Influence is the missing piece.

You’re doing well in your role.
You’re respected, reliable, and known for getting things done.

But when the conversation carries weight, when there’s resistance, emotion, or power dynamics at play, even strong leaders can feel something’s missing.

You’ve taken the leadership programmes. You’ve read the books. You’re committed to doing things the “right” way. 

And still, when dynamics get tricky, you don’t feel fully equipped.

This isn’t about ability or a personality flaw.

It’s about influence and that’s the part leadership programmes don’t teach.

Claire’s Signature Method

Most leadership training teaches frameworks for “ideal” conditions, strategies that sound good in theory.

But real conversations?
They go off-script. Tension rises. People get defensive. Emotions take over.

That’s why Claire’s method that she teaches inside People Mastery Academy® stands apart.
It’s built for real moments, not textbook theory.

✔️ Highly visual frameworks designed to be used under pressure, in the moment
 ✔️ Roleplay breakdowns that show how real influence works in motion
 ✔️ Tools built for nuance, so you can shift dynamics as they unfold
 ✔️ Micro-specific skills that elevate your authority without force, ego, or people-pleasing

This approach closes the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it when it counts.

Meet Claire

Hi, I’m Claire Benjamin, Communication and Influence Mentor, LinkedIn Top Voice in Leadership, and trusted by over a million professionals worldwide.

I help capable professionals stop unintentionally diluting their influence in conversations and start leading with calm, credible authority.

  • My work sits at the intersection of:
  • Behavioural psychology
  • Leadership communication
  • Emotional intelligence
  • And the messy realities of real-life conversations most leadership training skips.

My work online has reached tens of millions. 

Over the past decade, I’ve helped thousands of leaders across industries transform how they communicate not by changing who they are, but by sharpening how they show up in the leadership moments that shape perception.

I’m known for decoding the invisible dynamics that derail conversations and for creating practical, powerful tools that help leaders shift these dynamics fast. Filling the huge gap that many leaders feel despite attending workplace leadership training.

If that sounds like the kind of support you’ve been missing, you’re in the right place.
