“Dr. Bena’s style and insights consistently produce an immediate positive result.” Jennifer P.

“This is my 3rd round of lifestyle and leadership coaching with Dr. Bena Long. I was a football player and as an athlete, I’m familiar with how effective coaching can be as a means to improving performance. I chose to work with Dr. Bena because I recognize the benefits of building a valuable support team for living my best life, both professionally and personally. 

The first round of coaching was all about my willingness to make a career pivot and I'm happy to say that I’ve landed my dream position. Dr. Bena helped me to step beyond my comfort zone to make a persuasive case for my advancement as a faculty member at an elite university.

During my second round of coaching, Dr. Bena helped me to get clear on how my lifestyle was impacting my level of performance in all aspects of my life. I was running at a very fast pace, stressed with work, and not making conscious choices when it came to my diet. With her guidance and coaching mastery, I’ve been able to make small changes that weren’t apparent to my resistant mind. As a result, I’ve developed much better habits and feel quite a bit more energy and vitality.

For my last round of coaching, I explored a painful relationship that I have with a family member.  With Dr. Bena’s gentle guidance, I have a new clarity with an entirely new perspective that I didn’t think was possible. She is an amazing coach with the ability to work at so many levels, all with a smile and a laugh. If you’re looking to make some positive and lasting changes in your life and career, I highly recommend working with Dr. Bena Long.”

You want performance edge

You are searching and have thought of trying yoga, prayer or even meditation, living on purpose but it all seems to hokey or new age-y. You want the benefits but in a way that fits your life and beliefs.

You are stepping into the unknown, new places that have never been navigated before. You deserve a coach that can show you how key practices integrate the best of you and practical ways to integrate these into your leadership and life.

Sometimes you have no clue.

I have your back and give you the support you need to keep your momentum moving forward.

You want more out of life. Next level stuff.

You have been practicing mind/body disciplines for years now, but frankly you are curious how mindfulness, yoga or even meditation have anything to do with your workplace. You have not figured out how to integrate it into your whole life, leadership and at work on your own terms. 

“I chose coaching again with Dr. Bena Long because I was looking for a better work-life balance and wanted to build capacity in myself to work more effectively and with more ease rather than stress. At the time I needed to determine if the job I was in was still a good fit and if there was a way for me to feel fulfilled in the role while also taking care of my family and not burning myself out. Because I had worked with Bena before and we shared some common social spaces, I hesitated that this familiarity would hinder honest feedback and progress. This turns out was never a problem. 

Bena was super flexible and able to pivot on a dime with whatever came up in a session. Our sessions were often challenging but filled with fun and play. Dr. Bena is very intuitive, making it possible for me to step out of the driver's seat, and trust she knows how to bring us further along the path. This coaching moved me from successfully problem-solving a current situation to visioning the next steps and what could be. 

Wherever you are in your career, there is always room for growth. Dr. Bena is able to hone in on that growing edge and help guide you around the obstacles to be more inspired, powerful, and peaceful in your life, not just your career.”
