‘Ken is highly relatable but not afraid to linger on a point that needs more exploration. He helped me focus on tangible actions that I could take to move toward my goals.

S. Luke – Real Estate Development Services, Executive Performance Coaching
-
As a personal & executive performance coach, I am committed to helping individuals achieve their desired outcomes by unlocking their full potential and gaining deeper insight into their beliefs and behaviors.
I cultivate a supportive and empowering environment for my clients using presence, intentional listening, effective questioning, curiosity, and intuition.
My coaching style emphasizes identifying and reframing limiting beliefs, and I use my intuition to guide clients toward actions that align with their best interests.
Ultimately, my focus is on helping clients gain greater self-awareness and take intentional action toward their goals to achieve meaningful personal growth.
-
As your one-on-one coach, I strive to create a relaxed and friendly environment where kindness, empathy, and respect are prioritized. Our coaching sessions will be a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, and I will challenge and stretch your current thinking to help you recognize areas of resistance in your thinking or self-sabotaging beliefs that may be holding you back.
Our coaching framework follows three key parts: the beginning, where we check-in and determine the focus for the session; the middle, where we delve into the topic and explore it; and the ending, where we assess the insights you've gained, note any important decisions, and determine what support you may need to put your new learnings into action.
If you're new to coaching with me, I may suggest using assessments like the MBTI, Clifton Strengths, Positive Intelligence, RHETI Enneagram, and Belbin Team Roles as a starting point for our conversations. These assessments serve as "personality indicators" and can help us understand your natural tendencies, your strengths, how you may sabotage yourself, your group orientation, and your preferred roles in a team or board setting. However, it's important to remember that these assessments are simply tools and should not be used to define you.
Whether you're facing business or personal issues, no topic is too big or small for our coaching sessions. By discussing these challenges and exploring different options, you'll be able to gain clarity and make satisfying decisions with confidence.
I'll listen closely to what you say and don't say and use powerful questions to help you uncover new insights. I'll provide support and encouragement as you work towards your goals and hold you accountable to the actions you've committed to.
I'm eager to work with you and help you reach your full potential. If you're ready to get started or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a session with me.
— Ken
