calm, encouraging approach has made a real difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.’
