What they are saying
City of Durham
Ben, your part in our leadership retreat could not have been better. We are looking to have you back soon to speak to more of our department. I can’t imagine a police department that doesn’t need a talk like this on occasion. Nationally, the law enforcement profession in general has been through a rough ride the past few years. It is easy for officers (well tenured leaders and new officers alike) to suffer burn-out and become cynical. You reminded us that we did not start our careers that way. You gave good advice on how to get back to our early days of feeling called to the profession to do good for people. We hope more police departments schedule you, we could not endorse you more.
Raise Fundraising Event Conference
This was EXACTLY what I needed. The past couple years our fundraising experience has fallen flat - even though we were raising money, it just wasn't fun. I took away LOTS of great ideas that I will be applying to our next gala.
Ben made me think of not only how we should run things, but how to better screen those we are, and will be, working with.
He was funny and engaging. A lot of great tips and ways to talk with our staff and partners.
Best session of the entire conference. Tons of tangible ideas to take back and implement. Wonderful
Ben is a great presenter! He is engaging & funny. His stories kept me interested & he has so much knowledge to share.
Ben is fantastic. He's both knowledgeable and engaging. He was one of my favorite presenters last year and he did not disappoint this year.
Amazing. Just great!! Such good info, wonderful presentation, great energy after lunch, stopped for questions, gave concrete examples and tips. Really enjoyed the session and learned a ton.

JDRF Virtual Event
Ben you did an awesome job last night and thanks for the impact you helped deliver for our NC JDRF virtual event. We drove a great outcome and you were an important part of that. Having spent many years in front of big groups which can give you lots of energy, it must have been challenging creating that energy when it’s just you in front of a computer screen. You sure have a talent as we could feel your energy, passion and enthusiasm. Momentum is a very powerful thing and you helped create that and allowed us to stretch to a higher goal.
Just wanted to say thanks and wish your family well!

Our Beliefs
In our current world, stress is the overriding element leading to our negative emotions and lack of productivity in our personal and professional lives. Every day in the news and on social media we witness countless stories of war, illness, unrest, crime, and suffering. We have to make a choice about what we believe. When can choose to believe the world is terrible and we are powerless against it. Or, we can choose to believe in the good elements of our world, our friends, family, co-workers, and community, We can believe we can make a difference. We can live by example and show others the way. In so doing, we can lift the spirits of others, provide encouragement, create hope, and see opportunity. Great leaders see things as they are while also casting a vision of the future that's better than today. If you believe improvement and success is possible, you will see opportunities instead of obstacles. Its been proven, when you are stressed, thinking negatively, angry and upset, the creative part of your brain disconnects and your fight or flight system is activated. This is precisely why when angry, solutions and answers are nearly impossible to see. If you can learn and decide to perceive stress as a positive challenge to overcome, and you believe it's possible if you keep working, then you harness the greatest power of human potential. Resilience. The ability to keep going, keep trying, keep searching. Always with a positive mindset to activate the creative and solutions based part of your brain. This attitude, with the help others you've inspired along the way, will allow to you achieve anything you set your mind to achieve. If you simply believe.
