Supporting Conscious Leadership in Service of People & Planet
Leadership and Team Development Facilitator | Experiential Keynote Speaker | Certified Enneagram Guide
Leaders, teams, and communities are navigating more pressure and complexity than ever:
Personal Challenges
Chronic stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue
Reactivity and overwhelm during moments of pressure
Difficulty staying grounded or thinking clearly in complexity
Relational Challenges
Conflict that escalates or shuts people down
Communication breakdowns in tense moments
Trust erosion, avoidance, or loss of psychological safety
Organizational Challenges
Cultures shaped by reactivity, fear, or exhaustion
Underutilized creativity and collaboration
Meetings and interactions that drain energy instead of facilitate creativity
“Working with Ben has helped our team to be more authentic, collaborative, and deliberate. We have opened up communication and strengthened trust, and we are able to look at bigger opportunities with greater clarity. I would recommend this work to any leadership team that wants to create a culture where collaboration, accountability, and growth extend across their enterprise.”
— Patricia Ieraci, VP Retail (North America), Anchor Hocking
“My team recently participated in a team development workshop with Ben Campbell, and it was transformative. The session gave each of us a deeper understanding of ourselves and the strengths we bring to the team. People were laughing, sharing ideas, and feeling safe to connect in a new way. I highly recommend Ben for any team or leader who wants to strengthen collaboration and bring out the best in their people.”
— Tracey Poffenroth Prato, Director of Rehabilitation Services, Holy Cross Medical Center
Why invest in leadership and culture development? The research is clear:
Replacing an employee typically costs 1.5-2x their annual salary in lost productivity and the cost of recruitment and onboarding (Society for Human Resource Management)
Disengaged employees cost organizations an average of 34% of their annual salary in lost productivity and disengagement is associated with 43% higher turnover (Gallup).
Companies recognized as top places to work outperform the broader market by 3x or more and generate 8-9x higher revenue per employee (Great Place to Work).
In 2025, nearly 85% of workers reported experiencing burnout or exhaustion, and 47% were forced to take time off for mental health issues (Wellhub)
Job stress is significantly correlated with turnover intention, with interpersonal relationship stress at work being the strongest predictor of turnover (Frontiers in Psychology)
Vision and Approach
My vision is to "Support Conscious Leadership in Service of People & Planet."
When people feel a sense of purpose at work, belong to a team that trusts each other, and have the self-awareness to navigate conflict and change, it creates a powerful ripple effect that spreads throughout their teams, communities, and society as a whole. This isn’t just a pleasant thought–multiple studies have shown that companies who focus on both healthy finances and healthy culture outperform “finance only” companies by a factor of 3:1.
Over the past eight years I’ve worked as a facilitator, coach, and consultant with communities and organizations in manufacturing, healthcare, cleantech, and other industries. My work has ranged from designing and facilitating multi-day retreats, to building structured development programs, to coaching leaders through difficult interpersonal dynamics. I especially love to work with leaders who love nature.
I work in close partnership with clients and co-facilitators — combining proven frameworks and thoughtful design with a genuine curiosity about what each organization actually needs. I believe the wisdom is already in the room. My job is to help teams access it, so the solutions they land on are ones they actually own. As Margaret Wheatley puts it: “People support what they create.”
Two of the frameworks I’ve found most powerful in this work: the Enneagram, which develops the self-awareness and relational intelligence that high-performing teams depend on; and Conscious Leadership, which is about giving leaders the tools they need show up at their best under pressure rather than defaulting to reactive patterns.
Return on Investment Summary
A conservative 1–2% reduction in turnover and 5–10% improvement in engagement produces an estimated value of $500–$1,000 per employee per year in (1) reduced recruiting and onboarding costs and (2) increased discretionary effort and productivity.
A 5–10% improvement in leadership effectiveness produces an estimated value of $1,000–$2,500 per employee per year through better decisions and faster execution.
Reduced conflict and stress-related productivity loss can produce an estimated value of $250–$500 per employee per year in lower absenteeism and less time lost to unresolved tension.
A 2–5% improvement in collaboration and culture metrics and produce an estimated value of $500–$1,000 per employee per year due to better cross-functional execution and increased innovation and problem-solving.
Estimates based on research from Gallup, LinkedIn, and HR Cloud.
