Ben is a powerful and entertaining speaker, but he is also much more than that. Part of Ben's struggle with traditional learning led him to discover a love of art. A love that he has turned into a dynamic, not-to-be-missed, live art demonstration which wows and astonishes audiences, sweeping them up in an exciting and memorable experience that crowns Ben's message as he literally whips together a beautiful drawing in less time than it takes to eat a sandwich!

Importantly, no matter where he is and who he is addressing, Ben always finds a way to tie his message in with the drawing. This integration of both spoken and visual, firmly stamps the presentation and its message into the hearts and minds of all his audiences making Ben one of the most unique, but also relevant speakers you could invite to your event. (His return client base is a testament to the effectiveness of his program - more than 80% first-time clients bring Ben back multiple times within five years of the initial event.)

What to do when "It Happens": Seeing the Big Picture to Reach Success

(length: 30-90 minutes based on your scheduling needs)

What do you do when “IT” happens to you? What is “IT”? Anything unforeseen and unpleasant that you think only happens to other people. And yet, there you are, and “IT” is happening to you. How do you respond? How do you make the best of a challenging situation? How do you not only survive, but thrive when life veers off the track? The answers have much to do with your perspective.

Through personal anecdotes, stories, and a mesmerizing painting Ben will remind the audience that the one thing that everyone can control is how they view “IT”. In particular Ben will share how important it is to cultivate a can-do mindset and to realize that adversity can be one of our best allies for growth and personal evolution.

The art of encouragement and team building.

(length: 30-90 minutes based on your scheduling needs)

The practice of encouragement lies at the heart of successful leadership and teamwork. Words have power. Are you aware of the words that come out of your mouth on a daily basis? Are you building people up or tearing them down?  

Ben shares the difference that encouragement has made in his own life and asks the audience to give consideration to how they use their verbal power.  This is an excellent presentation for leadership and team building events.

The Heart of a Champion

(length: 30 or 60 minute “pep rally” for sales/team meetings)

No stranger to team sports or to athletic competition, Ben shares that true success on or off the field takes more than just physical strength or pure talent. Being a winner involves “The Heart of a Champion” – the kind of individual who is determined to keep running, punching, pushing and moving forward even when the body and mind indicate that there is no more to give.

Ben will share clear and effective strategies that can enable anyone to pursue their potential to becoming Champions in their own life. Discover what separates those who have courageously soared higher, farther, and faster from those who only think about it.

The Power of ADHD in the Workplace.

(length: 30-90 minutes based on your scheduling needs)

Ben has lived with ADHD all of his life. He struggled through school and then while in college felt compelled to pursue a speaking career. There were times when he feared he was making the biggest mistake of his life, but as it turned out, he chose a career ideally suited for his particular strengths and weaknesses. Diagnosed as an adult, Ben has spent the last decade in the pursuit of knowledge that could assist him in making the most of his ADHD traits.

This is an eye-opening, easy-to-understand, and informative program about ADHD. If you have ADHD or work with people who do, this presentation can provide tools for harnessing strength and confidence from a condition often characterized by weakness and insecurity. This is an excellent tool for team-building and leadership training.
