Being vulnerable, and then comfortable in your own skin, is a good place to start.
In a world crying out for connection, confidence and perspective, Ben is arguably one of the most important and inspiring speakers of our time.
In his talk, Ben interweaves counter-intuitive principles and stories from his experience with some of the world’s most successful business leaders, coaches and athletes. These stories illustrate how a deep focus on Authenticity, Vulnerability & Connection can create not only an amazing culture and competitive advantage, but also help the audience work towards building more confidence and navigate life’s biggest distractions both in and outside work.
As Nike's former International Director of Sports Marketing, Ben worked with high profile athletes to link their story with NIKE and realised that in the process, whoever tells the best story wins. But in order to do this, athletes needed to know their own story first. And it’s the same formula that has helped Olympic Gold Medallists, World Champions and Global CEO’s reach their potential. Most recently, he has worked with AFL team Richmond FC and Ash Barty through their most successful times alongside business leaders at Meta, Toyota and Lexus.
Now, Ben explains the power of perspective using stories from the organisations, teams and athletes he’s worked with and explains how a focus on agency, acceptance and appreciation can help achieve peak performance, avoid the distractions that typically sabotage performance and balance achievement with fulfilment.
