Dan is ideally suited to teach Charisma Arts methods not just in getting the romantic relationships you want, but also in getting the jobs you want. He’s an expert at connecting with people whether as a salesman, public speaker or date coach.

Ben Adams has honed his charisma as a stage performer, competitive public speaker, professional services consultant and social coach. He views meeting new people as an opportunity for self expression and connection and he brings this attitude to his work as a trainer in helping others achieve their goals in business, socializing and dating.
Since first training with Charisma Arts in 2006 he has diligently put our communications philosophy into action in his life and has seen his personal and professional relationships become more vibrant and satisfying than ever.
Ben’s approach as an instructor is particularly suited for those who are looking for communication training which helps them in both their private and professional lives. His experience has proven to him that most people and organizations eventually change their goals to match their behavior rather than changing their behavior to achieve their desires. That’s why he focuses on helping students find clear, actionable steps to get the results they are looking for.
