Every day, leaders face the increasingly difficult task of meeting this quarter's objectives and adapting to changing market conditions while navigating the complexities of their organization. It's no wonder so many leaders get stuck focusing on the here and now without the time to lean into nurturing leadership talent or optimizing their team's performance-all of which contribute to advancing their own career growth.
Finding the balance to run the businesses Ben Colvin led while discovering the innate talents of employees and transforming teams are common threads woven throughout his career. Today, they are the focus of his coaching practice. As a coach, his foundation is based on more than twenty-five years as a corporate business executive and firsthand experience building and leading diverse, domestic, and global teams.
As a senior business leader, Ben built a track record of accomplishments including running billion-dollar lines of businesses across product, marketing, and business development roles at leading companies. He led diverse regional and global teams to achieve near-term business objectives and address strategic, future growth imperatives. At every step, Ben navigated the challenges of change management, the interdependencies of global and regional functions, and the intricacies of matrix management to produce superior results through high-performing teams, whether they had six members or 160.
Ben combines this business lens with his coaching to apply a singular perspective that's relatable, enabling clients to apply their coaching in a transferable and sustainable way. As a coach to individuals and teams, Ben's approach focuses on helping clients see their world from different perspectives. When leaders broaden their views, they achieve their greatest potential and inspire the highest degree of performance from their teams. The realization of personal truths enables leaders to make more fulfilling and transformational choices, equipping them for success beyond what they initially sought from him as a coach.
