Speakers

Ben Hunt Davis is a renowned keynote speaker, and performance coach. With 20+ years of experience, Ben specializes in leadership and team development. He is a best-selling co-author of the book ‘Will It Make The Boat Go Faster?’ and Olympic Gold medallist from the Sydney Olympics.

Ben tells the story of the last 24 months leading up to the Sydney Olympics and how the Great Britain Men’s Eights changed as a crew from being a regularly 7th placed boat to a winning one. The story is one of a group of individuals forged into a winning team by following a set of Performance Principles, habitually and consistently, in everything they did. 

The Great Britain Men’s Eights’ collective focus, direction and drive to succeed was captured in the execution of the clear and direct question – ‘Will it make the boat go faster?’.
