After finishing his studies in History at the University of Wisconsin in the United States, Benjamin Solomon felt a strong pull to the European continent and specifically to France.

In the late 1990’s, he established an English language and communications training company in Paris offering his services to managers, directors, and teams within French companies and law firms.

In 2016, Benjamin moved into the coaching space having identified a strong need with his clients to support them specifically around professional development goals and challenges. Since 2018, he has also been working as a professional certified coach.

What excites him most about coaching and training is working in partnership with clients to bring about real change in their professional and, sometimes, personal lives. As they tackle the complexities and challenges they face and ultimately grow and achieve the results they seek, he is continually grateful for their honesty, courage and confidence which in turn allows him to grow as well.

Being a life-long learner and curious about team development, Benjamin became interested in various methods and approaches to supporting teams and groups.

Certified in the collective intelligence method, Action Learning, he coaches teams needing to solve complex problems while learning, growing and developing leadership skills at the same time.

Also certified in Coach Poker Management, Benjamin uses the game of Poker as a pretext for a group of individuals to explore and experiment with new behaviors, emotions and thinking around management.

Ben supports teams by helping them create environments where team members feel comfortable with interpersonal risk-taking. Indeed, as a Team Psychological Safety certified practitioner, he gets teams to value learning opportunities which, in turn, contributes to their boosting team performance.
