For thoughtful, curious men, who lead with strength and humility (well, some of the time…).
Leading - at home and work - isn’t just about confidence. It’s about clarity.
Presence. Knowing when to listen, when to act and when to step back.
Most days, you do this well. But some moments knock you off track. A tough conversation. A decision doesn’t go your way. Money lost. A challenge lingers. The kids annoy you.
LeanMind helps you reset - fast.
A set of tools and teachings, video and audio downloadable to your phone, to practise whenever you can or need.
And an international community to learn from and with - all people like you, trying to think clearly, act calmly and lead wisely.
Ben’s tools and techniques are my fast track back to clarity and calm, whatever struggle, challenge or complexity we’re wrestling with on the start up journey - of which there are many, daily!

Your leadership first aid kit
3 sets of tools and rituals.

Set Two - reframe triggers, patterns and problems.
Set Three - a ‘pathway to peace’, rituals and community helping you to calm, clear and wise.
Tools And Rituals
Set 1
Develop your ‘pause-ability’
A difficult conversation throws you, or you’re overwhelmed, or stuck in a ruminating mind loop?
Finding the moment of pause between their words and yours, their action and your reaction, is the foundation on which all else sits. These tools gift you that pause.
These are ancient techniques from Buddism and Daoism made relevant to the contemporary work or home place.
These might complement your own techniques, if you have any, or lend you a foundation if you don’t.
Too busy to meditate? Then these for you!
Set 2
Reframe and Refocus
If Michael Jordan and the Buddha had a love child, these tools be them; elite performance meets ancient wisdom.
Tools to help you balance your inner ‘redhead and blue’, tools to find the Middle Way between striving and stress, between being and doing, between busy and an effortless ease and action. Tools to reveal your triggers and patterns. Tools to taste simplicty, clarity and calm.
Short and pithy, available and accessible, these keep you the right side of calm in the most challenging moments - with your kids, colleagues or clients.
Set 3
Your Pathway to peace
If the above tools help you taste simplicity, clarity and calm, the pathway - a set of rituals to practise daily or weekly - keep you there. These are writing practises, daily reflections and activities requiring just a few minutes each day. That - and the opportunity to practise with the Wise Leader community, a group of wise souls, people like you, practising the art of clearer, calmer, wiser each day, week and month.
