"I think there is a way to beat the system. To work outside of it. To change the boundaries of work for myself and for everyone. To knock some sense into the people that are limiting their work and life..."

Dr. Benjamin Ritter, author of the award-winning, Amazon Best-Selling book “Becoming Fearless: 65 Strategies to Journey from Self-Doubt to Self-Mastery,” and founder of Live for Yourself Consulting, is an international leadership and career coach, Sr. Talent Management Consultant, Top Career Development and Executive Coaching Voice on LinkedIn, international speaker, values-geek, online instructor, and host of two podcasts; The Executive Podcast, and The Live Fearlessly Podcasts.

During his time as a healthcare executive and side hustling entrepreneur he was over worked and under-utilized, and despite his professional success didn’t feel successful. After much introspection he pivoted professionally and launched himself into the field of leadership development and personal empowerment.

The culmination of these events and his previous personal, professional, and educational experiences led him to create Live for Yourself (LFY) Consulting, a coaching/consulting company that is focused on leading and empowering intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs that feel overwhelmed, overworked, or under-utilized, create a career that they love.

His journey has taken him across the world working with senior leaders, intrapreneurs, and entrepreneurs, and speaking on various topics, including humanistic leadership, motivating leadership, and how to craft a job you love from a job you have.

With over twenty years of executive-level professional experience in Leadership and Talent Development, Ben has worked with and coached clients at some of the most well-known global organizations such as, Amazon, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coursera, DoorDash, Google, Fiserv, MayoClinic, Northwestern University, Pinterest, and Yelp.

LFY Consulting bases its coaching practices on the unique LIVE system© and the Three C’s of Self-Leadership©, which integrates doctoral level applied learning theory, and curriculum and leadership development research.

On the surface it’s rather simple. Coaching programs explore and define what you care about - your goals and values - then use that clarity to also create the confidence and control in your life that you need to feel fulfilled. Plus, they ensure that you understand the process so that you can lead yourself throughout the rest of your career and life.
