ABOUT KEITH
Why I do this
Once upon a time, I sold health insurance. It was a horrible fit for me, but I needed to make money, I'd been recruited into the business, and that's what I was doing.
One evening I attended a networking event at the Georgia Aquarium. More than 500 people were in the room. I knew some of them and most of the thought they knew me.
A woman named Angela came up to me. We knew each other. She was doing the kind of one-to-one work that I would later train to do. She gave me a big hug and whispered: "You need to come see me."
In a room filled with more than 500 people, Angela may have been the only person who looked at me and recognized that I was crashing and burning.
I didn't particularly want to go see her. But I figured if I didn't, I'd never get rid of her. So I went.
After an hour in her office, I had something I hadn't had before: Hope that my life could change.
I saw Angela another five or six times. Somewhere along the way, I realized: I want to do for other people what she's doing for me.
So I left the sales job. I went back to school. And here I am.
The work I do today doesn't look exactly like the work Angela did with me. It has evolved through education, training, experience, and countless conversations. But the reason I do it hasn't changed very much.
Sometimes a person needs someone to notice. Angela noticed me.
Questions became more important than answers.
Over the course of my life, I've had several careers. Look for the thread running through them and you'll find that much of my life has involved helping people get from where they are to where they'd like to be.
Over time, I became less interested in having answers and increasingly interested in questions - especially questions that cause someone to stop and notice something they hadn't noticed before.
I don't believe I need to know what's best for you. I'm interested in your experience, what you would like to be different, and what we might discover through genuine curiosity together.
My background
I hold a bachelor's degree in Mass Communications from the University of Georgia and a Master of Divinity from Southern Seminary, where my studies focused on philosophy and theology. I later trained through Right Path Hypnosis and earned certifications from the National Guild of Hypnotists and the International Certification Board of Coaches and Hypnotists. I've worked professionally with clients since 2019 and continue to devote approximately ten hours each week to continuing education.
How I describe the work today
The professional category I use is Conversational Hypnotherapy. The experience I provide is Conversations That Matter.
I don't rely on a scripted process, a formal hypnotic induction or post hypnotic suggestions. I rely on something simpler: The beauty and elegance of a conversation between two people.
