Thanks to the wonders of Brett Benes and his love for communication, our Healing Media Group is the first prong that we developed to improve complex illness outcomes in the U.S.
Below, we describe the keynote speeches, podcasts, and books developed by Brett Benes and Tenay Benes that are available for you to enjoy. Click on a link below to dive into our latest projects!
Tenay Benes offers two signature keynotes that tie directly to her book, “Heal or Die: A True Story About Trauma, Chronic Illness, and Unexpected Help”. Her story and strategies can inspire your audience, improve outcomes, and create lasting impact:
For health, wellness, and human services companies, organizations, and agencies:Win the War on Complex Illness – leadership strategies and actionable frameworks that help healthcare, wellness, and human services teams improve complex illness outcomes.
For individuals navigating complex illness as well as their caregivers and community:Heal or Die – an inspiring, practical story of overcoming complex illness empowering people to take control of their healing journey.
This is a coordination project disguised as a podcast. Chronic and complex illnesses are on the rise, and navigating the fragmented healthcare system can take years — sometimes decades — before patients find real solutions. As veterans who’ve faced this ourselves, we know the struggle firsthand. The Brett Benes Podcast works to help change this by highlighting everyday heroes and emerging leaders, exploring how collaboration improves care, and sharing tools and ideas shaping the future of wellness.
