Benjamin understands that championship teams are not built on talent. They are built on standards, on relationships, and on the willingness to have the conversations everyone else is avoiding. He has spent two decades working at the intersection of human behaviour, organisational culture, and high performance. He is the creator of the RAW Leadership framework and the Unstoppable Company methodology, and he works privately with CEOs and senior leaders of businesses across the UK. He has written six books, three of them on leadership. He has spoken to audiences at Zurich, Unilever, GSK, Durham University and Teesside University, where he has also lectured. He appeared on BBC Dragons' Den as the inventor of Lacemups, toured the country writing, directing and performing with theatre companies, and, perhaps most improbably, he is responsible for England rugby fans singing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot at Twickenham. He is also a qualified RFU coach and Deputy Director of Rugby for Northumberland County, where he coaches the next generation of girls and women in the game.

Claire Johnson is Head of Leadership Development at Shrine London and the creator of Think Like an F1 Driver, a leadership and decision-making framework designed for founders and leaders operating under sustained pressure. With over 20 years' experience across elite sport, performance coaching, and leadership development, Claire specialises in how leaders think, decide, and perform when conditions are volatile and the margin for error is small. Her work focuses on physiological control and decision clarity under pressure, leadership behaviour under stress, and building performance stability in complex, fast-moving environments. Claire has worked with founders, executives, and leadership teams across multiple sectors, supporting organisations navigating growth, operational strain, and moments of transition. She is recognised for translating elite performance principles into practical leadership behaviours that stand up in real business conditions, where time is limited, information is imperfect, and accountability matters. As the creator of Think Like an F1 Driver, Claire draws on the realities of motorsport, where decisions are made at speed and consequences are immediate, to help leaders understand how they operate under pressure and how to build systems that support better decisions, stronger standards, and sustained performance. At Shrine London, Claire works alongside founders and leadership teams to develop the human performance layer that underpins execution, value creation, and long-term resilience.
