Inner Chaos to Cohesive Impact in 90 Days – an Evolutionary Leap for You
Highly capable, conscious people feel called to something bigger —but are stuck in confusion, fragmentation, or quiet burnout and don’t know how to translate insight into aligned action. The question is: how long are you willing to stay there?

Be The Dream is a transformational coaching space for highly capable, conscious individuals ready to move from insight into aligned action. Whether you arrive through a focused Breakthrough, a grounding 30-Day container, a deeper evolutionary Evo-Leap, or collaborative exploration in a Workgroup, each pathway is designed to restore clarity, coherence, and forward momentum. FAQs offer orientation for those discerning their next step, while Books and Resources extend reflection, perspective, and practical tools beyond the session space. For organizations, events, and communities seeking embodied leadership and meaningful dialogue, Guest/Speaker engagements bring these principles into shared experience. Every entry point is intentionally connected—guiding you from awareness to commitment, and ultimately toward the choice to Be The Dream—Yours. We don’t chase leads or run drip campaigns; it feels right or it doesn’t.
Simply put, you're the best life and business coach I've ever experienced.
Always stimulating my process and my path in life and business, you make things clear as you explain a multidimensional picture of life. You really helped and supported me in creating change in my life, nurturing and universally accepting of me. I've known a lot of people in my life, 25 years in the Insurance business, who claim to be coaches. They don't hold a candle to you, Zen.
Zen is extremely intelligent and sees things on levels that most people do not.
Zen helped me sift through my thoughts and goals so I could better achieve them. He helped me to expand my awareness for things within me and around me and use them as guides in daily living. With Zen's guidance I was able to move closer to my "dreams" with my career and see positive changes in many areas of my life that I had always hoped for.
His innate insights have given me both knowledge and an inner understanding of myself
As a chiropractor and business owner, I’ve hired several business coaches that had a lot of information and little actual help in accomplishing goals and objectives. In just 3 months Zen has helped me with focus, stress reduction, how to be more productive and communicating with others, just to mention a few results.
I greatly admire him for his capacity to live and embody the very things he believes in.
In all my years of work around the world, I have encountered many people who teach and preach about global unity and creating a healthy, peaceful world, but don't seem to really walk their talk. Not Zen! I greatly admire him for his capacity to live and embody the very things he believes in.
This is a rare trait, and should be greatly respected and admired. His humbleness, his joy, his genuine passion, his curiosity is contagious, and is a direct result of his decades of pursuit for truth and healing.
...to hear what is being said and not being said is REMARKABLE.
It was so refreshing to discuss all that we did about REAL LIFE...all the things that are behind the highlight reels of Social Media.
If you want to be a part of a show that is impacting others with the hard truths with actionable ways to continue to grow and stretch beyond your comfort zone then I recommend you connect with Zen.
a kind spiritual George Carlin!
Zen Benefiel is profoundly insightful and seriously funny— a kind spiritual George Carlin! His unique ability to blend profound kindness with a no-nonsense attitude is truly a rare and refreshing combination. His perspective is shaped by a one-of-a-kind life journey that has infused his perspective with a sense of wisdom, joy and authenticity.
Zen is very wise and experienced
“I had a great, open-ended conversation with Zen which pushed me in a direction that I needed to be pushed which was a great gift. Zen is very wise and experienced and will help you align with where you want to be, and what you need to do to get there. He is also a very generous, intuitive and honest coach which is clear in his practice. This gives clients a great space to be themselves and to reorient in.”
A man who lives up to his name and all his many titles.
