Ben and his work have been featured in the Herald-Sun newspaper and on ABC Radio.

Many of his strategies to improve behaviour and classroom dynamics in schools are grounded in a deep understanding of neuroscience, child development and psychology.

Ben is the Managing Director of Education Economy, an education consulting business focused on ensuring that education professionals do not face diminished health and wellbeing outcomes as an outcome of doing what they love!

Ben is also a children’s author of two books titled, “There’s a Spider in my Tummy” and “There’s a Buzzing Bee in my Head”, which both deal with a lot of the angst that young children can feel in unfamiliar situations.

Ben gets to know people and their stories and is passionate about advocating for change and refined practice. He brings both a systems perspective and frontline experience, which allows him to take a balanced approach to improving organisational efficiency, workforce productivity and employee quality of life.
