Mastery Coaching

Zen Discipline

Let me be clear. This is not another invitation to slow down, breathe more, be gentle with yourself. Well, that’s part of it. But certainly not all of it.

I'm not that guy.

I train six hours a day in ancient Shaolin arts. I left a career at Goldman Sachs not because I was burning out but because I wanted to burn brighter.

But discipline without stillness is a flamethrower with no aim.

'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. Ben has become an anchor in my life — like a mirror reflecting the side of me that always wanted to get my shit together.' — Rens van den Broek, Partner at gsSMART

You Already Know

You ticked the boxes. Achieved what others aspired to. Yet, a whisper came: So what?

People look at your life and see someone who has it together. You know better.

Beneath the performer lies a sensitive soul. A longing for depth and inner connection. To recover the innocent magic of a child.

And yet — performance is part of you. Rejecting it isn't the answer.

You are not lacking drive. You have a colossal amount of energy inside you — always have. The problem was never intensity. The problem is it's leaking.

The Runaway Train

Your mind moves at lightning speed. Sometimes it feels like a superpower. More often, like a runaway train.

You're spinning too many plates. Exercise. Meditation. Health. Habits. Work organisation. Life vision. Minimalism. Downtime.

You've tried addressing these separately. A meditation app here. A personal trainer there. A productivity system that lasted three weeks.

None of it held. Because none of it was held together.

When you're frantically solving problems while clearly dysregulated, you're cleaning a dirty window with a dirty cloth. Clean the cloth first. Then the window takes care of itself.

'Ben saw my weirdness as a strength. He showed me how to channel it into power. Now I can't imagine living any other way.' — Tibor de Boer, Coach and Marketing Consultant

Your Suspicion Is Right

There is another way.

A power that doesn't burn you out but fuels your fire. Born from stillness, not striving.

What if one coach could hold it all?

Not a specialist in one slice of your life. Someone who sees the whole picture — practice, health, work, creativity, relationships, dark side — and treats them as one system. Because they are.

'If you are at a turning point in your life and want to take a big step towards your best self, Ben is your coach.' — Armin Peter, Former Global Partner at UBS

Your Personal Sensei

I'm a Goldman Sachs lawyer turned master of ancient internal Kung Fu, living near Shaolin Temple in China. The first Westerner to train one-on-one with Shifu Wu Nanfang, a 31st-generation Shaolin lineage holder. I’ve been going at it like this for five years now.

Essentially: Your cliché fantasy personal guru sensei.

Here to get you enlightened, rich and sexy at the same time.

I provide comprehensive coaching for a maximum of five clients. I currently have space for one.

I cover all the fundamentals: mindbody practice, health habits, digital minimalism, work organisation, introspective journalling and deep work.

Most coaches scale with more clients and more marketing. I go the other way. I scale potency, not noise.

I don't leak energy on social media. I dedicate six hours daily to my internal practice — to collect energy for my students. Over 10,000 hours with great masters, distilled and transmitted from my base by the birthplace of Zen.

'Ben is the real deal. From the very first time we spoke, I sensed a rare kind of quiet, electric power in him — the kind that can only be cultivated through thousands of hours of disciplined practice.' — Levina Li, Life & Leadership Coach

Ancient Internal Kung Fu

After years training with masters worldwide, I found in Gulun Kung Fu what I had been looking for: ancient internal Shaolin arts that embody Zen stillness in motion.

Standing practices that root scattered energy. Breathing methods that cool an overheated mind. Spiralling movements that transform tension into flow.

An all-in-one practice to upgrade body and mind — personalised to you, with video guidance.

You needn't punch trees in China. But a consistent 30-minute morning practice will change the way you carry yourself through every meeting, every decision, every conversation.

What This Looks Like

Weekly 90-minute calls: half practice, half deep coaching.

Unlimited access between sessions.

Personalised mindbody practice with videos.

Daily journal to track progress.

Targeted modules on deep work, distraction, health habits and more.

While I have a spiritual side, the work is all about practical action with tangible results. Every minute you invest will be won back double from distraction and confusion.

We cultivate the internal conditions that make external takeoff inevitable.

The Metamorphosis

Like those before you, find:

• Time & Energy. Reclaim 3+ hours daily from distraction and unlock deep flow states.

• Mind-Body Upgrade. Reverse years of decay in months.

• Performance. Unshakeable calm Zen focus to halve working hours while doubling output.

• Alignment. Break free from addiction and self-sabotage to step into the driver's seat and intentionally design the next evolution of you.

• The Switch. Deeply experience how stillness outperforms striving, forever immunising yourself against the temptation to run faster 'just this once.'

What Others Found

'I've taken coaching from some of the field's most elite coaches, and I can confidently say that Ben has been the most impactful coach I've worked with to date. This is something I only recommend stepping into with clear eyes and a full heart. It won't be easy, but your progress won't be slow either.' — Anton Wigg, Pro Poker Player & Entrepreneur

'No stone will be untouched. Ben incorporates a wonderful mix of hardcore Shaolin warrior, peaceful Buddhist monk, and determined Western business coach.' — Georg, Founder of YouWorkLife

'After two years, I honestly can't imagine life without the practice. It is deeply meaningful for me and gives a sense of continuity and stability. Ben is a rare example of sincerity and integrity: he is guiding and teaching from a real and deep experience with humility and warmth.' — John Crawford, Concert Violinist & Alexander Technique Teacher
