Scotty Mills has led a life that he could never have dreamt of. From the backstreets of South London, he went onto 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 all around the world.
As Commanding Officer, he led a multi-disciplinary team of recovery specialists who were responsible for rebuilding the lives of hundreds of battle-scarred physically injured and mentally broken servicemen and women 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 went on to work closely alongside multiple elite teams including European Champions, Olympic Gold Medallists and World Cup Winners.
As an advisor to the FA, he inspired Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane and the England Football Team to develop their culture through innovative leadership and team cohesion training that saw them come together and perform when the pressure was on.
Known as “Gareth’s Secret Weapon”, a term coined by the renowned TV Presenter Lorraine Kelly, Scotty has built up a very strong reputation internationally for being able to inspire others to reach their full potential. In 2018 he was voted the most inspirational serviceman across the entire Armed Forces community receiving a National Award.
Scotty’s incredibly compelling story is filled with exceptional stories of the power of human inspiration. Now an accomplished world-wide motivational speaker, and as a performance leadership and culture specialist, Scotty is highly sought after by hundreds of global brands and industries to continue his life’s work to ‘Inspire People and Teams’ to achieve their impossible dreams.
Scotty is married to Suzanne and they have 4 grown children. His first published book, “Never Give In” charts the ‘12 Commando Rules for Life’ and is available here Never Give In by Major Scotty Mills | Waterstones.
