Bill Benjamin Biography
Bill Benjamin has a rare perspective – he has advanced degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science and has 25 years of real-world business experience as a senior leader. Benjamin is very authentic about the fact that he struggled early in his career as a leader when he was under pressure. He shares how he has been able to apply the very same techniques he teaches to become a better leader (and husband and father) himself.
In addition to using his background in sales to motivate and inspire audiences, Benjamin leverages his Mathematics and technical background to take a practical and scientific approach to helping people understand how the brain responds under pressure, and how that can help increase leadership and performance. Benjamin is a partner at the Institute for Health and Human Potential (IHHP), a successful international research and training company, named one of the “Fastest Growing Companies” in the “Fast 100” ranking in PROFIT Magazine. Benjamin also contributed to the New York Times and Amazon bestselling book Performing Under Pressure, co-authored by IHHP’s JP Pawliw-Fry and noted psychologist Hendrie Weisinger.
The combination of Benjamin's practical nature and scientific approach to leadership make him a hit with analytical audiences. His high energy level and enthusiasm has resulted in a successful track record with discerning audiences that include surgeons, U.S Marines and NASA engineers.

Bill Benjamin Speaking Topics
You need to move fast, adapt to a changing environment, and deliver performance, yet your team is moving too slow when it comes to making tough decisions and are avoiding the more challenging conversations that drive results. What is at the heart of high performance is culture. Unfortunately, most leaders misunderstand culture; they believe culture exists across the organization; it doesn’t. It exists primarily on teams.
In this powerful virtual or live keynote, your team will learn the results from our study of 72,000 people that is published in the Harvard Business Review, which puts your managers and people leaders at the center of building your culture. Your people will learn specific tools to own and model the culture on their team in the critical moments, what we call Last 8% moments, that create culture. The Last 8% are those tougher conversations and decisions that many people struggle with and avoid, but are the secret to driving team performance.
In this impactful program, your team will learn:
= What the two pillars of a high performing culture are: High Connection (psychological safety) and High Courage (ability to do hard things skillfully) - Emotional Intelligence-based tools to be their best in Last 8% Situations - How to influence & engage others who are at a distance and create the conditions to keep the best and brightest
For many leaders, the topic of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) sounds soft and squishy. Yet research is clear that it’s a critical competency for effective leadership and building great cultures.
With his advanced degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, Bill Benjamin was initially skeptical about EQ and any type of “soft skill” training. In this keynote, he shares his struggles early in his career as a leader, and how the EQ-based insights and strategies he teaches helped him manage his emotions so he could be more effective, empathetic (yes, you will learn empathy from a math guy!) and engaging, both at work and at home – and how it can help your team.
In this powerful program your team will learn:
- The analytics that show Emotional Intelligence is a critical competency for building great leaders
- The two key EQ-based pillars of Culture: Connection and Courage (based on a research study of 72,000 people)
- The research behind the Last 8% and why those moments matter than others
- The brain science of emotions that drive yours and others’ behaviors
- Strategies to manage your emotions and demonstrate empathy, even in Last 8% moments
- With the combination of Bill’s analytical background and passionate speaking style, he has been able to engage highly technical and discerning audiences at NASA, The Federal Reserve Bank, Amazon Web Services, and teams of surgeons.
Your people are facing the biggest challenge of their careers, yet most continue to rely on their IQ and technical skills to manage through it all. It’s not enough.
To survive, your organization needs to be agile in the midst of change and challenge, and see opportunities where others do not. Your team needs to learn how to work effectively with others who are, themselves, under pressure.
In this powerful program, your team members will learn:
- Specific tools learned from working with high performers under pressure in the NFL, NBA, Olympic teams, Navy SEALs, Goldman Sachs, Intel, among others, to be more adaptable, resilient, collaborative and opportunistic
- How to manage their brain so they can think, perform and lead effectively under pressure
- The single most important daily habit that increases focus and decreases burnout
- Strategies to help their teams perform in the face of the pressure they face
- This program is based on a 12,000-person study conducted for our New York Times best-selling book, Performing Under Pressure, which is available in 65 countries.
This session can be delivered for sales people and sales teams, focusing on helping them harness emotional intelligence to deal with pressure, build stronger relationships with their clients, collaborate internally and deal with the setbacks and uncertainty that sales people must overcome to be successful.
