tAlent development. Elite performance. Growth.
Talent doesn’t develop into performance through generic training sessions.
Elite Performance is not for everybody.
Growth is not held hostage by market conditions.
Hi, I’m Rich BENSON
Elite Performance is not a magic trick, or some unreachable dream; it is the inevitable result of following the correct processes.
My passion for the last 12 years has been developing elite performers. Clients engage me when they are striving to access a higher level of success through developing their ability in one of the following areas:
- Revenue generation/ financial performance
- Growing teams
- Building an L&D and Talent strategy
- Delivering impactful public speaking
- Delivering projects successfully; on time and on budget
- Executing difficult changes within their teams
Working collaboratively with clients I develop a deep understanding of their desired destination and the roadblocks that seem to be in their path.
COURSES
My courses have been developed over many years and all have a common theme – real behavioural change.
Like most people I hate the idea of being in yet another generic training course that takes away from the many other things I need to achieve, so I operate on a Just In Time approach where we deliver training right when it’s needed and don’t spend time on anything unless it will provide immediate value to you and your business.
I offer a range of courses in the following areas:
Leadership
Public Speaking
Change Management
L&D Fundamentals
COACHING
Working with a coach is not always easy. Great quality coaching involves questioning everything that you do and seeking the fastest and most sustainable route to your goals through behavioural change.
My approach always starts with defining a really clear vision of your destination and creating a strategic roadmap of changes you need to make in your behaviours, how you spend your time, how you are investing in yourself to execute on that strategy.
The areas that I focus on in my coaching practice are as follow:
Coaching for Leaders
Coaching for Elite Performance
Coaching for Career Transition
Coaching for Teams
CONSULTANCY
I partner with businesses looking to implement or rebuild a Learning & Development strategy for their people as well as Talent Acquisition & Retention Strategy.
Going through a full ADDIE cycle together we’ll create a programme that leads to consistent, predictable and repeatable performance from your team.
Consulting Packages are always bespoke, but here are some examples of the areas I most commonly partner with clients on:
Onboarding L&D Programmes
Leadership L&D Programmes
Talent Acquisition & Retention
LMS/LXP Implementation
My Approach
The developmental processes I have crafted through supporting thousands of high-performing Business Unit Leaders, SDRs, BDMs, Negotiators, Headhunters and Founders and others to grow their careers is a challenging one.

What My CLients Are Saying
“I was referred to Rich through a mutual connection when looking for support in building a Learning & Development package for my growing tech recruitment and digital transformation business.
I engaged Rich’s L&D Consultancy Services and also participated in some of his courses as part of this L&D package build. Over a period of several months, Rich and I have worked extremely closely to produce a best-in-class L&D offering with a clear goal in mind; generating elite performance from my staff.
Working with Rich has been a huge benefit to my business and we have grown as a result. He is commercially minded and works to achieve real results, not just generic training. His expertise as well as his commitment to the project have been a great asset, I have also attended Rich’s L&D FUndamentals Course (along with my second in command) and am continuing to work with him now as a coach and consultant to my business.”

“Rich, Supported me with a presentation that I was delivering to 80 of my peers at an exhibition. Nervous did not even begin to cover my feelings at the beginning of the process. by the time we had rehearsed the content and fine tuned the performance, the speech was unrecognisable. As a direct result of working with Rich, I have been able to secure additional clients and grown exponentially in confidence in this area. Thank you, Rich.“

“Without Rich and his world-class coaching I don’t think I would have found my confidence, believed in myself and secured my new job. Through Rich’s coaching and mentoring I have learnt that I am capable and able of achieving great results, that I have a varied range of skills and knowledge that I can use in a multitude of industries and that with a little bit of self belief, drive and determination I could get the job I wanted. (Which I did!).”

“Throughout the course that me and Rich went through, he was genuinely interested in things that I had been up to and takes interest in YOU as a person, and doesn’t just see you as a “client” and it didn’t take long for me to feel that we had actually become friends.
I cannot recommend Rich highly enough, if you have any interest in being coached or mentored in any area that you feel you could improve, then absolutely get in touch with him.”

“Rich went above and beyond and made a daunting and scary situation pain free and I owe him so much for this. I couldn’t thank him enough and I will forever be in his debt. A great guy who is truly a fountain of knowledge.”

“I do not have the words to describe my gratitude at the selflessness that Rich has shown during the process of coaching me. Rich has been meticulous in his mentorship, guiding me through my interviews and giving specific support in order to help me secure the roles that I was applying for. Rich has enriched my knowledge of the L&D world and given me the confidence to go forth in my new role and for all this, I am so grateful. “
