The Core Resilience Program
Resilience and Emotional Self Regulation are skills that can be developed in a relatively short amount of time and can dramatically impact mood, mental clarity, decision-making, leadership presence, and overall wellbeing. This 4 session program (two-hours per session spread out over 2 to 4 months) is a highly interactive customized offering to help leaders come away with best practices and individual action plan for building more resilience and self regulation, especially under pressure. It can also be delivered in a one-on-one coaching context in a much shorter time period.
What is Resilience?
Resilience is our way of bouncing back after difficult, oppressive and/or
negative experiences. It’s part of how we live through very hard moments or
times, and what can fuel happiness, connection and well-being. Resilience
brings back a positive imagination for the future, enhances creativity and
agile problem solving, and lets us re-establish both safety and connection. It
helps us feel more alive and perform at a higher level.
What is Emotional Self Regulation?
Emotional self-regulation is our capacity to recognize and manage our
emotional responses as they arise — especially under stress or triggering
situations. This can include stored emotional tension, rumination, social
anxiety, freeze/avoidance patterns, and sleep difficulties. It supports our ability
to shift ourselves from hyper-alert reactions —always looking for what’s
wrong, feeling afraid, burnt-out, and stressed— to a calmed and re-connected way of being
Ben introduced me multiple new processes for managing stress, anxiety, and leadership challenges. By using the various methods Ben taught me, I have been able to better manage my anxiety levels so that I can be more present during meetings and communicate my needs more efficiently and effectively through making requests. Ben’s also been great about supporting me in talking to leadership and understanding their perspective. Months after our last sessions, I continue to see positive results. If you are struggling with anxiety management and imposter syndrome I highly recommend Ben. It’s been a game changer for me at work and at home.

What sets Ben apart is his rare combination of intellectual sharpness and emotional depth. He meets you where you are. Intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and somatically. His approach integrates emotional intelligence with body intelligence, creating a powerful foundation for navigating the inflection points so many founders face.
