My Story

“A good half of the art of living is resilience.”

Alain de Botton

Hello, I’m Beth Benatti Kennedy and I am a leadership coach, resiliency-training expert, and speaker. I have worked with a diverse range of clients including The Gillette Company, Nike, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Pfizer Inc., and others. My Benatti Resiliency Model® has helped thousands of people develop the resilience to adapt to changing career circumstances, remain productive and engaged, and find greater life and career satisfaction. Whether it’s leadership coaching, conducting training programs, or speaking at professional conferences and symposiums, my mission is to recharge individuals in their careers and lives so that they have the energy needed for a rapidly changing world and environment.

As a leadership coach, I work with individuals on how to use their influence strategically, collaborate effectively, and focus on innovation. I show them how to develop resilience habits to maximize their professional and personal impact, increase their influence, and build their brand.

The training component of my business gives me the opportunity to offer my success strategies to more than just individuals. My training sessions focus on keeping employees resilient, engaged, and productive, and able to manage change and transition within the organization. I also provide teams and departments with ways to increase collaboration and effectiveness with Team Type training.

Another way I contribute my expertise is by publishing articles and participating in podcasts. One of my more recent articles, “How resilient were we in 2021?”, was co-written with Songmao Zheng, Vice President of Clinical and Quantitative Pharmacology, Adagene, Inc. and Karthik Venkatakrishnan, Global Head of Quantitative Pharmacology at EMD Serono, Inc., published 18 August 2022 in the Clinical and Translational Science Journal. This article was a follow-up to another article in the same publication, “Staying Engaged in Your Career Without Burning Out: A Call for Action to Build Resilience in Clinical and Translational Science”. You can read more of my articles here and listen to my podcast interviews here.

My book Career ReCharge: Five Strategies to Boost Resilience and Beat Burnout lets me share my vision with a larger audience.

“I use my ability to illuminate the maximum potential in each person, helping them accomplish their goals and achieve success.”
