It’s time to
DesuckifyWork
Let’s cut the BS and get real about making work better for all of us.
Who We Are
TJ Bennett
Coach. Chief Desuckifier. Cat Guy.
I began my coaching career after 25 years as an advertising executive, creative director and writer for agencies big and small., including TBWA\Chiat\Day, Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy and Hill Holliday. I helped Fortune 500 clients like Verizon, Toyota, Time Warner, MetLife, AT&T, Mazda and Panasonic solve big problems and helped my teams do the same. But better.
What We Believe
Work sucks less when we know why we do it.
Why some projects energize us and others drain us.
Why we connect so easily to some folks and others drive us mad.
Why we care so much. Or don’t care at all.
Why we feel burnt out even though we “should” be happy.
The answer to all of this lives in our pudding. The secret sauce that makes each of us, us.
Find your pudding, find your path.
Yum.
We specialize in creative fields like advertising, marketing, PR, tech and entrepreneurship.
But we’ll work with any business that believes in the power of human ingenuity to make the world better.
What We Do
Want better work?
Make work better.
The big Ps (profit, productivity, performance) get a lot better when you focus on the biggest P of all—people.
Our mission is to DesuckifyWork®. How do we do it? By taking on some of the biggest challenges you face with your teams, like:
🐱 High Turnover
🐱 Low Employee Engagement
🐱 Poor Communication (solve this one, solve almost everything)
🐱 Stress & Mental Health issues
🐱 Client conflict
🐱 No time for big picture thinking
🐱 Lack of purpose and meaning
🐱 Lack of fun. Remember Fun?
Let's have some fun and figure this stuff out, together.
What role does work play in your life?
Ask yourself and your teams this question if you want to communicate, collaborate and create better together.
How we can desuckify together
We can customize any program. Or come up with a program that’s never existed before in the history of programs. Or, we can use a word other than “program” to describe the work we do together. Let’s get creative!

Where Our Name Comes From
Founder TJ Bennett explains:
“It started with a conversation with our cat, Marvin. I asked where he’d been all day and he told me he just got home from his job at the pudding factory. What a wonderful place to work, I remember thinking, as we high-fived and made our way to the couch to watch hockey.”
And so, The Pudding Factory was born. And pudding became synonymous with secret sauce. The stuff that makes you zing.
Marvin is no longer with us, proudly making tuna-flavored pudding with his siblings Buford, Sophie and Randy up on the rainbow bridge. We think he’d be proud of the work we’re doing down here too.
