Clients

求
01 FOR THOSE WHO
This is for you if you
01Want mastery deeper than conventional success — without giving up the success.
02Value peace and performance, and refuse to trade one for the other.
03Are ready to put a practice at the non-negotiable centre of your life.
04Would rather take disciplined action than talk about it.
It also helps if you have a cheeky sense of humour and don't take yourself too seriously. I'm a rascal at heart.
火
02 THE SHORT VERSION
Who's talking
A fat, addicted, stiff lawyer in chronic pain, trapped in the heart of the matrix at Goldman Sachs. That was me.
I now live in the Chinese mountains, train six hours a day with a lineage holder, and spend the rest of the day writing and coaching a handful of brilliant individuals.
If you feel yourself getting slowly sucked into the swamp of life and refuse to let your soul be gobbled up, we should talk.
“As an executive coach myself, I've developed a healthy scepticism of people who call themselves coaches. But Ben is the best coach I've ever had — and a lot more. I set ambitious goals that I thought would take two years to reach. We hit most of them in three months.”
