5 Steps to Make the Impossible Possible:

Whether you need to set bigger goals or reach the ones you already have, Ben will help you get from “ambition” to “accomplishment.” Ben’s message of radical possibility combined with his ‘5 Steps to Make the Impossible Possible’ leaves audiences not only inspired but also equipped with tools to tackle the seemingly insurmountable. His system of achieving impossible goals demystifies daunting tasks by turning ‘dreams’ into ‘projects’ and creates inspiration through action and accountability.

Leading with Purpose:

Driving teams to thrive today requires new strategies for connecting and getting results. Retention and engagement are major issues as old leadership models don’t deliver like they once did. Effective leaders must go deeper and show empathy and understanding to help teams reach their true potential. When team members truly feel that their leadership and organization cares about their personal and their professional development, that’s where the magic happens.

More About Ben 

Garnering standing ovations from AIG, Anthem, Amazon, FedEx, Harvard, Microsoft, Verizon, and more. Ben is recognized as one of the World’s Top Organizational Culture Thought Leaders and was ranked 3rd Best Motivational Speaker in the world by Global Gurus in 2022 In his first year of university, Ben was unexpectedly hit with a depression that forced him to In an attempt to feel more alive, he created the world’s greatest bucket list with his three best friends. They borrowed a rickety old RV and crisscrossed North America, achieving the unthinkable. And most importantly, every time they accomplished a dream, they helped a complete stranger cross something off their bucket list. 

We called our mission The Buried Life. The Buried Life was named after a 150 year-old poem by Matthew Arnold which articulated our frustrations perfectly our dreams felt buried. We borrowed an RV, bought a second-hand camera and hit the road for a two-week road trip to tackle our list of impossible dreams and help others. What happened next was completely unexpected. Total strangers reached out to help us with our bucket list, and also sent us their dreams asking for help. We had no idea the ripple effect our mission would have, ultimately inspiring millions to write their list and pursue their buried dreams.

That two-week road trip has lasted over a decade. And the list items that I was once convinced were impossible, have somehow been checked off the list.
As a result, I now truly believe that anyone can do anything and I have seen how this belief changes how you make decisions and, ultimately, how you live your life. My goal is to instill this belief in you and prove that you are capable of the impossible.

Ben unlocks the power of purpose! He aligned our personal goals with our organizational purpose and lifted our team's energy. He left our team with a roadmap to thrive personally and professionally. Since Ben’s session, we’ve been sharing our life goals regularly and supporting each other in achieving them. Without Ben’s motivation, there would be less transparency in our organization about where we want to go as individuals.

Ben has a gift!
Our team was so inspired and talked about the impact for days. We know that the ripple effect is real when we dream of what is possible and serve others along the way to create a more beautiful life.

Ben’s keynote & Bucket List Journal inspired, reenergized and motivated the team in an outstanding way. His personal story combined with actionable resources was the perfect combination.
