You’re going through the motions, but you find yourself unmotivated, uninspired, and disconnected from your own goals and desires.
You’re living on autopilot, doing what everyone expects and needs you to do, but the goals you’re chasing aren’t aligned with your own passions and interests.

You feel like you can’t complain or make any changes because you “should” be happy and fulfilled with all you have!

You constantly worry about failing, letting people down who are counting on you, and not meeting the expectations you have set for yourself.
You find yourself unwilling or unable to delegate, give up control, or trust your team. You might even be a micromanager, which is exhausting for you and demoralizing for your team members.
You are always putting out fires, working in urgency, and you find yourself addicted to the adrenaline of being the go-to problem solver for everyone in your world.

You’re a perfectionist and worry that if you can’t deliver on every expectation, people will discover you’re a fraud.
You set unrealistic and unattainable expectations for yourself and your team members.
You pretend everything is great and wear a mask, even when you know you’re drowning or need a break.
You struggle with imposter syndrome.
You doubt the value you bring to your team or your relationships, which prevents you from speaking up or showing up and the leader you want to be.
It’s time to:
✓ Go from living on autopilot to designing an impactful life with purpose
✓ Prioritize, act strategically, and focus on the most important things in your life
✓ Show up as the powerful and impactful leader you know you can be
✓ Recognize the inherent value of your skills and abilities
But to do this, you need to reconnect with your own values and goals, create boundaries for your time and energy, develop your executive presence, and address the unconscious habits you’ve created that keep you in your comfort zone.

The Life-Aligned Leader Program Helps High-Performing Leaders Identify What’s Missing So They Can Prioritize and Achieve Their Own Goals Without Letting Anyone Down.
“Benah was instrumental in helping me identify and overcome limiting beliefs that held back my career.”
Jason was a high-level leader in the Navy who reached out when he was at a crossroads in his military career. He was seeking support in identifying what mattered most to him, where and how he wanted to focus his time, and determining what would truly make him happy in the next stage of his life and career.
Together, we built his confidence around what a life outside the military structure can look like for him and the value and impact he can have in his next professional adventures. He recommitted himself to the habits and behaviors that support the man, father, leader, and partner he wants to be. Today, he has his own leadership brand and inspires people inside and outside the military.
“Benah has been a life preserver in a sea of chaos. If you're looking for growth and willing to dig in, have a chat with Benah. You won't regret it.”
When Erick hired me, he was moving from an individual contributor role to leading a finance team across multiple sites. He had a promotion in his near future and wanted to become the leader he never had. Together, we strengthened his communication and influence skills, developed his executive presence, and helped him step into the higher levels of leadership to expand his impact.
He quickly landed a next level promotion. We then focused on designing the life he actually wanted to be living; setting boundaries for his time and energy so he could show up as the partner, parent, and leader he wanted to be; and setting clear and realistic expectations for himself and his team without needing to be perfect all the time. Ultimately, Erick created his ideal career path through multiple promotions, grew his family, and launched his passion project to impact climate change.

The Life-Aligned Leader Methodology
Alignment System
Many high-performing leaders find themselves going through the motions, but lacking control and fulfillment, and feeling uninspired, unmotivated, and disconnected from their own goals and desires.
We address this by creating your ultimate vision and an action plan to feel fulfilled and in control of your life again. We identify your true core values to unlock your most powerful source of motivation and create a plan to allow you to design a life with intention and purpose.
Balance System
When high-performing leaders struggle with boundaries, there’s no work/life balance, your job is all-consuming, and you begin to neglect yourself and your family. You end up always putting out fires, working in a state of hyper urgency, and addicted to the adrenaline.
We solve this by helping you own what you have control over and release what you can’t control. We create powerful boundaries for your time and energy and build a solid work/life balance so you can focus on what matters most - your health, your family, and your happiness.
Confidence System
Many high-performing leaders don’t know how to develop their executive presence, have poor communication and influence skills, or struggle with emotional intelligence. This can show up as challenges with navigating difficult relationships or dealing with office politics.
We solve this by helping you leverage the power of influence to create deeper connections and strengthen your communication skills. We help you learn to respond vs. react and to recognize and effectively communicate your own needs while managing challenging relationships.
Transformation System
Finally, we focus on the habits you never intended to pick up - like holding yourself and your team to unrealistic expectations, trying to be perfect all the time, pretending everything is great when you know you’re burned out and overwhelmed, doubting your value, and failing to show up as the leader you know you are.
We solve this by setting clear and realistic expectations for yourself and your team, and helping you recognize, interrupt, and replace the habits that aren’t serving you. We create the psychological safety to be human and not wear the mask of perfection.
