About Benah Parker, Ph.D.
I Help High-Achieving Leaders Rediscover Who They Are
—So They Can Lead From the Inside Out
I’m not here just to push productivity. I’m here to help you see clearly, decide powerfully, and show up as the leader your next level requires. The productivity and impact follow from that.

A Different Kind of Coach
Most of my clients come to me when their old strategies stop working.
They’re successful, respected, and relied upon—but quietly running on fumes. Something feels misaligned. They want clarity, balance, or a new path, but they don’t know where to begin.
That’s where I come in. Not as a cheerleader or checklist enforcer, but as a strategic partner. Someone who can see what you can’t—yet. Someone who’s done the work, personally and professionally, and is here to help you do yours.
My Approach
I’m a social psychologist and executive advisor with a background in leadership identity, organizational transformation, and resilience. But I’m also someone who has moved through burnout, reinvention, and grief—and come out more grounded, honest, and aligned.
My work integrates:
- Applied psychology (so the change lasts)
- Strategic coaching (so it’s tied to real results)
- Lived experience (so I can meet you where you are)
I created the Strategic Identity Shift™ and Strategic Leadership Shift™ frameworks to help leaders and teams move beyond performance pressure and into powerful clarity. Because I’ve seen what happens when alignment replaces overfunctioning. It’s not just leadership, it’s liberation.


Who I Work With
I work with high-level leaders and their teams who are:
- Sitting at a pivot point in life or work
- Outgrowing old roles, stories, or strategies
- Tired of chasing other people’s definitions of success
- Ready to shift how they lead, not just what they do
I don’t offer pre-packaged programs. Everything is tailored, strategic, and designed to support your sustainable growth.
A Bit More Personal
I believe that leadership isn’t about being louder, faster, or more efficient. It’s about becoming more aligned with your vision, your values, and your truth.
I’ve built Level 42 Consulting to be a space where growth is grounded, strategic, and deeply personal.
Outside of work, I’m a mom and wife, a reader, a breast cancer survivor, a dancer, a goofball, and someone who genuinely loves this work. I don’t believe in fixing people. I believe in helping them remember who they are.
