Real Coaching for Real Leaders
I help leaders gain clarity, align their priorities, and move forward deliberately.
Personal Agility & Self-Management Workbook
In Personal Agility and Self-Management, I introduce a practical framework for helping leaders and professionals create clarity, build stronger working habits, and align their daily actions with the outcomes they want to achieve. The ideas come from years of coaching leaders and working inside fast-moving organizations where focus, discipline, and thoughtful decision-making matter. The book helps readers manage themselves more effectively so they can lead others, navigate complexity, and make meaningful progress in their work and lives. Available on Amazon.
Personal Agility & Restorative Practices Workbook
In Personal Agility and Restorative Practices, I extend the Personal Agility framework beyond the individual and into the relationships that shape our work and lives. The book offers a practical approach to repairing trust, navigating conflict, and building stronger connections with the people around us. The ideas draw from years of coaching executives, leading teams, and applying restorative principles in real organizations where relationships determine outcomes. It helps readers move from managing themselves to strengthening the communities they lead, so they can resolve tension constructively, restore what's been damaged, and create environments where people do their best work.
Where I've Built, Led, and Grown
Across every role, I’ve learned how to navigate pressure, adapt quickly, and lead with intention. That perspective helps me support others in finding focus, building trust, and making decisions they can stand behind.
Benjamin Adkins, ICP-ACC
Certified Professional Agile Coach & International Coaching Federation Member
I'm Benjamin J. Adkins, an executive coach, Certified Professional Agile Coach, and author. I help leaders, teams, and individuals think more clearly, work better together, and move forward with purpose.
For more than 15 years I have worked in and alongside organizations like Amazon and Uber Freight, in program management, customer success leadership, and coaching. Today I coach C-suite and VP-level leaders around the world, and I partner with leadership teams and Customer Success organizations that want stronger alignment between strategy, people, and execution.
My work brings together three practices:
Agile Coaching. Simple ways to set priorities, make decisions, and adjust as things change. I use agile thinking to help leaders and teams focus on what matters and keep moving.
Restorative Practices Coaching. Trained through the International Institute for Restorative Practices, I use this approach to build trust, repair harm, and create spaces where people feel heard. Strong relationships make accountability possible.
Positive Psychology Coaching. I help people build on their strengths, not just fix what's broken. This keeps the work focused on growth, energy, and what's possible.
Together, these give leaders a way to see the full system they work in: the people, the process, and the possibilities. I use structured conversations, good questions, and practical tools so leaders can make thoughtful decisions and lead teams that trust each other and get things done.
Organizations usually bring me in during growth, transition, or change, when leaders need space to think and teams need to get aligned. I also work one on one with individuals who want to manage their lives and careers with more intention.
I run Benjamin J. Adkins LLC Coaching Solutions and wrote the Personal Agility series: Personal Agility and Self-Management and Personal Agility and Restorative Practices. I work in both English and Spanish.

- Landon Bagby Manager, NA Alliance Marketing
Through our coaching sessions, I’ve learned new ways to approach my responsibilities and find creative strategies for partnering with my team. One of the most impactful takeaways has been learning how to prioritize what matters most when it comes to staffing, making sure we have the right people in the right roles. Benjamin also helped me find the balance between supporting my employees and holding them accountable to the needs of the business. That balance has been essential in creating a more productive and motivated team. He has played a key role in helping me strengthen my relationship with my direct leadership. His suggestions, including using Restorative Practices like Fair Process, have been especially helpful in building that trust and communication. This coaching experience has been transformative, and I’m grateful for the impact it’s had on my professional development.
- Jamara Trotter, Director - Development Analytics
One thing I’ve valued most is the space Benjamin creates. Our conversations are private and judgment-free, which allows me to speak openly about challenges and think through his suggestions with clarity. I chose to work with Benjamin in part because of his experience with agile tools. That aligned well with my focus on continuous improvement and my interest in productivity systems. He also brings a strong understanding of technology, which complements the organizational tools I use daily. Benjamin is a thoughtful, skilled coach. His guidance has helped me grow as a leader, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to sharpen their thinking and elevate their performance.
