Our Mission

We strengthen relationships, promote engagement, and enhance individual, team, leadership and organizational performance.

Our Legacy

From garbage trucks with the New York City Department of Sanitation to barges on the Mississippi with the Army Corps of Engineers to ships at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to a keynote address in Dubai, our clients have taken us across the nation and around the world.   We worked  Wall Street, Board rooms, scientific laboratories, medical centers, financial institutions and construction sites. We worked at the U.S. Capitol for the Clerk of the Court, companies in Mexico and Canada, and consulates in Europe, Africa and Central America. We’ve served clients in English, Spanish and French and in organizations ranging in size from  ten to 100,000.  We work at every level, from executives to individual contributors. No matter the venue or the audience, we bring proven practices and practical solutions tailored to the needs and workplace realities of our clients.
Benjamin Alexander, Jr. established Ben Alexander and Associates in 1982 as a small training firm specializing in fair employment practices. The firm grew to become Alexander Consulting & Training, Inc., and expanded the staff and services offered to include organization, team and leadership development, HR advisory services, mediation and coaching.

We work with the human side of enterprise–any and everything to do with the people who make an organization’ success possible.
Ben Alexander
