INSPIRATIONAL Military Speaker Captain Ed Addington wowed an audience of Investment Bankers with his talk about leadership under fire.

Ed served in both Iraq and Afghanistan before he was severely injured from an IED in Helmand 3 years ago.

He has made a remarkable recovery from his life threatening injuries and is in huge demand as a motivational speaker when he is not doing his day job at a consultancy firm.

One member of the audience said:  It is humbling hearing a story like Ed's.  The bravery and sacrifice our troops make is often forgotten.  The manner which Ed took decisions in Life and Death circumstances can be applied, albeit with less serious implications, on a City Trading Floor.

Ed highlighted the key values the military train you in:

Integrity

Selfless Commitment

Discipline

Courage (both moral and physical)

Respect for others

Loyalty.
