Hi, I’m Ben Brearley. I help thoughtful leaders build confidence, reduce stress and get the best out of their people.
Thoughtful leaders often struggle to feel good about their leadership. It can be hard to hold people accountable and achieve high performance when your first instinct is to look after your people and help them grow.
Confidence can suffer as you start to doubt yourself, asking “am I doing the right things?”
If this sounds a little like your situation, then I can help. I believe that you can be a thoughtful, people-focused leader and get great results at the same time. (In fact, I think thoughtful leaders are the best leaders).

You need to keep learning, improving and feel supported while you do it, but sometimes, leadership development can cost you a lot of money and time.
