60 Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5HZ
Some of the world’s most valuable intelligence is never found in reports.
It’s hidden in conversations. Concealed in body language. Buried beneath carefully chosen words. Revealed only to those who know what they’re looking for.
For one evening only, The C-Suite invites a select group of guests behind closed doors for an extraordinary experience with former British intelligence operative Gavin Stone.
Drawing on more than two decades of experience working with the British Ministry of Defence, MI5, MI6 and allied intelligence agencies, Gavin will take guests inside the fascinating world of Human Intelligence (HUMINT), behavioural analysis, influence, deception detection and covert communication.
But the evening goes far beyond the world of espionage. Guests will explore the principles of human influence, military-grade mental resilience and the zero-fail mission mindset that enables elite operatives to remain calm, focused and effective when the pressure is at its highest.
But this isn’t about becoming a spy. It’s about learning how to think differently. How do intelligence officers establish trust with complete strangers?
How do they uncover what isn’t being said?
How do they identify deception?
How do they influence outcomes without appearing to?
How do they maintain clarity and composure when every decision matters?
And what can leaders, entrepreneurs, investors and ambitious professionals learn from the psychological tradecraft used by the world’s most elite intelligence agencies?
Throughout the evening, Gavin will share captivating stories, practical insights and real-world applications that can be used in business, leadership, negotiations, relationships and everyday life.
You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of human behaviour, sharper instincts and a completely new perspective on the conversations happening around you every day.
Some lessons are taught. Others are revealed. This evening promises both.
