When I started working with Ben, I had been in the US Navy for almost four years and thought I had it all figured out (I didn't). But rather than point that out (or how ridiculous that was), Ben just smiled and asked me what my goals were, using pointed questions to help me see where I had described something in vague or unmeasurable terms, helping me fill in the blanks. Over the next two years, Ben did something no one had done for me before (or in the same way since): he supported my growth by holding me accountable, not to him, but to me. Even though that was over a decade ago, I still remember how our check-ins dramatically shifted from brutally honest to mutually supportive and relentlessly encouraging. In teaching me the importance of accountability to personal growth, Ben helped me learn to continuously test assumptions, reach farther, and expect more of myself and others. Working with Ben significantly and positively shifted my career trajectory, helping me get where I wanted to go in the Navy and beyond, unfazed by the challenges ahead.
