Here's a comment I received this morning:
"Ben shows us that opening up our own vulnerabilities, allows us to have the empathy,
compassion and purpose to help others on their journey to problem solving to hopefully
make choices for the greater good. We need lots of Ben's in this world."
 
Ben's conversation covers his new enterprise called Cards Of Life, which is a coaching
programme; he talks about how developing coaching skills empowered him along the way;
Phone Savvy was a brilliant telecoms enterprise he developed while inside, which within
three months had established itself in prisons across the country then went international;
he spoke about SVI (Shame/Violence Intervention), a respected therapeutic approach to
working with violent offenders which was brought to a halt after ten years of beneficial
practice in HMP Wandsworth ... and more. Ben is full of insights and challenging aphorisms,
e.g. "Pain is just weakness leaving the body."
 
Ben and I talked for just over the hour. An hour well spent.
 
If you give it a go, please leave a comment, like, subscribe etc. It all helps to promote
these positive stories which ideally would end up in front of young people too.
 
Thanks in anticipation,
 
Chris

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
