Tim Buckle

Much of Tim’s work today is spent within schools, working with the whole school community. He delivers interactive workshops and assemblies that help children understand how their brains work and build practical strategies for managing their emotions, thoughts and behaviour, including support around SATs and school transitions. Alongside this, Tim delivers CPD training and workshops for teachers and school leaders, helping staff manage their own minds so they’re better equipped to support pupils, reduce stress and tackle burnout.

Tim also works with corporate teams and organisations, delivering keynotes and workshops focused on team wellbeing and performance. Using The Chimp Model, he helps individuals and teams understand and manage their emotions, build resilience and perform at a higher level under pressure.

This grew out of a 13-year coaching career with British Cycling, where Tim worked with athletes under 16. His teaching style was so effective that it’s now used as the leading coaching method for under-16s across the sport, a track record that translates directly into how he engages audiences of every age, from pupils to executives.

Before that, Tim spent four years as part of the GB male endurance squad, competing at World Championships and representing England at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.

For over 20 years Tim has worked alongside Professor Steve Peters, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling. He remained involved in elite sport, including GB Taekwondo and the INEOS Grenadiers Pro Cycling Team for a number of years.

His highly engaging style makes him equally suited to staff CPD days, assemblies and pupil workshops, corporate keynotes and team workshops, as well as public and private sector audiences more broadly.
