Benson is a business leader, mentor, inspirational speaker and educator that is fully committed to empowering people, through people.
For over 25 years, Benson has been elevating his understanding and methodology to empower individuals and leadership teams in achieving sustainable high performance.
His infectious energy for navigating organisational change, team dynamics, and sustaining high performance through mental fitness development has led him to collaborate with people focused teams across corporate, local government, professional sports and education sectors.
Benson has dedicated his entire career to inspiring people to believe in themselves and commit to making positive changes. His journey has included supporting senior executives to harmonise their lifestyles, helping professional athletes reach peak performance, and guiding individuals recovering from serious illness or injury to maximise their energy and healing.
After over two decades of learning, combined with a period of tough but humbling personal experiences, Benson founded a not for profit organisation in 2019. Its mission is to grow healthier, happier communities. This initiative has enabled Benson’s ever growing network of like minded health, wellbeing, and business professionals to reach and positively impact underserved communities across five counties and several London boroughs.
Benson and his team have developed an innovative model that utilises income from corporate partnerships to fund one to one mentoring for young people at risk of, or already excluded from, mainstream education. This model has already guided over 40 young people onto a positive path from a place of no hope or purpose.
In addition to his professional work, Benson holds influential positions within several local community boards as well as The FA Leadership Academy. He also chairs the Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Local Skills Accountability Board for CIMSPA (The Chartered Institute for Management of Sport and Physical Activity) and hosts weekly leadership and high performance podcasts.
As an experienced football coach and certified professional football scout, Benson is currently the Head Coach of the Wiltshire County Under 16 boys squad.
Outside of his professional commitments, Benson is passionate about continuous learning. He has recently completed certifications in Education and Training, Tutoring for UK Coaching, Understanding Autism and Adverse Childhood Experiences. He is also an avid listener of audiobooks and podcasts.
In his down time, Benson enjoys improving his DJing skills, learning about fragrances, creating spoken word and relaxing in the countryside.
I’ve learned the hard way that Mental Fitness Matters. Mental fitness isn’t just about positive thinking, it’s about achieving sustainable high performance through positive intelligence.
I believe that sustainable high performance for us as individuals starts with development of our character. My experience is that consistent collective high performance comes from a thriving culture in teams.
Through leadership and high performance coaching I walk alongside people to develop the mental fitness needed to achieve and maintain peak performance more often.
