About Benjamin Preston

Benjamin Preston Headshot

I’m Ben Preston—career strategist, content creator, consultant and storyteller. My purpose is simple: give ambitious professionals the tools, clarity and emotional intelligence they need to build purposeful careers—and experience real joy in the process.

My Story

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, I spent my early career navigating marketing agencies, startups and corporate environments. A pivot into consultancy unveiled a deeper passion: helping individuals define success on their own terms.

Along the way, I earned an MBA from UNC’s Kenan–Flagler Business School, and have been recognized as an award‑winning consultant in marketing, strategy and employee development  .

Today, I help both organizations and individuals: I consult with businesses on coaching, leadership and operations strategy, and I mentor young professionals to identify their strengths, passions and paths forward 

Why This Mission Matters

YouTube became my platform of choice because I wanted to deliver high‑impact guidance on leadership, career transitions, and the emotional side of growth—minus industry jargon or hype. My audience ranges from first‑time leaders to seasoned professionals, all aiming to bring more purpose into their professional lives.

If you’re seeking clarity in your career—or just want to operate from a more hopeful, engaged place—join us. Explore the YouTube channel, sign up for my newsletter, or connect on LinkedIn. Whether through coaching, speaking engagements or industry partnerships, I’m eager to support your next chapter.
