Ben Harvey

Ben started his own business as an executive coach in the summer of 2005 having spent thirteen years with Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC), first in London and later working across the firm’s Central & Eastern European (CEE) offices. Ben’s first career within PwC was as a qualified accountant working with clients from a variety of organisations and industries. Ben later chose to pursue a second career with PwC as an internal training and development consultant.

Ben is able to quickly establish rapport and trust with his clients to allow them to freely express and explore their thoughts, ideas and concerns. With his background in business, Ben understands the dynamics of organisational life and is able to easily relate to the context in which his clients operate.

Using his experience and knowledge from leadership development and psychology Ben is able to provide an appropriate balance of support, challenge and feedback to facilitate learning, awareness and deeper understanding in his clients, allowing them to find practical actions to take forward in how they manage themselves, their teams and their own clients.

Ben began coaching PwC partner candidates in 1999 having attended an intensive programme with the London School of Coaching. He later obtained his first coaching accreditation from the School in 2003. Since then Ben has continued his development adding news skills and knowledge to his coaching practice, qualifying in tools such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI). In January 2009, Ben graduated with an Advanced Diploma in Coaching from the Academy of Executive Coaching (UK).

Today Ben is based in Vilnius and coaches senior and board level executives in companies such as SEB, Swedbank, Cushman & Wakefield, as well as PwC, in several countries across CEE. In both PricewaterhouseCoopers and Cushman & Wakefield, Ben has worked with partner candidates and new partners, often using 360 degree feedback reports, to support their development as leaders.

With more than nine years of coaching experience and work in the area of personal and leadership development, Ben brings a depth of knowledge and experience to his work as an executive coach.
