Everything you want
is on the other side of the work.
I coach founders, leaders, and creative visionaries ready to embrace the chaos, challenge, and opportunity of life today. The world is evolving faster than we can even track. The only way to keep up … is to up your inner game.
This is the deep, intimate work of personal reinvention — done in conversation and practice, without formulas or models built for yesterday.
I help my clients move through identity-level transitions. When something is ending, something new should be emerging, but it’s not always clear who you need to become next. I make these transitions smoother, faster, and more complete.
I’m not just a coach. I’ve built brands, written award-winning books, and navigated reinvention myself — professionally and personally. I work with people like you because I am people like you.
But I’ve learned how to give myself an edge: the neuroplasticity created by deep meditation. The internal power of martial arts mastery. The wisdom held in the breath, and the body. The power of our shadows to drive us to greatness, and radically limit our full potential at the same time. And the phenomenal power of responding rather than reacting (so much more challenging than it sounds).
Lets be honest: the world doesn’t need more high-achieving performers. We need powerful and humble leaders — emotionally honest, internally grounded, and deeply attuned to the people around them. Our future depends on it.
If that sounds like the leader you’d like to become, read on.
Approach + Methodology
We don’t do therapy, but we also don’t stay on the surface like so much of coaching. We do something else entirely. We have the conversations that are powerful enough to change how you see yourself, and how the world sees you.
The 5 Core Pillars—awareness, care, polarity, choice, and integration—can be applied to solve any type of problem, from team dynamics to strategy, hitting your metrics to sales impact, plus growth, legacy, and depth of leadership.
The pillars allow a universal and dynamic approach to create greater clarity, adaptability, and stable growth in a world that is increasingly unpredictable and chaotic.
Core Pillars
-
1. Awareness
Any skilled leader can change what they think. True transformation begins when they learn to change how they think.
That shift starts by listening to more than just the mind.
When leaders develop deeper awareness, they stop reacting from habit and start responding from insight.
Cultivate clarity & novel creativity
-
2. Care
Knowing what you truly care about gives context to complexity and clarity to decisions—and that care is often hidden.
Competing values don’t cancel each other out—they deepen your integrity when held together in conscious care.
When leaders act from this broader field, their decisions reflect wisdom beyond the short-term gain.
Discover what really matters
-
3. Polarity
Wise leaders know that focusing too narrowly on one side means failing at the other.
Dynamic leadership requires the ability to hold tension between competing truths, opposing values, and paradoxical demands.
When leaders embrace both/and thinking, they build systems that adapt, evolve, and grow stronger.
Develop a mindset that thrives on change
-
4. Choice
Young leaders react. Mature leaders choose.
Awareness, care, and polarity together change the quality of choices that appear before the wise leader.
You can now see the possible hidden inside the probable, and make decisions far more in-tune with what’s actually happening in the world rather than what you think is happening.
Go beyond what’s probable into what’s possible -
5. Integration
When all four Core Pillars are used to address a problem, what has been learned is integrated as the solutions arise into the next round of challenge and opportunity.
Integration is where complexity gets metabolized. It’s where paradox becomes possibility, and polarity becomes power. Without it, leaders stay static. With it, they become dynamic.
A dynamic, antifragile capacity to adapt across multiple domains
Business isn’t chess, it’s a street fight: no rules, no guarantees, no do-overs. So why build your strategy like you know exactly what’s coming? You don’t. No one does.
But there are some truths we can rely on:
When you react, you chase. When you respond, you innovate and lead.
Your body always tells you the truth.
You need greater capacity, which is the true currency of leadership.
Capacity > control. Capacity > strategyYour shadows drive your greatness, and limit it.
Your mind is (literally) infinitely deep, and you can change how you perceive time, space, conflict, and opportunity, with practice.
I don’t deal in predictions or probabilities. I deal in readiness.
Testimonials
“I want you to know how much I have and do appreciate Keith, not only in the work he did with us, but also the honest and gifted person that he is. I have seen his beautiful flexibility flowing into the waters of the unknown in our business and taking responsibility when no one could even know what that responsibility was.”
Terri O’Fallon
Founder of STAGES International
“Keith is not afraid to cut with a sharper edge when needed. He takes transformational work out of the therapeutic "safe" container while being guided by heart that shows up big and committed to the deeper awareness that dwells in the core. I feel safer around Keith for the reason that he is willing to take risk, willing to say what is unsaid and to deliver it without compromise. His practice as a martial artist and Zen practitioner brings a grounded presence that supports a container in going toward what matters.”
Marco Chung-Shu Lam
Clinic Director of the Mandala Integrative Medicine Clinic
“Keith brings vast and diverse personal experience and insight to his work with men's issues.
He'll quietly listen and affirm the story we tell (ourselves and others) and when the moment is right, offer that sniper-like bolt of clarity that cuts through it all to the heart of the issue and provide the light that illuminates the path forward.
He’s an adept — a sherpa — that can aid your journey. One only need ask for his guidance.”
Casey Capshaw
Director of Operations, Strada
“He’s not just a wordsmith extraordinaire he’s the guy you want to have your back on a crucial project or professional conundrum. Keith’s clarity, subtlety, and grace inspire me as a writer, a reader, and an entrepreneur. But what truly makes him a cut above are his huge heart and fiercely clarifying presence.”
Angela Raines
Professional Writer
“Keith stands apart in his capacity to float fluently between constructive analysis of your work, and your more spiritual and psychological personality traits that are at play. He cuts through the nonsense to target precisely what’s holding you back.”
Katherine Armstrong
Attorney and Entrepreneur
“Keith brings a completely unique intensity and insight to his coaching. Quite simply, he was able to do more in less time than many therapists, coaches, and other professionals who have come in and out of my life over the last 25 years.”
Bill Brakemeier
Senior Trainer & Coach at CGI Franchise
“I am consistently impressed with Keith’s insight and ability to quickly deepen with others in a way that treads beyond the comfort zone but brings people with him. Keith has a great balance of grounded power and confidence and the capacity to reveal his own vulnerability. I am inspired by his dedication to his own evolution as much as his skill in contributing to the evolution of others.”
Eddie Konold
MA, LPC, CAC II
“The thing you need to know about Keith is that he has done and is doing the work himself every day. What does this mean for you? It means that you can expect no judgment, but also that his bullshit detector is on high. If you’re ready to dig in and get real, he’s your man.”
James Edwards
Chief Executive Officer, Drylands Agroecology Research
“Keith has always approached me from a solid grounding in his body, which helps land everything…right here. But it’s his own continued opening into the most vulnerable and raw places within his heart that has me so deeply trust him.
And it is all three together - wisdom, ground, heart - that has Keith being a man I turn to when I’m faced with the biggest challenges I have.”
Bryce Widom
Professional artist + transformational guide
“Keith’s in-depth understanding of human development really helped us cut quickly to key areas that are holding me back. His samurai sword of clarity and compassion helps me feel safe in our sessions, while his finely calibrated bullshit detector deftly uncovers where I’m fooling myself.”
Mark Bloomfield
former CEO Radiant Labs
"My experience co-facilitating, shoulder-to-shoulder with Keith continues to shift and grow as I witness him beautifully evolving as a man, a leader, and a skillful, courageous, heart-full facilitator. Keith possesses -- and continually refines -- his own rare blend of deep discipline (Zen and Kung Fu are in his bones), a humble and heart-centered practice in relationship to other humans, and a fierceness of sight and challenge that is matched only by his love of laughter and connection. If you're looking for a unique, powerful, insightful, skilled, and loving guide, look no further ."
Jeffrey James Howard
MA, LPC, Soul Guide
“Keith has committed himself to the kind of work that most dare not — he has acknowledged complicated truths that shine light on uncomfortable corners of my reality that demand attention, once seen. He rings the bell that cannot be unrung. He’ll go the edge with you and guide you gracefully beyond it because he’s been there himself… and for this I am infinitely grateful for his presence in my life.”
