My path was unclear; complications had entered my life, my business and my thinking. Last week I was in the right place and received a consultation from Zen, he did not judge, he did not direct, he listened and helped me identify and separate my complications and show me my path. That is a very powerful ability to share with people.
THANKS ZEN!

“I had the good fortune to host Zen Benefiel on my podcast recently and what a pleasant surprise it was. Zen is well versed in the art of living and is able to share and communicate experiences, thoughts, ideas and concepts at a level you would expect from a seasoned practitioner. One word that describes Zen is eclectic. If you are looking for someone to talk to or read, about the who, what, why, when, where and hows of life, I recommend you reach out to Zen Benefiel.”

Zen Is An Exceptional Transformative Coach
Zen is an exceptional teacher, conceptualist and transformative coach. He has helped surround my limitations with awareness, showing me how to discover the nature of limitation itself. He has guided me to ask myself questions that empowered me to break on through to the other side. When you are ready to step bravely forward, enlist Zen’s help to ensure that you don’t fall back into old patterns and cheat yourself out of your potential. Zen knows the dynamics of that internal battle and can help you to stay accountable to yourself.

Highly intuitive, empathetic, personable
Seldom does one meet someone who can be called, “friend” and “spirit guide” breathlessly in the same sentence, but Zen fits the bill. I had a chance to work with him when I was the liason to the local learning & development chapter he captained, and even then, I knew Zen was a cut above. Highly intuitive, empathetic, personable and possessing a zest for knowledge and helping those around him, working with Zen in any capacity is an experience that will enrich your life immensely.

The Best!
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.

Jump on Zen’s Bandwagon
Zen is amazing. His insights are beyond almost anyone I’ve ever known. He is down to earth but understands that there is so much more than what meets the eye. Zen asks thought-provoking questions that make you look deep inside and bring out previously hidden truths. Zen is a leader, a dreamer, and a world changer, the best possible combination. I recommend Zen to anyone looking to know more about themselves and the universe surrounding them. If you desire to make the world a better place, jump on Zen’s bandwagon.

I don’t praise lightly or often.
When I do offer praise, especially when it’s public, I make sure I’ve had the experience to back up my words. Over the course of a year or more I’ve had the opportunity to engage almost daily with Zen Benefiel on many platforms of intellectual rigor as well as transformational themes. Zen doesn’t think outside the box, he *is* outside the box. Creativity, imagination, insight, curiosity & understanding are a few of the tools he employs to get to the heart of the matter. Transformational Life Coaching requires a professional who has coached himself, done the inner work, explored the questions. Now that professional is primed to help you – as he has helped me and many others. Perhaps you’ll consider contacting him to have a Discovery Chat and learn is this is the fit for you.

Smart fellow! Great ally!
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 understatement. And this is what makes his services as a “possibilities coagulator” for his clients so valuable and exciting.
