Turn Strategy Into Action.
Our Practical Application sessions are where leadership development meets lived experience. Command Tasks test behaviour under pressure; PlanX challenges teams to plan and adapt at tempo; StratNav turns learning into executable strategy; Immersive Leadership Experience. Together, they close the loop between theory and performance.
Command Tasks: Lead Under Pressure.

PlanX: Strategic Leadership Under Pressure.
PlanX is an indoor, high-pressure strategic planning simulation based on elite military decision-making frameworks. Teams operate inside a staged operations room, receiving mission briefs, live updates, constraints, and scenario changes that react to how they perform.
There is no fixed storyline — the narrative adapts to the team’s communication, decisions, and coordination, making every PlanX experience unique.
Key development areas:
-
Structured thinking under pressure
-
Clear, concise communication
-
Team coordination and role clarity
-
Planning and reprioritising under time constraints
-
Adapting plans as information changes
-
Maintaining composure under scrutiny
Delivery options:

Indoor, classroom-based format

Half-day or full-day sessions

Can be run at your venue or a dedicated venue we provide

Standalone experience or combined with other Practical Application tools
Immersive Leadership: Leadership capability is not built in classrooms alone.
The Immersive Leadership Experience is a premium, multi-day leadership environment designed to take teams out of theory and into real conditions — where leadership behaviours are revealed, tested, and developed.
Set in remote locations (often mountains or rural bases), leaders build practical skills and then apply them under increasing pressure through team challenges, navigation and route planning, decision-making scenarios, and structured reflection. The result is fast trust-building, clearer leadership under pressure, and insight that translates back into day-to-day performance.
What it develops:
-
Leadership presence and composure under pressure
-
Trust, accountability, and team cohesion
-
Decision-making, communication, and adaptability
-
Real-world problem solving and shared ownership
How it works:
-
Skills are introduced and practised (Exposure)
-
Teams apply them in live challenges (Application)
-
Structured review locks in learning (Reflection)
Delivered as a standalone experience or as a capstone within a wider leadership journey.
Bridging Learning and Performance.
Command Tasks, PlanX and StratNav form the practical arm of our leadership ecosystem. They embed the C8 principles — from clarity and trust to execution and reflection — ensuring every leader leaves with habits they can apply the next day.
Why Be Fearsome Leadership.
Be Fearsome Leadership develops resilient, adaptive, high-performing leaders who stay composed under pressure and deliver consistently — without burning out.
Founded by Tom Frearson, former Royal Marines Commando and hostile-environment team leader, our work blends real-world operational experience with coaching science and wellbeing. We don’t just talk about leadership under pressure — we’ve lived it.
Our Practical Application experiences — Command Tasks, PlanX and StratNav — are built to give leaders realistic pressure, clear feedback, and practical tools they can use the very next day. We help teams move from theory to behaviour, and from good intentions to consistent performance.
