13) Resilience and the Commando Mindset with Ben Williams

Today, we are joined by Ben Williams. Once a drug addict on the brink of suicide, Ben turned his life around by owning the courage to join one of the worlds most elite fighting forces as a Royal Marines Commando. Ben shares his journey through basic training and serving his country in Afghanistan and the mindset lessons we can translate from the military to civilian life. Top of this list is a three letter acronym ARA which helps us respond to high stress situations. On his return from Afghanistan following being blown up by an IED, Ben fell back into a troubled place and talks to us about the self development source that gave him the way forward and his own approach to using the right books and messages to develop himself. Through his coaching business, Ben has coached and worked with some of the biggest names in business and sport, including the likes of Gareth Southgate and the England Football team, and Executives and directors within major banks. We get an insight into sitting at a campfire with Harry Kane and what aspects of Ben's coaching can impact our own mindsets.
