Judo Thinking - Ben Almond
Ben Almond is a judo coach and business leader with a passion for simplifying complexity, developing talent and delivering excellence. Born in Cheltenham in the West of England, he went to school at Rendcomb College, an idyllic, rural boarding school near Cirencester, where he was introduced to judo by his art teacher. Now living in the London-area, he is a successful, global business leader and member of the Institutes of both Chartered Accountancy and Chartered Surveying. He has provided global leadership for teams across six continents. Based on his ‘judo philosophy’, he developed a unique style of leadership-coaching, delivering a number of interactive judo-inspired business workshops for corporate clients in both the UK and the US. Ben is also a level 3 (aspiring elite performance) judo coach and is a 3rd Dan black belt. He is a volunteer coach at Moberly Judo Club in London, where he is also Head of Performance Strategy. In 2024, he was appointed as a member of the British Judo Association’s National Coaching Committee. The success of all Ben’s corporate teams and judo players has been built on his judo-based leadership principles, which he has since come to refer to as ‘Judo Thinking’.
