About

If you’re looking for a speaker who doesn’t just motivate your audience — but moves them to take action — you’ve found him. I am a TEDx speaker, author of multiple books, and creator of The Rebuild Process — a practical, results-driven framework that helps people reset, refocus, and rebuild their lives, leadership, confidence, and direction. My talks are known for being powerful, practical, and immediately usable — not just inspiration that fades after the applause. With more than two decades of leadership, operational, and financial management experience across military and civilian sectors, I bring real-world credibility and lived experience to every stage. I connect with audiences through authentic storytelling, clear frameworks, and actionable steps they can apply right away. I speak on resilience, personal growth, leadership, self-defense awareness, mindset transformation, and rebuilding after setbacks — helping individuals and organizations turn challenge into forward momentum. As a speaker, I deliver: Clear, structured frameworks audiences can apply immediately High-energy, engaging delivery with real stories and real lessons Practical tools — not theory — for growth and change Messages that connect across age groups, professions, and backgrounds A balance of motivation, accountability, and strategy My sessions are ideal for: Conferences and leadership events Faith-based and community organizations Corporate and government teams Schools and youth programs Personal development and empowerment events Audience members leave with renewed clarity, practical tools, and a personal action path — not just notes, but next steps. If your audience needs more than a speech — if they need a turning point — I’m ready to deliver it.

Hired on Thumbtack

Franciscan Mission Service hired Mr. Bennett to teach a comprehensive introductory self-defense class to our volunteers who are based in Washington, DC and our missioners who are training to serve overseas. We appreciated that he took time to have an in-depth conversation with an FMS staff member prior to the session in order to gain a better understanding of the class participants and the specific goals our organization had for the class. Mr. Bennett then tailored the class based on these goals and he covered the necessary self-defense skills that our volunteers would need in different possible situations that might come up serving in a city and being abroad. Mr. Bennett's passion and pride for his work translated into a positive attitude that kept the class upbeat and energized for the entire time. Our volunteers left the class with newly acquired skills and were grateful that the session was a part of their volunteer training. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed in his professional, practical, and fun class!

Mr. Z is worth every penny and his weight in gold! I am looking forward to a very fruitful journey while working with him. He’s very knowledgeable and direct. My entire family loved our first session and can’t wait to schedule another!

Wonderful self defense training session! I reached out to Zurriane for some tips on how to protect myself in the city. He opened my eyes to all the ways I could defend myself without using a weapon. He taught me techniques for different scenarios and gave me his book to read for more information. The most important thing I learned from him is the mental aspect of protecting yourself. It was extremely valuable! I suggest him to anyone interested in self defense. He has a wealth of knowledge that everyone should tap into.
