About Ben Whiting

Ben Whiting works with organizations that want to tap into the Limitless Potential™ of their greatest resource: their people.The most underutilized asset of any organization is the unrealized potential of its workforce. From executives to entry-level employees, people don’t know how productive they can be, how well they can connect with others, and how much fun they can have while achieving those things. This is where Ben comes in.Drawing on his background as an international leadership development consultant, Ben teaches simple skills and actionable strategies that immediately create cultures of engagement, self-motivation, and true fulfillment in day-to-day work. Working with Ben, participants will learn how to communicate to increase productivity while minimizing drama; how to thrive within the constant change now standard in many industries; and how to quickly create quality relationships with colleagues, clients, and customers that can be leveraged for motivation and influence.Learning these skills can propel any organization to the next level of success by removing multiple root causes of poor staff retention and high turnover–as well as the strain and drain these issues create for leadership. Combining his background in corporate entertainment (magic & mind reading) and professional theater with his experience in leadership development, Ben’s unique formula creates keynote experiences that are fun, memorable, and–most of all–meaningful, ensuring your people will remember what they learn long after he leaves the stage.
