Performance Coaching

What is Performance Coaching?

Performance Coaching is an alliance based on trust, commitment, accountability, willingness & action between the coach and client.
The coaching relationship is about you and the areas of life that matter most to you.  Regardless of whether you are at the top of your game or looking to get there, performance coaching can add value to your experiences and support you in gaining perspective that you may not have gained otherwise.

In essence, coaching peels back the onion to look at various areas of personal or professional life (client driven) and examines where you are currently at right now, looks at potential obstacles or challenges that may exist and supports a process for choosing a path to create the life you truly want.

The coach holds a safe space within which the client can explore. That space or context provides the client a break from the normal busy-ness of their lives to evaluate how well things are going, to look at what’s working and what isn’t, and to strategize future action steps.  The coach does not judge results. There is no failure, only feedback. The coach does expect the client to take responsibility and to develop the flexibility and commitment to overcome limitations and barriers.

Coaches also provide structure. As coaches hear clients express a desire for action, they make requests.  Over some time, the partnership evolves. Once requests are accepted, coaches hold clients accountable for taking those actions.

As individuals, most of us prefer self-generated action steps, yet we often fail to take them because no outside force holds us to them. We rarely have deadlines for the things we want to do for ourselves, so they go to the bottom of the “to do” list. In coaching, the client chooses the steps they want to be held accountable for. The coach provides an external expectation that those steps will be taken. By holding a client accountable, the coach sets up an expectation. The coaching call then provides a deadline for the client to achieve their goals.

Every great performer has a coach…every one of them.  Tiger Woods’ coach isn’t a better golfer than he is, but he has the benefit of objective observation of Tiger’s performance.  It’s through this perspective and the use of powerful questions that a coach is able to contribute value to even the best in the world.

My Coaching Process
My coaching process consists of a couple of phases and follows a structure to support you in achieving your goals.  You will drive the schedule, agenda and content of our time together.  I will hold the context to make sure we are always on track and always creating maximum value.

Discovery Session – Complimentary – (roughly 20 minutes)
In this ‘get to know each other’ session, we will talk about why you want a coach, what you are looking to gain from your coaching relationship and we will dive into the key areas of your life that matter most to you.  We will explore your passions, vision and/or purpose, whether you are clear about them or not.  We will also outline my role in the relationship and should we feel the relationship can be mutually beneficial and choose to move forward, we will outline structure & schedule.

Ongoing Coaching Sessions – (45 minutes)
Our coaching time is completely client driven.  I have no personal agenda.  You are the master of your own life therefore you get to determine how we invest our time together.  You will set the agendas for each call, we will explore those areas together and you will be responsible for reporting back on the session.

Email Support
We can communicate via email as often as you like while you are a client (and preferably a lot longer as friends/colleagues).  If you have a quick question, you are hitting a wall or just have something you want to share…my virtual door is always open.

Assessments & Assignments
Be prepared to have work to do outside of your sessions.  Obviously, you will be out in your life, creating the results you are after, however you will from time to time have assessments to complete prior to the next session and will often have specific assignments should you choose to accept them.

5-Minute Recharges
This is exactly as it sounds.  If you need quick, immediate support between senses for whatever reason, I will do my best to make myself available on the fly for a max of 5 minutes.  This is a quick RE-SET and then you are on your way.


Why use Keith as your coach?
Keith is a masterful coach & trainer with a learned talent for being able to hear the story under the words.  This perception leads to powerful questions that can cause you to move out of self-imposed limitations.  All levels of performance have these.

Keith has studied a variety of disciplines in personal development and transformational work and he brings both a depth of knowledge with practical experience to the table.

It’s important to note that Keith’s personality, although deep, is very playful.  He is a consummate style flexer and moves from place to place to best serve the situation and client.  Keith will play whatever role is necessary to achieve the results you say you want.  Although it would be great if you were friends when our sessions complete, it isn’t his goal to get you to like him.  His goal is to support you in getting results.  With that said he lives his life IN joy and is committed to having a good time along the journey.

What does this all mean?  It means you get a coach grounded in who they are, is able to be what you need him to be and is completely committed to YOUR journey, YOUR experience and YOUR results.
