Hi, I'm Bennett!

Supporting Best Buddies International has been a passion of mine for the last dozen years. I've not only built great friendships but also learned so much about the IDD (intellectual and developmental disabilities) community.

Now, I’m offering my private coaching services to adults aged 22–40 who are looking for a compassionate approach to reaching their goals within 6-month engagements. Read more about my philosophy and approach below, and if you’re interested, let’s set up a phone call to get to know one another.

Hear what past clients have to say

During the college application process, our son was overwhelmed and doubting himself at every step.

Through Bennett's services, he gained not only structure and guidance, but a level of confidence we hadn’t seen before. He started to believe in his own abilities, took ownership of his applications, and approached the entire process with a sense of pride. The transformation in how he saw himself was just as meaningful as the college acceptance itself.

Bennett has been working with our son Pelly for over 10 years and the efforts have made major differences in his ability to become an independent adult.

Bennett's compassion, care, personality, vision, and love to help have made such a positive influence on Pelly that it has increased his confidence and knowledge of many real-life situations. Bennett is always positive and always looking for the next thing to help grow the progress, even if it is a lot of repeating, as we know sometimes forward steps are not always that fast. We couldn't imagine our son's ability to manage day-to-day affairs would be this much along without the help and dedication of Bennett.

My coaching approach

Some of my core beliefs that set my coaching apart

1

Genuine Rapport

Rather than jumping straight into tactics and outcomes, I prioritize real rapport as the foundation of a successful coaching relationship. With every client, we onramp with dedicated quality time to better understand each other and build trust.

2

Tailored Strategies

Every client comes in with a unique background, capabilities, and goals. In the same vein, I draw from a wide toolbox of strategies to design a unique program for every individual, pivoting when necessary and adapting to feedback from parents and clients alike.

3

Empower Possibilities

In the face of adversity, every client brings an incredible wealth of capabilities to the table. I place a lot of emphasis on understanding and appreciating a client’s existing capabilities, in order to empower new possibilities from a place of strength.

How It Works

My coaching is designed to tackle specific goals and focus areas in at the cadence that works for the client.

1

Intake Call

The first step is a complimentary 30-minute intake call, usually with the client’s guardians, to understand the client’s specific goals and background. The goal of this call is to establish a cadence of services, should you choose to work with me.

2

Build Rapport

To build a strong foundation for coaching, we dedicate a few sessions for pure quality time, getting to know one another and establishing a real connection.

3

Life Coaching

I draw from a wide toolbox of strategies and techniques to help each client navigate their path toward their goals. During the coaching engagement, I offer check-ins with parents via phone calls or progress reports at the cadence and format that works best for them.

4

Assess Program

At the end of approximately 6 months of coaching, we assess the program and see if we want to continue our engagement.
