"Brian is an excellent listener and always has a positive perspective on any situation. He really supported me in my quest to find a healthy balance between my professional and personal life. I now have clarity and a deeper understanding of what a truly balanced life is."

"Brian brought clarity to some work related issues I was having. By asking the right questions he was able to help me pinpoint where I was having trouble moving forward. All is well now!"




"Brian volunteered to give a presentation to 20 adjudicated youth at a youth correctional facility. These are young men who have seen too much for their young ages, and as such are guarded and skeptical as a rule. I watched Brian disarm them with his genuineness, respect, and message of hope, and I continue to witness the power his presentation had in the lives of the young men I work with whom most of society has discarded as a lost cause. It seems to me that if we do not offer opportunities for reformation the youth will have no reason to change; Brian provided viable options to the youth by asking them to explore what was within instead of believing the messages from without."

"Brian's "Introduction to Balance" workshop is ideal for anyone desiring to get his/her life "back on track." This workshop not only helps assess where you are now, but most importantly...where you desire to be. Brian walks you through various aspects of your current life, helping you to identify those circumstances that actually impede your "being true to yourself." By virtue of identifying and re-focusing on those elements, which are aligned with your "true self" or "heart's desires," he shows us how we can re-align our lives into peace, harmony and true balance."

"I really enjoyed Brian's Balance Workshop. It was great! I loved learning that the keys to staying in balance are also the keys to feeling alive! I also loved that we completed a four-page worksheet, thus allowing us to have a tangible, take-home reminder of the great information that we learned. There was a perfect balance between the time listening to Mr. Benson and sharing our thoughts with the class. It was a great workshop and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in personal development. I look forward to attending another one of Brian's workshops in the future."

"Brian's workshop, "An Introduction to Balance" was very enjoyable and helpful. He encouraged the participants to take a close look at what activities, practices and routines are important to keep them in balance without making it about being selfish or self-centered. "Being in balance" helps us to be happier, more peaceful, and more productive and effective contributors to the community and to the world."

"Taking Brian's workshop was a commitment to myself. He gave me simple tools to take care of myself and the steps to help focus on my priorities. Brian helped me identify the areas that need more attention in my life and brought my strengths to view. I love the group forum and felt that I learned by sharing in a safe environment. It has been a pattern of mine to care for others, Brian reminded me that it starts with ourselves. I highly recommend Brian's books and workshop to anyone who is ready to work on themselves in a loving and gentle way.

"Brian Benson came to our church and did a class on balance for our teens. Through Brian's workshop our teens learned a lot about balance in their own lives. Even though it is important to give to others, we must remember to take care of ourselves as well, and Brian's workshop really helped us understand that! The youth had a great time and have told me how they were implementing some of the tools Brian taught them. Thank you so much Brian, for taking the time to come and present your workshop to our teen group."
