What Clients Say
"A couple of years ago I found myself at a professional crossroads which was impacting significantly on me personally.
I had a series of sessions with Steve and found his insightful and intuitive questioning and guidance extremely useful in assessing and navigating what had felt a very complex choice with dead-end options.
His approach stimulated some very necessary, though painful, self-reflection and fresh thinking and was augmented by his referral to additional texts and areas of research.
Steve was confidential, supportive and a necessary challenge to the state I found myself in. The direction I chose as a result of his assistance has been extremely positive – even revolutionary - for me professionally and personally and I am grateful for his prodding.”

"I have known Stephen for many years and have valued his ability to listen carefully and offer measured perspectives on complex issues. After experiencing this myself during a difficult period, I later encouraged two close friends to speak with him when they faced significant personal and professional challenges.
Both later told me that the conversations were extremely helpful in enabling them to think through their situations."

“I was at a point in life when I had both time and need to reflect on and explore personal interests and future aspirations.
Through a series of structured and deliberate conversations with Stephen I was able to step back and consider these aspects more deeply – drawing on past experience, present circumstances, and the possibilities ahead. A valuable aspect of this process was the balance between being able to “dream” about the future and then translating that thinking into a clear, practical and implementable life-plan.
Looking back, nine years later, many of the goals defined during that process have been realised, and the direction remains aligned with who I am. I remain very grateful for Stephen’s professionalism, clarity of thought and guidance at that time.”

“I have found Stephen’s input both practical and grounded. He has a clear and disciplined way of thinking, which enables him to listen carefully and reflect back what is truly being said, often with more clarity than I initially had myself. He helps untangle the competing thoughts that can cloud decision-making and naturally guides conversations toward essential questions about where one is now, where one wishes to be, and what steps may lead forward.”

“Stephen Keet’s coaching conversations were invaluable during a time when I was transitioning from being an employed worker to venturing out on my own and becoming self-employed. He helped me to hone in on a five-year vision for my small business by realistically looking at financial viability, independence and my objectives for making it work as a freelancer.
In our chats, Stephen guided me to focus on strategies and timelines to achieve each of my objectives. This kind of organisational structure is what I really needed to get my small freelancing venture off the ground. I found the coaching useful because I was forced to decide on what I really wanted and hoped to do in the immediate future as well as a few years on and put these ideas and goals onto paper.
It was also most reassuring to speak to someone in a confidential setting. Stephen found the right balance between pushing me to make some important changes and supporting me in making the best decisions for my specific situation.”
