Team building coach and motivational speaker

Ben Kay is a former Leicester Tigers and England national rugby player. He is recognised as one of the sport's most accomplished figures. After retiring, Ben became a team-building coach, using his extensive experience to make a significant impact. As a speaker, he shares relatable lessons and anecdotes, appealing to diverse audiences. Ben earned 62 caps for England and participated in two British and Irish Lions tours, establishing himself as a top player. His career highlights include playing a crucial role in England's 2003 Rugby World Cup victory. He dedicated 11 years to Leicester Tigers, further enhancing his reputation in rugby. In 2005, Sir Clive Woodward selected Ben for the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, and the world enjoyed one of the most exciting games in rugby history. In 2007, he was the only English player to see every minute of action in the Rugby World Cup. Ben draws from his personal experiences to discuss mental resilience, teamwork, and leadership in his speaking engagements. He is also active in charity work and serves on various boards, demonstrating his commitment to positive contributions beyond rugby. Ben's experience in an advertising agency gives him insight into the corporate world, allowing him to address organisational challenges.
