Discover if i am the right coach for you

Lesley Keys Coach with curly dark hair, wearing glasses, smiling, open body language and listening encouragingly to a client with red hair in a room with light green walls and a blue couch.

Choosing a coach is an investment of time, energy, and trust. You deserve a coaching relationship where you feel respected, understood, and able to think clearly. 

When there is alignment, coaching becomes a space for structured reflection, honest challenge, and meaningful progress. 

That’s why I offer a FREE 30 minute call before we begin. It’s a straightforward practical conversation where we explore what you’re looking for and whether we work well together. 

No pressure. No obligation. Just clarity.

  • Every coach has a different style. Here’s what working with me typically feels like: 

    • Structured but conversational 

    • Challenging but respectful 

    • Focused on action, not just insight 

    • Calm, steady, and purposeful 

    You should feel: 

    • Able to think out loud without judgement 

    • Gently stretched rather than overwhelmed 

    • Responsible for your choices, not directed by me 

    • Clearer at the end of the session than at the start 

    I won’t offer mantras, platitudes, or generic self-help advice. My approach is practical, reflective, and grounded in your real-world context, particularly if you carry responsibility, leadership, or high expectations. 

    This isn’t a “nice chat.” It’s focused work on your future.  

    • Value thoughtful, structured conversations 

    • Are open to being challenged constructively 

    • Want accountability without pressure 

    • Are willing to take ownership of your decisions 

    • Prefer steady progress which lasts over dramatic quick fixes that fade

    • You’re looking for direct advice or step-by-step instructions 

    • You want motivational hype rather than reflection 

    • You prefer someone to tell you what to do 

    • You want to offload without self led accountable action

    There are many excellent coaches with different styles. The goal is for you to find the one that supports you best even if that isn’t me. 

  • If during our Discovery Call it becomes clear that another coach or type of support would serve you better, I will always say so. 

    Coaching works best when there is mutual clarity and respect, not persuasion. 

  • Coaching tends to work best when you: 

    • Bring a genuine desire for change 

    • Stay open to examining your assumptions 

    • Take responsibility for your choices 

    • Speak honestly about what is and isn’t working 

    It’s a partnership. You bring your commitment; I bring structure, focus, and challenge.
