Tim Peake
Transform leadership and inspire innovation with Tim Peake, speaker and astronaut. Tim works with organisations to deliver powerful insights on resilience, high-performance teamwork and STEM education, drawing from his groundbreaking International Space Station mission and military expertise.
Tim Peake is one of Britain's most decorated modern explorers, a former Army officer and test pilot who became the first British astronaut to live and work aboard the International Space Station.
Selected from more than 8,000 applicants, he spent six months on the European Space Agency's Principia mission, completing a spacewalk and taking part in over 250 scientific experiments. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George for services to space research and education, and remains an ambassador for the Scouts.
Tim brings audiences a rare, first-hand account of leadership under extreme pressure: isolation, the constant threat of space debris, fire, and medical emergency, and the split-second decision making a spacewalk demands. His military background in combat search and rescue and high-risk flight testing adds a second layer of insight into performing when conditions are unclear and the stakes are absolute.
With warmth and humour, Tim shares what six months orbiting Earth taught him about trust, communication, and staying focused when setbacks hit. Audiences leave with practical tools for leading distributed teams, improving judgement under uncertainty, and building the kind of resilience that holds up when it matters most.
Book Tim Peake to give your organisation a first-hand lesson in leadership, teamwork, and performing at the edge of possibility.
Topics, sessions and talks
Tim Peake's training as an Army officer, test pilot, and astronaut gave him a rare insight into achieving mission success while managing risk and uncertainty. Drawing on his six months aboard the International Space Station, he shares vivid stories, striking photographs, and a distinctive view of planet Earth. Delivered with warmth and humour, the session offers more than a recipe for thriving in extreme environments; it reframes how audiences think about resilience, perspective, and what matters most in their own lives.
In 2016, Tim Peake returned from a six-month mission to the International Space Station, one of the most demanding environments to live and work in. He unpacks what it takes to manage extreme isolation, the threat of space debris, fire, or medical emergency, and the rigours of a spacewalk: leadership, clear communication, and the ability to function as an effective team while working remotely. Audiences leave with a keener sense of what accountability looks like when the margin for error is zero.
Tim offers your team inspiration from a real-life astronaut. His unique experiences, from high-pressure military roles to space exploration, provide powerful lessons in resilience, innovation, and teamwork. Elevate your team's ambition and drive, learning from someone who's truly pushed the boundaries of what's possible.
