Ben Ochs has 15 years of executive development and board governance experience. He has clients in major cities across the continental U.S., and has advised business leaders in Europe, Canada, Mexico and Africa. He is a published author on leadership and executive development, and is an experienced speaker with extensive board experience.

Ben currently works with dozens of presidents of companies, all of whom ascended to their current roles while working with Ben. He is actively engaged in aligning a board of directors to its corporate administrative leaders. Corporations recognize Ben for helping them retain valuable, high-potential executives who were at risk of leaving before working with him.

Ben was raised on a 17,000 acre cattle ranch and owned his first retail business at 24 years of age. He has executive experience serving as a C-level officer and executive in different companies. He serves on and has chaired boards of directors for profit and non-profit corporations in four states.

He is an aerobatic pilot and former race car driver. An antique airplane he helped restore sits in the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field in Seattle.

Ben holds his doctorate in Executive Development from Penn State, and his undergraduate and masters degrees from Oregon State. 		  Effectiveness in leadership depends very much on confidence. Paradoxically, confidence both enhances and undermines leaders and would-be leaders. Learn where confidence finds its roots and how it manifests itself in true effectiveness. Learn about pomposity and how it masquerades as confidence. See how great leaders have personified both humility and great confidence to the betterment of those around them and in the context of productivity and progress. Ben will share examples of his experience with leaders of all types as we explore this often- misunderstood, core element of corporate and individual success and failure.
