What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I like the idea that a person doesn't have to become someone else to have the life they want — they just have to stop arguing with who they already are. That's my why. For thirty years I've sat with individuals who were capable of far more than they'd given themselves permission for, and most of my job is handing that permission back. Know yourself. Clarify what you want. Become unshakable. That's the work, and I get to do it for a living. -
Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
Do you know someone who's excellent at the work itself but buried by everything around it — time management, planning and organizing, prioritizing, the follow-up, the starting, the keeping track?
Is there someone in your world whose default setting is stressed or irritable, fear, anger, imposter syndrome — not because of any one thing, just the way most days feel?
Do you know someone who's working incredibly hard and still couldn't tell you what it's all building toward? They don't have clarity around who they are and what they want. -
Unique Selling Proposition
I work on the emotional home you return to when the plan gets hard. Strategy fails for capable people not because the strategy was wrong, but because their default state — stressed, striving, half-braced — quietly overrides it. Emotional fitness is trainable the same way physical fitness is, and it's the one variable that changes every other one.
I'm also really good at using tech to build systems tailored specifically to client and that help them thrive in all areas of their lives. -
About me
I'm Ben McDowell, founder of BKM Thrive Coaching. I've spent thirty years doing essentially one thing: sitting across from capable people and helping them work out who they are and what they actually want.
Most coaching picks a lane — systems or self. I work both. The follow-through problem and the identity problem turn out to be the same problem, so I coach the execution and the person running it in the same hour. That's the part clients tell me they hadn't found anywhere else.
My work runs on a structured weekly practice. People leave sessions with more clarity and feeling grounded and connected - both to themselves and the people and the world around them. They can act on and an emotional baseline that holds up when things get hard. -

Hobbies and interest
Outside of coaching, personal growth courses and conferences. Meditation. Reading and learning. Staying physically fit and working on my own own emotional fitness. Latin dancing, salsa and bachata, currently more enthusiasm than technique. World travel and cruises, with Costa Rica the place I keep going back to. Learning Spanish. Great movies — the big, thought-provoking, ambitious ones. And I love seeing kindness and generosity of spirit in the world and work hard to surround myself with those who are similarly aligned.
