Coach BE's Bio

Standing 5’23” tall (you do the math) and even taller in his purpose, Bryan E. Stephens, known as Coach BE, turns real-life lessons into leadership tools that move hearts, shift culture, and build community. As a thought leader and cultural architect, Coach BE brings a unique blend of humor, heart, and hard truths to his work. This approach allows him to connect with diverse audiences, meeting them where they are and guiding them forward. His journey through the classrooms of Special Education, the courtrooms of Juvenile Probation, the community outreach of Parks and Recreation, and the sidelines of coaching gives him a rare ability to connect with students, educators, and city leaders alike. Through his transformative programs, BEStwenty4 and Other People’s Kids (OPK), Coach BE helps organizations move from burnout to balance and from compliance to commitment. Whether on a main stage, in a gym full of teens, or leading professional development, Coach BE delivers transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Coach BE

I’m responsive, low-maintenance, and easy to work with. No middlemen or extra layers. It’s direct communication with me or my small team. My goal is to make your process smooth, clear, and stress-free from start to finish.

My fee includes: a custom pre-event promotional video, a guided discovery call, a tailored keynote that aligns with your theme, and live on-stage delivery of survey results. I aim to give full value before, during, and after I step on stage.

Absolutely. Every keynote is tailored through a guided discovery call where I learn your goals, theme, and audience vibe. I do my homework by researching your industry and culture, so the message lands real, relevant, and right on time for your people.

I don't speak-and-run. I stay up for 2–4 hours after my keynote to answer questions, take photos, and engage in genuine conversations. If my schedule permits, I’ll stay for the entire day or even the next. Building relationships with folks beyond the stage is part of how I work.

I get it, budgets vary. My rates reflect the value I bring, but I’m open to negotiating within your budget. Let’s chat and see what fits. Who knows, I might even have a coupon or special rate tucked away for your organization!

Yes, once your post-event survey is completed, you'll automatically receive my presentation slides and additional resource materials tied to the session’s content. I keep it simple: feedback first, then full access to the tools that keep the message going.

I’m good with photos and recordings, no extra fees or restrictions. Please catch my good side and share any footage or pictures with me afterward. It helps me spread the message and saves me from hiring my own crew. Appreciate you in advance for that!
