Cohesion Analytics the understanding of how teams truly work

Ben Darwin is an engaging speaker, who knows his subject matter inside and out. The way he connects incredible research in sports to real life scenarios in board rooms and club houses was something that really resonated with the room and left everyone wanting more. Bens ability to break down huge rafts of information into easily digestible and relatable chunks was a breath of fresh air. His self-effacing approach and dry humour make his style one that instantly relaxes the room and connects with everyone. I would engage his services again in a heartbeat.
