Workshops and Retreats
Create Space for the Conversations That Matter Most
Ben’s Enneagram workshop was excellent! I learned important things not only about myself, but also about other people in my life. This information will help me to better understand my own actions and also those of members of my community.

Most legal organizations spend their days solving problems.
Very few make time to step back, think together, and intentionally strengthen the way they lead, collaborate, and make decisions.
That’s where meaningful change begins.
Whether you’re bringing together a practice group, leadership team, executive committee, or an entire firm, a thoughtfully designed workshop or retreat creates the opportunity to pause, gain perspective, and return to your work with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and renewed momentum.
More Than a Presentation
Workshops and retreats that make a difference don’t simply deliver information.
- They change conversations.
- They help people see themselves—and one another—in new ways.
- They create the psychological safety to discuss issues that have been sitting beneath the surface.
- They generate practical insights that people begin applying immediately.
Every workshop and retreat is designed around your organization’s goals and challenges. Participants don’t simply leave with new ideas—they leave with a shared language, practical tools, and a renewed commitment to working together more effectively.
Common Workshop and Retreat Topics
Every engagement is customized, but popular experiences include:
Mastering the Inner Game of Practicing Law
Explore the habits, assumptions, and leadership capacities that distinguish attorneys who flourish from those who simply survive.
The Enneagram and Leadership
Develop greater self-awareness, strengthen communication, and better understand the motivations that shape how people think, lead, and relate to one another.
Building High-Performing Legal Teams
Learn practical strategies for increasing trust, improving collaboration, and creating healthier team dynamics.
Navigating Conflict with Confidence
Discover how to transform conflict from something people avoid into an opportunity for stronger relationships, better decisions, and healthier organizations.
Leadership Retreats and Strategic Planning
Create space for honest dialogue, stronger alignment, and meaningful decisions that move your organization forward.
If your team faces a unique challenge, I’ll work with you to design a completely customized experience.
What It’s Like to Work Together
No two organizations are alike.
That’s why I don’t deliver canned presentations.
Every engagement is designed around your people, your culture, and the outcomes you hope to achieve.
My role is to create an environment where people feel comfortable participating honestly while also being challenged to think differently.
The atmosphere is engaging, practical, interactive, and often surprisingly enjoyable. Participants consistently tell me they leave feeling more connected, more energized, and better equipped to navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead.
What Clients Say
“Working with the Enneagram with a group of 30–40 people, Ben walked through the material in a clear and concise way… He gave every person enough to know themselves. He doesn’t let one person dominate the conversation… There were no questions Ben couldn’t address.”
Paige Boyd
Former HR Executive
“Ben has the ability to make everybody in the room feel psychologically safe while hearing what they need to hear… By the end of the day we all came away with a clear understanding of our individual and collective strengths, and more deeply connected with one another.”
— Former Client
A Workshop Can Be the Beginning of Something Bigger
Sometimes a single day is exactly what’s needed.
Sometimes it becomes the catalyst for longer-term growth.
Many organizations begin with a workshop or leadership retreat and later choose to continue to embed the learning through executive coaching or team coaching. Others simply want a memorable, high-impact experience that equips their people with practical tools they can use immediately.
Either approach is a success.
The goal is the same: helping attorneys and legal organizations flourish.
