Guest Speaker Coaches Time Out

Shami Benjamin is an athlete-turned-mental health professional, who is highly motivating, compassionate and relatable with a passion for developing the minds of the elite. Shami takes a holistic approach, uses evidence-based systems and meets you where you are. Shami also brings humor and a relaxed/light-hearted vibe with professionalism and experience. Shami trains professional athletes/business professionals and consults with coaches, through one-on-one sessions.


Shami is tired of hearing how high performers are dealing with life's challenges alone and wholeheartedly believes having her on your team even when things are great is the best approach. Life will eventually turn and setbacks are inevitable. Having Shami on your team as an already established confidential teammate is the best approach to ensure your short/long term professional/life goals.


For the past 20 years, Shami served as a business professional and prior to that, a semi professional and division 1 soccer player. From the playing field to the business world, Shami empowers/develops elite performers: mental toughness and emotional IQ so you can be your best regardless of circumstance. Her practical and straight-forward strategies provide tangible results and skills that will help you learn, grow, heal and push through the inevitable challenges life throws at us.
