Communicate clearly when the pressure is on

20 years at Sky. Now I train leadership teams to communicate with impact when it counts

When communication breaks down:

  • Good people leave
  • Teams work in silos
  • Difficult conversations are avoided  
  • Important perspectives are missed
  • Engagement drops

How it works

We diagnose how your team communicates under pressure, then use real scenarios to build the behaviours leaders actually need.

No theory. Everything is designed to be applied immediately. In real meetings, decisions, and difficult moments.

The Trolley Problem Communication Framework

A signature framework that reveals how teams communicate and make decisions under pressure:

  • Who speaks first
  • Who stays silent
  • How difficult decisions are communicated
  • What gets missed

 

Developed over 20 years at Sky. Now used to train leadership teams across business and education.

Outcomes

  • Stronger trust and lower staff turnover
  • More confident, decisive leaders
  • Faster decisions with fewer mistakes
  • More productive, aligned teams

Who I work with

  • HR and L&D teams
  • Senior leadership teams
  • High-potential managers
  • Early-career talent in large organisations

Testimonials

“I worked closely with Tejas for almost a decade at Sky Sports News, and have always found him to be a quite brilliant and supportive colleague. The vast majority of the work we have done together has been in the field of EDI, and Tejas’s understanding of the subject matter and sensitivity in dealing with often very difficult issues has been exemplary. His guidance and understanding has been of huge importance to me. Importantly, the areas where Tejas has shown his best judgement and impartiality has often been with issues outside race, culture and religion; his inclusivity and objectivity has often extended to stories involving disability, sexual orientation, and misogyny.”
Rob DorsettSky Correspondent
“Tejas was a great help at Sky Sports creating opportunities for me to work on projects that celebrated diversity in sport. I learned a lot from him through his great communication as he set up an interview with actress Daisy Ridley about playing the role of the first woman to swim the English Channel. He clearly told me what was explained in the production process and guided me to put the final product together.”
Sam BoginEuropean Athletics
“Great at making you think about communications in a fun way and the workshops make you challenge your views and put the principles into action straight away.”
S ParmarSurveyor
“Tejas has delivered talks at the Westmont Enterprise Hub at the University of West London. His advice is highly informative, and his ideas, enthusiasm and communications background has provided invaluable insight for our startups and small businesses.”
Angela KanwarHub Development Manager, Westmont Enterprise Hub, University of West London
“After more than 20 years in the industry, I can say Tejas is one of the most talented and hardest-working producers and journalists I have come across.  His warm, engaging personality has helped him to put together one of the best contacts books in the business. He seems to know everyone who matters - from pop stars to US presidents. If I ever need to set up an interview or get in touch with someone, Tejas is my first port of call.”
SSN Chief Reporter
“Tejas is a great communicator - knowledgeable and engaging. His warmth, tone and passion for telling stories are clear to see through his work as a producer and journalist for over 20 years. He brought this to the community events we have organised, he's been enthusiastic and supportive and a team player. He would be an asset to any organisation looking to improve communications.”
Santanu VasantHigher Education Head of Learning & Teaching
“I had the pleasure of working with Tejas during his time at Sky. His contribution across our work was excellent. He brought a rare blend of clarity, creativity and strategic thinking to our communications work.

We collaborated during his time at Sky Sports, where he brought to life pre-Olympic features on Olympic medallists Keely Hodgkinson, Josh Kerr, and Lina Nielsen. He also provided invaluable support on the ground in Paris, helping to amplify the voice of our athletes.”
Christian Von EitzenForte Talent Group
“Fun, vibrant and engaging in the way he delivers excellent advice using his personality. Finds a unique and entertaining way of delivering learning.”
Eddie Decardi-NelsonProducer
“TV appearances require a professional sounding board, and Tejas’s high profile experience at Sky, coupled with his specialised expertise in media training ensures that individuals can communicate their messages clearly and effectively at scale with confidence. I say all this with personal experience as he got me onto Sky News to talk live about receiving British Empire Medal.”

“Tejas mentored with such empathy and understanding, creating a space where my child felt valued, supported, and genuinely included. His warmth, insight, and ability to bring out the best in others is a true gift. Anyone fortunate enough to be mentored by Tejas will not only grow professionally but will also be deeply grateful for his encouragement, knowledge, and humanity.”
