His advice on potential solutions always integrates theory, research, and data while staying grounded in the realities of how people and organizations function. Working with Ben, I have implemented improvements in areas including interviewing, development, training, and performance management at my organization.”

Judith Matthews
Special Collections Librarian / Metropolitan Library System, Oklahoma City, OK
“Ben Mead-Harvey showed me how to make feedback and growth an exciting opportunity, not just for myself, but for those I led. Ben understands that trust is key when developing employees, and he knows how to create an open and responsive workplace. He brought a different outlook to our work relationship—one not focused solely on the “what” of projects, but broadly examined how we would use each conversation, each day, each week to gain a better understanding of how we performed as a team.”
“Ben is a fantastic teacher, and everything he has to say is valuable.”
