Coaching with Ben

I have been working with Ben in different ways for two years now. I can honestly say it has been incredibly effective. At that time I was somebody that dismissed wins and positives, beat myself for and focused on minor mistakes and having a fear of letting people in and being vulnerable. I am now self aware of how I react to feelings, much more aware of the great things I have done and am much more open. I also move past fears much quicker. It isn't always easy or perfect but the time spent on it is much shorter now. If you are thinking about it; give Ben a go!

When Ben and I met to discuss a coaching partnership, I honestly didn't know what I was letting myself in for. I came in to get some help and advice to help me in a personal journey of working through some things that were affecting me and holding me back. Within 2 conversations my perspectives and thinking processes were flipped. The 10x methodology aside - Ben's ability to cut through to the core of an issue is second to none In itself this ability will 10x you I'd never invested this much myself - monetarily or personally. Hands down, best decision I’ve ever made.

Working with Ben has been incredible to help me get clear on my vision for my business, and to deal with challenges I was facing around procrastination and self-sabotage. Ben is a very talented and committed coach who will help you to understand and master yourself and support you to achieve your goals in business and in life. Ben helped me to go from thinking about doing a podcast, to knowing that that this was essential, and making a commitment that ensured that this was launched in a matter of weeks, alongside running my business. Ben's coaching made the difference and I feel a lot of satisfaction for having accomplished this. Thank you, Ben!

I am so glad Ben came into my world when he did! Our paths crossed at a time when I was just about to embark on my mentoring journey however procrastinated for almost a year! That all changed when I met Ben and Poppy on their 10 X retreat which gave me so much clarity and the inspiration to go all in on my offers The retreat was so good that I had to join the 10X tribe which not only has been great support kick starting my online business, but it has given me the push to get the needle moving in multiple areas in my life and business, I have had some powerful and insightful conversations that each week have given me a fire making me feel truly unstoppable in my business Ben is an amazing coach and listener! The 10 X tribe has been the perfect addition to my business! Thankyou so much!

Ben is a world-class coach and a master at his craft. His knowledge and ability to help you apply what you learn with ease is second to none. What he helped me to see was being a generalist life coach was unhelpful. He helped to innovate and recreate my business with a 10 x goal that helped me ditch everything in my business that wasn't working. He helped me to see what I am great at and how to create pathways and partnerships to achieve my goal. Ben is great at helping you strategise and break down what you need to do into small steps. He can help you create both the big vision and the strategy towards it. I loved working with him in the momentum container. This is one of the most powerful and inspiring groups I have been a part of. Thank you Ben, I loved it and will be back for the Dubai Deep Dive

My name is Don, and I’m a lead software engineer working in a startup. I have had issues with stepping up, speaking my thoughts and being a leader, not only in my work but in relationships. I would fear and struggle having tough conversations and expressing what I really want. After a few sessions with Ben, he helped me find my voice, by challenging me on my beliefs and showing me frameworks on how to have difficult conversations that I would avoid. Ben showed me how to speak with colleagues and loved ones with honesty and candor, but coming from a loving place without fear of what they may think or say. As a result, I landed a promotion at work from a simple conversation using the framework. I have also improved my relationship by being more open and honest. I’m no longer stuck in my head, I am opening up, saying what I think, and I and my partner feel closer and happier as a result. Thanks Ben!

Ben Owen is a very special human being. And that's a big part of what makes him a very special coach.  In a world where people are mostly looking after themselves, Ben makes space for other people in unique and generous ways.  In a world marked by frantic activity and ladder climbing, Ben helps his clients, especially leaders, identify and eliminate distractions and noise, so they can discover the best hidden parts of themselves. And in a world marked by increasing numbers of leaders who don't have a moral compass, Ben Owen helps all his clients remain true to who they were created to be so they can lead from an authentic place of love, generosity, and hospitality. It is possible to do this without bringing other people down and Ben knows how. He does it everyday. I am a coach myself, working on a doctorate in leadership so I know a good coach when I meet one. And when I need another set of ears and eyes to help me remember who I am and why I'm here, Ben is my first choice coach.  If you get the chance to work with Ben in any capacity, do it. 

I came to coaching as a result of frustration I felt being in a place I couldn’t find a way out of. I was stuck and willing to try anything to change the status quo; dissatisfied and caught up in a negative cycle and yo-yo of emotion. I said YES to coach with Ben, and committed to 1-2-1 coaching. I learned a lot of home truths and new ways of viewing things: I had ownership of my life: choice, what the important things to me were vs. other's expectations, to be BOLD, to choose how to live my life in the everyday actions, creating a lifestyle aligned to and moving me closer to achieving my goals. The ways of being which had worked before and which had got me here weren't serving me any longer: they wouldn't help me get to where I want to go. Through coaching with Ben, I fell back in love with my career, started my own coaching practice, signed up to a 2yr Coaching Certification, and am continuing on a journey to understand myself and what I want. I'm now open to therapy and see it as crucial to my growth and development both as a person and coach. Thank you to Ben for his powerful, unapologetic and insightful coaching, which has helped me re-find myself, my purpose, and taught me new tools to continue to 'level up'.

As a busy professional who has no trouble acting on her impulses and asking for help when she needs it (following years of in-depth personal work), I was looking for a group of like-minded professionals to work with as I navigated a new chapter of my career and life. I had spoken to Ben a few times over the past 9-12 months, and when he contacted me about the 10X mastermind, I knew it was my time to jump in. What I liked about the 10X group was that it was a mixed group at a level where I felt I could give more than I took, helping each other develop and move forward. I didn't expect the courage Ben and the team instilled in me. Ben's knowledge solidified my journey, and the opportunities arising from committing to this process have been more than I could have imagined. Not only have I left my corporate career and created a portfolio of income streams, but I have also committed to private education for my children and spent more time doing the things I love, some of which I haven't done since I was a toddler. (Hello, painting with my children on a Sunday afternoon and Chasing muddy puddles on a Saturday morning). Overall, my life score has risen (I'm always a KPI girl). If you're looking to improve your life in every way, I highly recommend investing in Ben and his masterminds, absolutely zero regrets.

I'm the founder and MD of a boutique executive search and advisory firm working with CEOs, boards, and investors. I wasn’t looking for motivation or surface level coaching. I wanted clarity, depth, and a more structured understanding of what was really driving certain patterns so I could operate at a higher level, more consistently. Working with Ben has been both psychologically safe and intellectually rigorous. He has a curious nature, doesn’t sugarcoat, but he’s never judgmental. His work is about insight, ownership, and practical change. You feel properly seen and understood, not analysed from a distance nor given generic thoughts. The biggest shift for me has been developing self-awareness about what I would call 'comfort zone habits and actions'. I now recognise patterns much earlier, regulate myself better under pressure, and make decisions from a calmer, more grounded place. That is already having a direct impact on my business. I’m clearer, more focused, and less reactive. Conversations are more honest. Boundaries are healthier. And I operate with far more emotional resilience and intention. I certainly feel more 'at ease' with myself. If you’re serious about operating at a high level, not just professionally, but personally, and how you actually show up when it matters, I’d strongly recommend working with Ben.

I recently attended Masterful Leadership University in Dubai with Ben, and it came at exactly the right time. My business was moving forward, the team were performing well, and from the outside everything looked strong. But as any leader knows, growth brings new levels of responsibility and pressure. I wanted to step back, think bigger and ensure I was operating at the level the next phase of my business demands. What Ben does brilliantly is create space for real thinking. He has a way of challenging you whilst making it clear he’s fully in your corner. He calls you up, not out. He raises your standards, expands what you believe is possible and supports you as you step into it. The calibre of people in the room, combined with the depth of conversation, makes it incredibly powerful. The biggest shift for me was rediscovering my core purpose and reconnecting with why I’m building what I’m building. From that place, I set some genuinely ambitious 10x goals that have completely reframed my focus. Not in a reckless way, but in a clear, strategic and energised way. My mindset has shifted from incremental improvement to transformational growth. I came back clearer, calmer and more decisive, with a renewed sense of direction and belief. It hasn’t changed who I am as a leader, but it has elevated the standard I expect from myself. If you’re serious about growth and prepared to be challenged, this experience is incredibly valuable.

My name is Aled Hughes. I work as a FIFA football analyst and I’m building a business called Beyond 90 Analysis, focused on helping football clubs and players make better decisions through clarity and performance insight. I came into the Dubai workshop with big ambition but scattered focus. I knew I wanted to build something meaningful, but I was pulled in too many directions and didn’t have a clear 10x vision or personal standard for how I wanted to operate day to day. I wanted clarity on what I was actually building, who I needed to become to build it, and what I should be prioritising. The biggest value in working with Ben is that he goes straight to identity and standards, not just surface-level strategy. The deep dive forced me to confront where I’d been drifting, where I’d been playing safe, and where I’d been telling myself stories that weren’t actually true. It was uncomfortable in the right way, but exactly what I needed. The biggest shift for me was reconnecting with who I was when I was younger – driven, fit, ambitious, and willing to chase big goals. Somewhere along the way I’d normalised stability over growth. The workshop helped me reset that. I left with a clear 10x vision for Beyond 90, higher standards for my health and daily routines, and a much stronger sense of personal direction. More than anything, I left feeling clear again. Clear on what I’m building, clear on the level I expect from myself, and clear on the fact that drifting isn’t an option if I’m serious about creating something meaningful.

The past 3 days have comforted me, pushed me, challenged me and changed me. Changed me in ways that I never ever thought I could change. This journey to achieving my 10x goal became more personal than business. If I get to achieve my personal 10x, become my future self, that would trickle down in to my work and it would be inevitable that I 10x my business. But here's the true version. This experience broke down versions of me that left me so vulnerable that I wanted to quit, right there on the spot.... It left me questioning myself and everything I do or stand for. It left me asking myself who am I, who the hell am I to think I can be this bold... Well here I am, I am living the future version of myself, I am building my business from a place of absolute strength and courage, I am being who I am destined to be, all thanks to not giving up and the support that was shown in this program. Ben is an INCREDIBLE human, teacher and leader, many can learn from him. He created a space of unfathomable safety, calm and respect, where not just me, but some very powerful and successful business owners could be our true vulnerable selves, where no judgment was passed, but support built from sharing more. We learnt, we cried, we powered through, we expanded our thinking and expanded our being. This is not a "goal setting" exercise, this is a LIFE exercise, a life that only the courageous can endure, one that I am proud to say I am part of! Thank you Ben for showing us all in that room that courage builds confidence, and that with commitment (no matter how big or small) we can all be our future 10x selves!
