Join the waiting list today to stay informed.
Are You ready to Become a High-Performing Project Manager to Accelerate Your Career And Become What You’re Capable of Being?
How Much is Not Performing at Your Full Potential Holding You Back in Your Career?
The majority of Project Managers accept how they work or have been asked to work as the norm, what you should be asking yourself is what COULD you do, not what SHOULD you do.
Do any of the below struggles sound familiar?
You try the latest task management app when you're overwhelmed with your workload?
You find yourself working during your holiday to finish a handover or check on a project that you don't feel comfortable leaving unattended?
You work extra hours hoping to reduce your workload, but end up feeling overwhelmed and with an ever-growing to-do list?
Your weeks and months are flying by, and you don’t feel you’re progressing in your career?
You shy away from new challenges and feel nervous presenting to clients or a crowd?
You lack the frameworks and processes to run your projects or teams consistently?
You lack the confidence to apply for promotion or a new job as you don’t feel you have the skills or experience?
You struggle to focus at work, your days are always busy, and you often can’t recall what you got done that day?
No one should be held back in their career either by their mindset, lack of the proper workplace training or inability to work productively. Unfortunately, there is either too much training based on theory or no training available on the job, so Project Managers miss out on the opportunity to become what they’re capable of being.

Project Management Doesn't Have To Be Hard
I’ve worked in project management for over 20 years. Everyone expects you to know everything, be on top of every task, and never miss a beat.
I often worked late or started early, hoping I’d finally be in complete control of my project by working harder.
I've been there, constantly feeling I need to do more for my team, or there will be a problem around the corner, or will we meet the next deadline.
Taking what I've learned working for nearly 20 years of running projects and managing large teams of project managers, I've created the high-performance program to make Project Management easier for you so you can thrive.
The program combines all of my learnings into a bespoke training program that focuses on your project management skills, productivity, and mindset, as when connected, it enables you to become a high-performing project manager and flourish in your career.

What Others Have to Say About Ben Your Trainer
All I can say is he was an incredible leader, mentor and coach during my time with him. I felt there was no problem or issue I couldn’t discuss with Ben and always came away feeling very supported. I honestly valued my years with Ben.
Ben coached me in the agile space and gave me the confidence I needed to continue my career.
Sebastian Fahey
Ben really helped me in building my confidence, as well as shaping my vision for the future of my career. Offering me the tools, and opportunities to do so along the way.
Ben has a great balance of being pragmatic & clear, whilst also allowing the space for you to think about how you can develop in your own unique way.
Liam Elliott
I learnt so much on agile practices and managing complex projects in my time working with him. He was my go-to when I didn’t know where to start and was always there to bounce ideas off and provide support.
I was really impressed with how he handled high pressure and fast paced projects, particularly when we worked together on a brand new start-up product.
He was able to help cut through the noise and provide the focus we needed, whilst always remaining calm and collected. I hope we get the chance to work together again in the future!
Holly May
The biggest thing I learnt from Ben was how to stay calm in a hectic delivery / project management world.
Things change all the time and Ben helped me to realise there is always time to make the right decision.
Putting frameworks in place to help keep track of where you are and where you’re going to help manage changes down the road which as much as you try and avoid in project durations - do happen.
Ben was also the one who introduced me to the world of agile which has been pinnacle to my career to date.
Annie Owen-Shepherd
He's a great mentor, supporter, and cheerleader.
He was always calm, and pragmatic; coaching me on breaking down challenges and trying various approaches.
Equally approachable and directive, I learned a lot in our time working together.
Always the go-to person for Agile knowledge, everyone knew they were in good hands when Ben was involved!
Katherine Lawson
He is honestly one of the best leaders and mentors I have had throughout my career, and is one of the most infectious personalities that you are naturally just drawn to!
Caring, thoughtful, personable, genuine and highly respected among his team and clients, that combined with his technical knowledge allows him to communicate with ease across all departments and personalities.
Ben would have to be one of the first names on anyone's dream team list, he has time and time again demonstrated competence in both Agile methodologies and getting the best out of his project teams!

High-Performance Program
ACCESS THE WAITLISTFAQ
Who is The high-performance program for?
GREAT question! The high-performance program is for anyone who works on projects, not just Project Managers. Whether you're in Account Management, Project Management or a team lead, you can utilise what you learn.
How do you know if I would benefit from the high-performance program?
Let me ask you this:
Do you want to be more productive?
Do you want to have a stronger mindset at work?
Do you want to improve how you plan and run projects and teams?
Are you looking to move up a level at work or go for a new job elsewhere?
This high-performance program is for you if the answer is yes to any of these.
Do I need to have a certain level of experience before I sign up?
Not at all. It doesn’t matter what level you’re at in your career; if you have the right mindset to want to learn and improve yourself, then this program is for you.
How is high-performance program different to other project management training?
Another great question!
Most training out there for Project Managers is a course of some sort, the majority of them valuable, but they’re designed for the thousands, so every single one is very similar.
You learn a lot on the course, and it looks great on your CV, but how much can you implement in your day job, as often, they're to big a change to implement.
The high-performance program is based on experience of being a Project Manager, practical and implementable.
Will I get access to Ben Willmott?
Yes, you’ll be able to ask me questions during the weekly live online coaching and mentoring! In addition to the 30 plus on-demand video lessons and worksheets you will receive, we will also meet live online.
Last but not least, all the live sessions will be recorded. You’ll have lifetime access to the program, so if you miss a live session you can catch-up anytime you like.
Will I be able to join at later time?
Once the program starts, it's locked in for 5-weeks and only those who joined prior to day one, can be on the program.
If you've missed this cut off, ensure you're on the waitlist so you can hear when the program will be run again.
