THE BUSINESS OF OPTIMAL GROWTH

Human Development
by Design

WELCOME

We are all here
to Grow and Thrive.

 Growth is our birthright.

Without effective development, business decline, careers stagnate, and lives lack meaning.

Over 70% of leadership development initiatives fail – Let’s fix that. 

Great Leaders create the conditions for their people to flourish and succeed collectively. 

In this complex and bold new era of automation and AI, upgrading human capability is not just important—it’s essential. 

I’ve spent the last 15 years working with leaders in business and science to deliver the systems and strategies they need to succeed. 

I’ve built this website as a home for my tools and resources, a portal for my clients, and a way for me to connect with like-minded people and practitioners of growth. 

Feel free to take a look around or reach out for a conversation.

All my very best,

Benny Ausmus

TESTIMONIALS

What's it like to work with Benny?

Hazel Smirilis, Managing Director
I have been working with Benny for 6 months now and I can't speak highly enough of the BIG CHANGE that has happened to my life and my business. Benny is highly passionate and enthusiastic about helping people to build and grow successful businesses. What I truly love about working with Benny is the wealth of knowledge, support and guidance he provides. His approach is very different to other business coaches I have used in the past as he focuses on what drives you as a business owner first and then works on the other elements of your business. I would strongly recommend Benny to anyone wanting to see a BIG CHANGE in their lives.
Andrew McGregor , Managing Director
The leaders of Design & Build have been working with Benny & Big Change for 2 years and in that time our businesses has changed greatly, and all for the better. A fundamental part of this has been the support and guidance from Benny on discovering our purpose and vision, along with the systems and processes to move us towards our vision and improve our performance and overall results.. Benny is a true professional and incredibly passionate about adding value to his clients & network wherever possible. He has challenged us to grow and helped us work through the uncomfortable changes which we needed to arrive at where we are today. On a personal note I have also grown extensively during my time working with Big Change and found Benny’s coaching invaluable in assisting me to be a better leader everyday. I look forward to my monthly meet ups with Benny, knowing he is driven to deliver results and he certainly puts this expectation on you also. I would have no hesitation in recommending Benny to anyone who wants to grow and develop, as a business or as a leader in any field.
Sash Hendrix, Managing Director
Through working with Benny I have gained clarity and purpose around communication that I was not previously aware of. This has translated into higher levels of conversion in business and more fulfilling relationships with the people around me. I have no hesitation in referring clients to Benny as I have experienced his work first hand - Outstanding.
Jarrod Conroy, Managing Director
Prior to engaging with Benny Ausmus I had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on external contractors and internal management positions that did not solve my root problems. My experience with Benny Ausmus has been entirely different in the way in which he brings a very unique lens and problem solving capability to each problem, whether it be him personally or someone else within his invaluable network. Benny is the walking definition of work smarter, not harder and through his mentoring and support Prana Energy has transformed our sales & operations teams and are well on our way to re-defining our message to the marketplace. With his structures and management it's also made it possible to avoid the unnecessary costs of general manager like roles, throughout a number of divisions in the business via effective leadership from the top down. Thank you
Peter Leeson, Managing Director
It is hard to explain the process and outcome of working with Benny in just one paragraph. Benny has managed to condense the world's business process, change, and improvement ideas into a structured and results-orientated idea and concept whilst removing the bullshit. Benny has supported the transformation giving opinion and advice in the areas that will create the biggest impact. The results of his people focused and leadership-driven system cannot be measured at a point in time as the commitment to develop and maintain will continue to drive the results beyond next year's financial results. It is about changing the lifestyle of your team, the culture of your business and aligning every individual in your business with your North Star
Dyan Sisouw, Managing Director
Could not recommend Benny highly enough, we have worked together for a for some time and everything we have implemented over the year has definitely come through with a great return on investment.
