Testimonials

“We handpicked Ben for our session given the challenges I was having in getting our predominantly male team engaged with our program, and I have been blown away by the response that I have had from our team post the session. Ben managed to turn sceptics into believers! He articulated mindfulness in a way that was achievable for the guys through your examples, even my highly-strung, non-believer boss. Thank you!”

—Stacey, Brand Manager

“Ben and I have worked together for a number of years in a high pressure environment. He has a great ability to make complicated concepts understandable and relatable, and he introduced a number of strategies to our team that made us better equipped to perform to our potential under pressure”.

- Brad Scott, AFL Coach

“To say that I’ve found the session very useful is an understatement. I loved the part he shared about mindfulness moment with his Son, and I am now more mindful to have the full “performance” of being there for my Daughter when she is telling me something :) ‘ til the next session”

- David, Sponsorship Manager
