Book Ed Coats
Motivational Speaker
Booking Ed Coats will go down a storm at your special event! We are a booking agent for Ed Coats, and can arrange for him to entertain your guests. Ed Coats is also a doctor in a busy Maternity Unit in Bristol with degrees in Medicine, Extreme Physiology and Medical Law. In 2009 he joined James Cracknell and Ben Fogle on the first ever race to the South Pole, the first attempt of its kind since Amundsen beat Captain Scott in 1912.
Ed Coats completed a two-day selection course to win his place on the expedition team beating a large amount of applicants. The trip and selection process was filmed for a 5-part TV documentary series for BBC2 called ‘On Thin Ice’.
Six teams from around the world took part in what has been billed as the toughest endurance race on the planet. The team raced 500 miles unsupported across Antarctica for 16 hours a day in temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius, while pulling 80kg sleds behind them. The team raced across crevasse fields while battling blisters, frostbite, hallucinations and pneumonia.
They eventually finished in second place, an achievement due in no small part to Ed Coats’s clear-headed support and mediation between his two more experienced team mates.
Ed Coats is a regular keynote, motivational and after dinner speaker. In presentations he talks about maximising performance in new teams and how to develop a cohesive understanding of team dynamics.
He weighs up individual and collective responsibility in teams and how to form efficient and effective bonds. Ed Coats looks at the highs and lows of target focused teamwork and the difficulties that the team dynamics can have on different leadership styles and how both the team, its leaders and individuals can learn to deal with adversity and challenge.
