Testimonials

"On behalf of Carnegie Mellon's Seattle alumni chapter at Microsoft - many thanks for conducting your workshop!  It is a fresh perspective!"
-Microsoft IT FTE

"Ben intelligently leverages the tenets of theatre and art to a room full of professionals from diverse backgrounds. It was good to be reminded of simple, balancing principles in an engaging modality that facilitates more understanding than normal presentations and talks."
 – Shrutee Tepper – Amazon Product Manager

"Taking Ben’s workshops and classes at UWB was a very positive  experience for me.  It went over a lot of techniques and skills that actors use in their craft that can be applied to everyday life.  It helped me improve conversations with my boss, colleagues, and customers."
– Monica Taylor. Kinesiology & Exercise Science student, University of Washington

"Thanks for the workshops!  They have followed me and for that I’m grateful to you, sir!  I’m now leading without being called the leader." 
– Randee Lamb, University of Washington

"Ben helped me in a lot of ways from having more confidence to a whole new self discovery."
– Steve Song, Seattle Actor
