How to Give Advice

Learn what works when somebody has a decision to make — and you want them to consider your point of view.

“Ben changed how I work and taught me more than any other colleague I’ve ever had.”

Lydia Gilbertson, Consultant

Speak and be heard

Your experience can help someone — whether in graphic design, marketing, business, or even choosing which brunch spot to hit. Learn an intentional approach to advice-giving and expand your influence.

Stop avoiding conflict

When you don't say what you really think, the conversation can't move forward. How can you resolve your concerns if you haven't shared them? The more you share, the easier you'll find it to keep sharing.

Be an original

Only you see through your eyes. When you are confidently authentic, people can see you as you see yourself. And when you open yourself to other people’s perspectives, they may share amazing things with you.

“To put it simply: I wouldn't be the consultant I am today without his help and mentoring.”

Sergey Stefoglo, VP Operations

Four simple habits

I’ve organized this course as four lessons, each of which teaches a single habit. Together, these habits allow — and encourage — you to share your point of view in any conversation.

When you use these habits, you will immediately experience changes in your conversations and relationships. These new experiences form a foundation for more practice and growth. Students report finding it incredibly motivating to see that change.

A tested approach

I honed How to Give Advice over 10,000+ hours billed as a consultant, or “professional advice-giver.”

In that time, I led over 100 workshops on client skills and refined my method through a dozen live presentations of the course before bringing it to you. I can't wait to see what you accomplish with these skills.

“Ben is fantastic at helping people see the root issue instead of just the symptoms. I would absolutely recommend working with him if you get the chance!”

Laurel Taylor, Group Account Director

FAQs

Who will benefit from this course?

While the course uses language and scenarios from the professional world, anyone can learn to communicate more effectively with the habits outlined in these lessons.

When do you anticipate the course launching?

I plan to launch the course on October 25, 2022.

How long is the course?

The course contains a total of over two hours of video lessons, as well as numerous supporting exercises.

I recommend setting aside four two-hour blocks of time, for a total of eight hours. Separating each lesson by at least a week will help you put the four habits to work faster and with greater skill.

What if the course isn’t for me?

I want this course to be as helpful to you as it has been to so many of my colleagues and friends. If you don't find it a good fit, let me know within 60 days and I will refund your purchase unconditionally.

“Ben is an outstanding consultant. On top of being wicked smart, he is just an all-around great guy.”

Sarah Marie Howe, Global People and Culture Lead

“Ben made a step-change difference in the consulting skills of the team he coached and left a lasting legacy of shared language, tools, and approaches.”

Will Critchlow, CEO

Hello 👋 I’m Ben

While billing over 10,000 hours as a consultant, I wondered: what kind of advice succeeds? What do you do when somebody has a decision to make, and you want them to consider your point of view?

Through diligent iteration, I sifted what works from what doesn’t. Now I’d like to teach you what I learned.

My new course, How to Give Advice, launches on October 25.
