In this episode, Bill and Michael unpack the “Last 8%” of conversations — the toughest parts we often avoid but that carry the most impact. They explore how leaders can build cultures of high connection and high courage, share personal stories from healthcare and startup leadership, and offer strategies for handling tough truths, hiring challenges, and team performance.
Bill Benjamin, a global keynote speaker who blends practicality with science in his approach to leadership. With degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, Bill uses brain-science to help people master emotional intelligence, perform under pressure, and build what he calls a high-performance “Last 8%” culture.
Audiences appreciate his high energy and engaging style, whether he is speaking to surgeons, the U.S. Marines, NASA engineers, or executives at Amazon, Intel, and Goldman Sachs. Bill does not just share theory. He is open about the struggles he faced early in his career and how applying the strategies he now teaches made him a stronger leader, husband, and father.
He is funny, relatable, and committed to understanding the real challenges organizations face, weaving those directly into his sessions. That is why top organizations from the Mayo Clinic to NASA trust him when performance and leadership matter most.
