Ben Wales

Ben's knowledge and ability to draw out the crux of a challenge has helped me to order and make sense of our current operating environment and challenges. I have come away from our call feeling empowered and invigorated and; alongside the additional metrics, guidance and reading he has given me to help with the issue I am focussing on; has given me a boost of confidence in my own abilities and growth potential. Thank you, Ben! I am looking forward to our next call! GM, Operations Manager

It's hard to put the value of my coaching relationship with Ben into one review. He brings clarity at times of flux, cuts through chaos and provides an environment where I am incredibly supported to make the right decisions. Being a senior leader can at times feel lonely. I know I can pick up the phone to Ben at any time and am never made to feel that an issue is inconsequential. Put simply, my life is better for having a coaching relationship with him! SE, MD

Ben has had a staggering impact on my life in the year that I have known him. An exceptional coach that can unpack complex situations, creating space for new perspectives and asking better questions. In both group and 1-2-1 settings, Ben always finds a way to get "unstuck" and has a unique ability of breaking down seemingly insurmountable challenges. I couldn't recommend him enough. - PN, COO

Ben is a class act, and has managed to achieve where many others have failed: influencing behaviour, making the learning stick, and affecting real change. The leadership development programme that he has guided me and my colleagues through has been in a completely different league to those I have previously experienced. As a consultant member of a SLT I continue to feel very fortunate, personally and professionally, to have been introduced to Ben and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. NE, HR Consultant

I've known Ben for about a year now and have had a great experience in that time. He introduced me to the concept of Vistage, and respectfully and enthusiastically pursued me until my interest was piqued. I joined his group and have never looked back. He has a great, empathetic style and manages to get the balance right between listening and guiding. He is adept at distilling deep, complex business issues into the one or two key elements that can really help to move things forward. Seeing the wood for the trees is one of his greatest strengths. When we meet, I often have difficult business issues to process. Without exception, I always leave our discussions with a clearer view of the path ahead, and feeling much better about the particular issue that has been on my mind. Ben is an all round top guy. It's a pleasure to know him and I can't recommend him highly enough. D.B. CEO.

Ben is an exceptional coach whom I hired when faced with making one of the biggest business decisions of my life. I knew of Ben's reputation: he is insightful, incredibly bright and equipped with a brilliant toolkit and an ability to get quickly to the crux of the matter and to therefore help his client to get there and to find their own, workable solutions; the results were incredible for me. With his coaching I was able to find the right direction in a very difficult and confusing time and, along with it, purpose, calm and renewed focus - which felt like quite a challenge before we began! Thank you Ben, I wouldn't have got here without you - happy, loving my work again and a TEDx Speaker!!! HM Company Director & Speaker

Ben's ability to hold the space and his deep, intuitive listening helped create lots of new perspectives and possibilities for me.This led me to the right decisions for me and my business and I know I am on the right path now. He also held me to account in a subtle way yet in a way that I knew I would not be "let off the hook" SJ Managing Partner

Ben’s Coaching is first class. I knew Ben by reputation; now I know him for inspiring considerable confidence, growth and performance in my team. It’s important to choose the right coach - I chose Ben. JS HR Business Partner
