Executive and Career Coach Ben Stein

Are you curious how a coach can help you evolve?

We have infinite potential, but often get dragged down by our self talk, self limiting beliefs and living by others’ definitions of success.

My Story

I was a hot mess at the end of my twenties. I was in a job I wasn’t enjoying anymore, using substances to numb my emotional pain, using women to feel good about myself and feeling lost.

I didn’t know how to deal with my emotions like an adult, and I was too checked out to listen to my intuition.

You ever get that feeling you just want to avoid instead of deal?

I knew that I needed to make a change but didn’t know how.

Change can be super scary, so sometimes its easier to stay put in the pain.

I had hit the breaking point one day in 2009, when all I wanted to do was sob in my office chair with no specific reason why, except everything sucked.

I started with therapy for a few months, and that was a step in the right direction, but after a couple months I would find myself walking into appointments focusing on what was wrong, instead of what was going right.

Then an ex-girlfriend gave me one an introductory coaching session.

I was skeptical. After all, who needs a coach anyway, and me seeing a life coach, that seemed like an admission of weakness.

Ironically, coaching unlocked my greatest strengths turning my life around dramatically and quickly.

I clarified my vision for who I was and what I really wanted.

Coaches called me out for binge drinking and challenged me to take some time away from alcohol.

I was scared, so f’in scared.

But for the first time I felt like there was someone who had my back, who cared about me, and realized my potential. Someone who I could confide in, nurture the best in me, and call-out my negative characteristics and give me strategies to overcome them.

They stood for me, and it made all the difference. NOW I AM HERE TO MAKE A STAND FOR YOU!

How Life Coaching Transformed Me

I ended up taking over a year off from alcohol.
I learned how to properly feel and process emotions.
I repaired broken relationships with loved ones and friends.
I got a new job.
I changed the way I dated women, and learned how to be honest, vulnerable and communicate even when it was soooo uncomfortable.
It gave me confidence in myself, my potential and allowed me to feel real joy and hope.

My transformation was so powerful I began coaching training, which I did for two years, and gained experience coaching clients.

However, I had a burning desire to travel the world. If I was going to inspire people to live their dreams I had to live my own or I wouldn’t be authentic.

I left New York City, my job, and started my amazing eight month travel odyssey solo.

The trip was book-ended the trip with epic treks, starting with Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and ending with Everest Base Camp in Nepal.

Coaching gave me the tools, courage and vision to make it happen. I am so grateful and fortunate to have had the opportunity, and there’s nothing like coming up with a plan executing it and bringing it to life.

What dream are you ignoring?

Where are you selling yourself short?

Where are you playing small?

What does coaching with me entail?

First, we start with a coaching introduction and assessment, where we discuss the process and your pain points.

At it’s core, we dive into what’s not working currently.

Then I help you clarify your vision and we create a roadmap for how to get there.

We’ll dive into your purpose, your reason why and what you feel strongly about.

Along the way we cycle through defining and prioritizing your top to-dos, and then you execute on the plan.

Finally we analyze the process and results and look at ways to continuously improve.

There will be roadblocks and we’ll blast through them.

You will want to hide and be sneaky sometimes. I’ll call you out. There will be victories and I’ll be by your side celebrating them with you.

We will:

Define objectives, and what success looks like.
Work together on a roadmap, the blueprint for delivering results.
Define what you’re looking to get done short term, and prioritize the most important pieces.
Look at where you self-sabotage and work to rewire your negative thoughts and behaviors
Analyze the results, and then we’ll plan again.
Periodically, we’ll reevaluate the overall roadmap to make sure it’s still is inline with your bigger vision and intuition.

The important part is that you have someone there who has the right tool set to bring out the best in you, and someone is holding you accountable for doing the work.

You wouldn’t need me if accountability wasn’t such an important piece.

That’s the magic in coaching, and it will help you 10x your life.

Why coach with me?

I get results for my clients, whether its new jobs, repaired relationships, new businesses started or figuring out the purpose plan
I’m real, sensitive, and empathetic
I’m pragmatic, driven, and love delivering results that delight and exceed expectations.
A good part of my career has been in digital production and product management, so I combine cognitive behavioral psychology, life coaching training, and the best cutting edge methodologies of software development.
I have a B.S. in Psychology from Tufts University, have trained with a leading boutique coaching organization, and have years of experience.

How much does it cost?

I have different packages we can discuss on our introductory session.

The most important piece is that you are ready to invest in yourself.

I truly believe there is no better way to spend your money, that will have a better return on investment.

If you’re reluctant, ask yourself, is money just an excuse because I am scared?

One of my favorite ideas is that fear is a signal of where we need to go to grow.

Are you ready to step through fear and grow?

The universe conspires when you take inspired action.

If yes, then I want to work with you.
