COACHING STYLE AND APPROACH

Keith’s coaching style is considered and deliberate in response to the nature of the engagement and the counterpart’s needs. A variety of methods are employed which lean on contemporary neuroscience, positive psychology, psycho-social dynamics, narrative approaches, game theory, systems theory, social and organisational leadership theory and practice, and deep understanding of organisational culture.

BUSINESS EXPERIENCE

Keith has ten years of experience in the corporate sector in London where, in a number of international law firms, he fulfilled a variety of leadership and training roles specialising in compliance, risk assessment, project management and legal accountancy. A coaching approach and fostering of positive partnerships were essential to serve the needs of all stakeholders including senior partners, directors, high profile clients, cross-cultural corporate entities, and law enforcement. The role demanded strategic planning, versatility and refined interpersonal skills, especially the ability to build trust and purpose. This experience provided excellent grounding for when Keith arrived in Australia and transitioned into the education, training, coaching and mentoring sectors. In total, he has spent over twenty years in leadership, management, and administration at the middle and senior levels.
