Ben Sands

Executive Coach + Founder, Sands Leadership

Washington, D.C.

Ben Sands is an "executive coach," but hates that title. He’s a "professional speaker" too, but cringes at the term.

Most accurately, Ben's a life-long learner, obsessed with helping the most talented men and women in the world improve in their ability to make great decisions and become leaders with lasting impact.

His Big, Hairy, Audacious, Goal? A world in which more men and women wake up, every day, energized and excited by the work they do and the life they live.

In other words, he wants to create a world full of more, healthy, engaged, high-performing companies, families and communities.

So far, so good?

Ben has worked with the rising leaders at a bunch of big companies – Morgan Stanley, Disney, Microsoft and Duke University, among others — and a bunch of small ones, too.

The common denominator among these organizations: they are all led by men and women who believe that their company can make the world a better place and recognize the importance of leadership development in making that happen.

Before he got into coaching, Ben spent a decade as a management consultant — helping companies, large and small, set strategy, cut costs and improve performance. He loved it and that work became the foundation for what he does today.
