Slight Advantage is led by Ben Slight. An Executive Coach, Senior Leader, Consultant and Publisher with extensive experience in transformational leadership coaching, sales coaching, organisational and team development and emotional literacy, working with companies and individuals across the globe.

Ben learned his transformational GROW coaching approach from first-generation students of Sir John Whitmore, the original pioneer of Performance Coaching. He is a graduate of multiple programs in Coaching for Performance and Transformational Leadership by Sir John’s company Performance Consultants (PCI), where he also served on the board, leading sales, marketing and project delivery teams. His teams oversaw coaching and training for thousands of leaders in global companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Siemens, Medtronic, Collins Aerospace, Louis Vuitton, Allianz and many more. He remains an associate and ambassador for PCI’s work.

Ben learned the Inner Game methodology direct from Timothy Gallwey’s team, spending many hours with the man himself, and integrates this with his own research into Positive Psychology and Neuroscience. Ben is a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF).

A long-term champion of personal development, as a publisher he worked on some of the best-known books in business, psychology and personal development from Coaching for Performance to The 80/20 Principle. He continues to work with authors and publishers on select projects.

Ben’s interest in transformation and self-expression extends to his main passion outside work. He is a black belt in Bruce Lee’s elite martial art Jeet Kune Do, and assists with instruction in a private class in central London under Sifu Lak Loi. He has also had the opportunity to learn direct from legends such as Dan Inosanto and Bob Breen. This training is one of the key ways he tests his philosophy of resilience and relaxed concentration under pressure.

Ben’s mission is simple: to help you tap into your deeper wisdom, find your flow, and create powerful shifts in how you lead and live.
