Keith Merron's workshop and book on Transformational Coaching provided me with a clear pathway to help my clients without unconsciously inserting myself into the process. My prior approach had been holding me back and was undermining my own self-confidence in the coaching process. The workshop transformed my approach and to me, that means it works! I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to help their clients to achieve their own goals.

Hi Keith: Just wanted to write you a note to let you know how much I loved and appreciated your course in Transformational Coaching. I have taken it all (Hudson Institute training, Strozzi Somatic Coach, and a raft of additional certifications and supervisions). Your course has been one of the absolute best. You have helped me be a better coach. Since the first class where you contracted with the group until the last class where I had the privilege of working on one of my issues, you exemplified the transformational power of creating just right blend of empathy, compassion, and accountability between the coach and client. What I take away the most is the importance of stepping up to hold the tensile strength of the connection in coaching. Without it, the coaching becomes flat, too much and the coaching becomes prescriptive. Just the right amount and both the coach and client are alert, connected, and curious. Thank you for embodying these important principles.
Julia Holloway Executive Coach
Keith‘s Coaching workshop is a deeper, more comprehensive take on coaching issues and coaching effectiveness. His investigation of paradigms, access to transformation and clearly delineated process steps allow for strong direction and flexibility. If you’re looking for a comprehensive insightful view of coaching that allows coaches to become much more effective, this is the workshop for you.
William Stevens, Managing Partner of the Fulcrum Group and EEngine Coaching Services
Keith brings a wealth of coaching experience to this training. He provides both a rigorous framework for coaching for transformation, as well as covering the coaching “basics” that are required to successfully use it. Because of that, this course would be useful both for experienced coaches interested in making a transformative difference for their clients, as well as those without formal training in coaching, but with the aptitude and desire to become coaches.
Bill Hunter, SeeChange Consulting
Taking Keith's Transformational Coaching workshop has without a doubt changed the way I view my self, and how I will be working with my clients. To learn that often what the client is presenting is usually fueled by a/many paradigms was groundbreaking for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed his lectures learning about this, and found the practice coaching sessions to be extremely helpful in working through and understanding the transformation process. Thank you Keith for your knowledge and insight - it has shifted my inner world.
Lexi Hyman, Life Coach
I joined the Art of Transformational Coaching workshop because I knew and trusted Keith from a previous retreat experience, and I'm walking way with an even bigger appreciation for his wisdom and expertise. I've been in the coaching business for a few years, and this course has given me new tools for delivering more value to my clients and for supporting my own personal development goals. It's a compassionate, client-centered, whole-person approach for helping folks to lean into what they want and figure out what's getting in the way.
Chris Kisling, Executive Coach
This class has given me a framework that helps me understand why some of what I do as a consultant/coach has worked well, and how and where I could have a bigger impact more consistently. It is not a cookie-cutter approach like so many other programs seem to be. It has expanded my appreciation of the role of coaches, clarified what “good” looks like in coaching, and given me the tools and knowledge about how to stay on the right path during a coaching process.
Debbie Morris, Organization Consultant/Coach
I've participated in a number of coaching workshops, and I experienced Keith Merron's The Art of Transformational Coaching Workshop as remarkably clear and highly applicable to my work. The simplicity in his model and the numerous references to source material and other models helped put the methods into context, and Keith's presentation, teaching and leadership style is also notably clear, grounded, and effective. Perhaps most of all, he was able to present in a way that kept the focus on the material, as opposed to the presenter. I wholeheartedly recommend The Art of Transformational Coaching workshop to anyone seeking powerful methods for coaching and transformation.
Bowen Dwelle, Transformational Coach
If you've wondered how to facilitate Transformational Change for your clients, Keith's Class has the answers. He gives you a process to drive your client's transformation. You learn it, practice it, and debrief what worked and where you got stuck. It's chock full of references and Keith uses many models to build his concept until you can see it clearly.
Karen Cornwell, Leadership and Inclusiveness Coach, Author of “You Can’t Fix What You Can’t See
Keith Merron has devoted years to studying paradigms and transformations and how they are connected. His insights on how we operate, and what observations and changes are really necessary to make lasting change in our lives are gentle and helpful, and his willingness to work with his students and acknowledge his own paradigms makes him more believable and accessible and therefore helpful.
Jane Bath, Nurse
Through his many years of experience as a consultant, coach and author, Keith has come to thoroughly embody the material and perspectives that he invites other coaches to explore. His course material is very deeply thought-out, organized and expressed, and his presentations are very engaging. Even more important, his capacity for modeling good coaching presence, while carefully asking insightful questions that both probe and provoke, is quite profound. I have recommended this training to other coaches who have also discovered many treasures both in the process of taking it and in witnessing firsthand in the throughtful way in which Keith works with students and clients.
Barbara L. Schultz, InsightOut Coach
Keith is an excellent facilitator who brings to bear his extensive experience and wisdom in transformational coaching. This course brings together highly motivated and engaged professionals looking to deliver transformative experiences to their clients. I have valuable new tools and connections that I'm taking with me.
