Major Scotty Mills has led a life that he could never have dreamt of. From the backstreets of South London, he went on to serve his country and lead Britain’s Commandos around the globe as a Commando ‘Green Beret’ Officer. In 2003, operating alongside the US Navy Seals, he led a team of Marines into Iraq as ‘first on the ground’ theatre entry troops and has deployed on missions worldwide.
As Commanding Officer, Scotty led a team of recovery specialists who were responsible for rebuilding the lives of hundreds of battle-scarred, physically and mentally broken, injured service people across all 4 Armed Forces. A World Record breaker, he was selected as an Olympic Flag Bearer at the London 2012 Olympic Games. As Head of Performance for all 6500 Commandos, he has since worked closely alongside multiple elite teams who went on to win gold medals at Olympic, World Cup and European championships.
As an advisor to the FA, Scotty inspired Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane, and the England Football Team to develop their culture through innovative leadership and team cohesion training, which saw them come together and perform when the pressure was on. Known as “Gareth’s Secret Weapon,” a term coined by TV Presenter Lorraine Kelly, Scotty has built a strong international reputation for inspiring others to reach their full potential.
In 2018, he was voted the most inspirational serviceman across the entire Armed Forces community and received a National Award. Scotty’s incredibly compelling story is filled with exceptional stories of the power of human inspiration.
Now a global motivational speaker and performance leadership and culture specialist, Scotty is highly sought after across multiple industries to continue his life’s work of inspiring people and teams to achieve their impossible dreams.
