Ben Hunt-Davis MBE
Will It Make the Boat Go Faster? The Motivational talk that is guaranteed to deliver a result for your conference or event!
Ben engages the audience with his story, from being picked for the team to crossing the line as Olympic Champions. He talks about the team and how 8 completely different people from different backgrounds with different motivations and different skills who were labeled as ‘also rans’ came together to beat the best rowers in the world.
They were given very little chance and a birth in the final was the best everyone else expected, but on that memorable morning in Sydney 2000 they shocked the world with an incredible victory which your audience can re-live as Ben plays the race video at the end of his talk, the commentary is amongst the best and most inspiring sports reporting ever recorded and never fails to leave the audience feeling truly motivated and inspired.
Many of the companies that choose this talk end up adopting the phrase ‘Will it make the boat go faster’ which shows the value of this delivery is not restricted to the conference hall, it will resonate for long after the delegates have returned to business. It is also incredibly powerful when Ben is introduced as an ex rower who is now a business and motivational coach rather than a Gold Medal Winner. The dawn of recognition when the audience begins to realise what Ben has achieved can be much more powerful when he is introduced in this way.
