Coaching with Ben
Mindset. Resilience. Confidence.
Training the art of leaving your comfort zone — on purpose.
Ben Aldridge offers coaching for individuals and organisations who want to build resilience, confidence, and a stronger mindset — not through hype or positivity, but through practice.
His coaching is grounded in Stoic philosophy and the ancient idea of askesis: deliberate training through challenge. In simple terms, it’s about stepping outside your comfort zone in thoughtful, manageable ways — and learning how to respond better to fear, uncertainty, and discomfort when it shows up.
This is philosophy you can actually use.
Coaching for Individuals
This work is for people who want to feel more confident, capable, and in control of how they respond — especially when life feels uncomfortable.
Coaching may focus on:
Confidence, anxiety, and overthinking
Emotional control under pressure
Public speaking and visibility
Navigating change and uncertainty
Building resilience through small, deliberate challenges
Sessions combine conversation, philosophy, reflection, and optional comfort-zone challenges — some serious, some playful — all designed around the individual.
The aim isn’t to eliminate discomfort, but to get better at meeting it.
Coaching for Organisations
Ben also works with organisations who want resilient, confident people — not just busy teams.
This coaching helps individuals and groups:
Handle pressure and uncertainty more effectively
Communicate with greater confidence and clarity
Build emotional control and self-awareness
Strengthen trust, connection, and resilience
The work often blends talks, group sessions, reflection, and carefully designed challenges — creating experiences that are practical, memorable, and a little different from standard wellbeing programmes.
Coaching for Young People
Alongside adults and organisations, Ben uses this approach to work with teenagers and young people, particularly around confidence, anxiety, and key life transitions, informed and supported by his previous background working in education.
The tone is practical, human, and occasionally playful — because growth doesn’t have to be miserable to be meaningful.
