Personal Stuff

In these times of massive change, you need someone who can help you adjust and transform, meeting the challenge to change and grow effectively in your relationships and business process - change management especially.

My mission: provide leading-edge personal and business development services. My conviction to excellence in education and business synergize powerful tools for coaching, consulting, strategic planning and partnering workshops. The latter (my favorite) includes aerospace (programs), construction (road & bridge), education (curriculum), events (large public) as well as performing arts and radio/television production. 

Past successes include a 45% market penetration increase for a health food company, a 20% increase in on-time shipments for an aerospace company and a leadership role in the inclusion of Native American elements in the Steele Indian School Park master plan.

Facilitating partnering and team building processes, I use a 'Tao of Business' approach which balances the hard science and soft skills necessary to access "The Secret of Doing Business in the 21st Century." Collaboration and communication are the keys to success in any environment. Possibilities coagulation happens when the framework is in place... its one of my deliverables.

Possibilities Coagulator - Transformational Coach

Be The Dream LLC
First off, I have to give Dudley Lynch credit for my title of 'Possibilities Coagulator.' He came up with the 'title' after a period of engagement and I ran with it. Look him up here, Brain Technologies, Inc. is a leader in organizational development. As a Transformational Coach I facilitate life-changing activities in others and self. My work here also spans multiple dimensions of craftsmanship, molding possibilities into reality. I craft curriculum, build websites, manage digital marketing campaigns, assist self-publishers, manage small to large events, produce presentations and more for my clients. Philosophy: Changing how we think is tantamount to changing our results. Coagulation means that in the process of creation we take the fluid thoughts and condense or crystallize them into working plans and results. Bridging state-of-the-art business management and coaching practices provide clients with opportunity and reason for change - increasing their bottom line and company morale. We help those who have dreams to mold future realities into achieving them. A primary goal is facilitating deliberate creating, making the work fun and insightful while providing value-added features not found in traditional coaching environments. Dreams present possibilities to coagulate; attract and solidify resources for you. Goals are dreams with deadlines. Deadlines and commitments realized are what drive success. Relationships are built to sail the ocean of emotion, yet navigation with last century's mindset often yields disastrous results. We help align your vision, mission, passion and purpose for maximum results. Companies using the new millennium mindset (self-empowered learning organizations) recognize the need for inspiration in their workforce and/or staff. Be The Dream, LLC offers practical services with a transformational twist, creating collaborative scripts toward higher productivity across the gamut of deliverables... possibilities and responsibilities.

"Do not hire Zen if you will settle for traditional guidance with no surprises.jack dermody Don't hire Zen if you merely aim to fulfill some education requirement. You see, Zen is no ordinary consultant or facilitator. Do you have any idea how rare it is to find this kind of genius -- a distinguished guru who is a Gandhi-esque idealist and who also happens to have his feet firmly planted on the ground? In just a few hours. Zen turned around my website and social media from mediocre to amazing. I kept asking myself why I hadn't thought of all the stuff he did. But that's why I hired him. He saw through the trees and helped me back onto my mission. So hire Zen because you know you need new information. You know you need to think differently. You realize you had better stop doing what you've been doing wrong for too long. And most of all, you can be sure that Zen will deliver the practical tools that will enable you to succeed at higher levels. Do not be ordinary. Hire Zen."

KC Miller, Southwest Institute of Healing Arts

"Zen Benefiel is a man of great ideas and passion. You will never find Zen in a box ~ "Out of the Box" thinking is one of his best attributes. He is a wonderful motivational speaker and workshop leader. A few years ago I had the opportunity to bring him in to work with a staff of 15 people for Team Building. He did an outstanding job ~ so much so we still use the information as a benchmark for communication.”

Dudley Lynch, Brain Technologies, Inc.

"I consider Zen to be one of those superlative examples of what the human brain can store and serve up in unique and appealing ways at will on most any occasion or assignment. To say his range of knowledge and interests are "eclectic" is engaging in understatement. And this is what makes his services as a "possibilities coagulator" for his clients so valuable and exciting. Smart fellow! Great ally!"
