The unapologetic pursuit of what matters to you
David Keating Coaching helps high-potential executives enhance their professional and personal impact and achieve mastery to break through to the next level.
The DKC Approach
With more than 35 years of experience in corporate America, David Keating offers a trusting connection with clients. He “speaks the same language” and understands your specific job requirements, work pressures, and organizational cultures. David uses a three-part process that is performance-driven, practical, and precise.
Performance-Driven
High-performance means a “seat at the table” whereas middling performance risks obsolescence and irrelevance. Effective results require that the client engage in courageous self-exploration into hidden assumptions, negative “scripts” and misunderstandings about the true nature of executive leadership. Breakthrough performance is more than the sum of our actions; it is the transformation of who we are and how we think.
Practical
David tackles real world leadership issues. He offers the best of his experience, as well as proven leadership and organizational models. If an idea has worked in a real life setting, then David offers it to his clients. If it hasn’t, it is left on the shelf – results are what matter.
Precise
David’s approach is built on trust. Within that trust coach and client co-create specific highly customized solutions for each client’s unique environment and goal development. Action plans, and “test and learn” strategies are carefully tailored to fit authentically with each client’s personality, background, and emotional makeup.
“Working with David I felt a weight had been lifted and now I am more confident and focused than ever before.”
