Supporting Conscious Leadership in Service of People & Planet
Leadership Development Facilitator | Organizational Culture Consultant | Corporate Enneagram Coach
Portland, Maine
Serving organizations across the US and Canada
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 nice idea–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 decade, I've worked with organizations across the US and Canada, with a particular focus on serving the New England and New York region from my “home base” in Portland, Maine. 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 working with leaders who love nature, and with mission-driven organizations whose work reflects a commitment to people and planet.
I work in close partnership with clients and co-facilitators — combining proven frameworks and thoughtful design with 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.
Two of the frameworks I’ve found most powerful in this work are Enneagram-based team development, 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.
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
Personal Values
There are three fundamental values that drive my work:
1. Human beings have a responsibility to the Earth, and we are at a moment in time where we need to reconcile our relationship as a species to the rest of nature. Reciprocity with the Earth is good for our organizations and for our planet.
2. Businesses have an immense potential to do good for our human and non-human communities; and companies that do good also tend to do well.
3. Work is an essential component of human life, and work should be inherently meaningful. I believe not only that this is possible, but that when we create workplaces that encourage core human needs like purpose and belonging, our organizations and communities thrive.
How to work with me
I work with clients in two ways:
Consulting & Facilitation: Nature-based leadership retreats, corporate Enneagram workshops, and workforce development programs are just a few options for consulting and facilitation. I work with organizations across the US and Canada, with a focus on companies in New England and New York. Engagements range from single-day workshops to multi-month consulting projects, and are customized to fit each client’s unique situation.
Fractional L&D Partner: For scaling companies that need someone to build and run learning and development programs on a part-time, contract basis, without the overhead of a full-time hire. I specialize in building L&D programs that build leadership skills such as effective communication, self-aware leadership, ability to handle complexity, stress management, and team cohesion.
“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.”

“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.”

Conscious Leadership Introductory Workshop
The Conscious Leadership Workshop is a powerful 90-120 minute interactive experience that introduces participants to the self-awareness and emotional intelligence practices at the heart of Conscious Leadership. In a world where change is accelerating faster than our capacity to adapt, this workshop helps participants shift from reactive habits to creative action.
