Ben Morton

Member Since: 22nd Jun 2011
Ben is a best selling author, accomplished keynote speaker and sought after leadership mentor who has worked with senior leadership teams in the U.K, US and Australia.
Ben’s work as a leadership mentor is based upon three fundamental beliefs:
- Leadership is less about the tools and models and more about understanding what it really means to be a leader.
- The best leaders put the interests of their people and organisations ahead of their own.
- Leadership is both a great privilege and a great responsibility.
As a graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst he completed two tours of duty in Iraq as a Captain in the British Army. He then moved into business as Global Head of HR, World Challenge, later part of Tui Travel and followed this with a period in the Tesco Leadership Academy.
Alongside his military and corporate career Ben has also led expeditions around the world to places as diverse as the Himalaya’s, Malaysia and Mongolian Stepppe country.
He now works exclusively with senior and executive teams to help them be the most effective version of themselves as individual leaders whilst also becoming a genuine, high performing team.
