Ben is an experienced P&C professional, organisational development specialist and career coach, with a diverse background across government, retail, education, FMCG and not-for-profit sectors. His expertise spans organisational development, culture, talent management, HR operations and leadership development.
Ben's senior background includes exposure to compliance, risk, safety, recruiting, managing and developing talent. As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and accredited Gallup Strengths practitioner, he takes a strengths-based, evidence-driven and client-centred approach to coaching, helping individuals and leaders build self-awareness, understand and maximise their strengths, and translate insights into practical strategies for career and leadership growth.
Ben's coaching is grounded in the day-to-day realities of how organisations operate, not theory. His lived leadership experience shapes his understanding of the pressures leaders face: he helps clients make sense of how their strengths, habits and decision-making patterns play out, clarifies priorities, identifies workable options, and translates insight into achievable, sustainable actions.
Ben coaches individual contributors through to executive leaders across corporate, publicly listed, government-owned and not-for-profit sectors in Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific. Based in the Blue Mountains, when he's not coaching you'll find him on bushwalks, enjoying good food and wine, and recommending "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.
