Ben is one of the leading keynote speakers in the world.The parallels between his experience, everyday life and the business world are undeniable and so became the basis of the best selling book and a performance consultancy of the same name.In 2011 Ben co-founded Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? the leadership and performance consultancy.
