I can honestly share that I have never felt more alive, empowered, prosperous and influential. The high performance habits that Keenan helped me install into my life have brought renewed clarity, energy and courage. On top of that, I feel like I've been unlocked from the fears, choices and practices that were holding me back and I am now facing my life ahead with unstoppable excitement. The benefits of my time with Keenan burn strong, and I'm definitely feeling like I'm now living in flow. Thank you Keenan for this incredible gift.

Before beginning the program I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed with my job, I felt inadequate in all aspects of my life and I was not achieving the most basic of tasks. I was not looking after my health and had no energy. I would go to bed late after wasting time watching TV and then would press snooze until the latest possible moment, before heading off to a job that was not satisfying me. I was frustrated and unhappy, I wanted to give it all up. Something had to change, but I did not know what or how. I was luckily introduced to Keenan from a very good friend. Within only a few weeks working with Keenan, I had been given me some simple tools to switch my mindset, he also held me accountable to make the necessary changes to my habits that were holding me back. I now bounce out of bed, go read my purpose statement which gives me the motivation to attack the day. I meditate and stretch which gives my mind and body balance and then I eat a healthy breakfast. I now have so much clarity and purpose, and I have the energy and also the courage to take on anything I set my mind to. It wasn't easy but I did the work! In my time with Keenan, I have reunited with my brother and father after almost 8 years without talking, I have faced my deepest fears and offset many out of balanced beliefs that I was unconsciously carrying around with me. I have a deeper commitment to being present with my wife, family, friends, and colleagues. They are not only happy with my new outlook on life and energy, but they are also inspired to improve their game. I recently ran a marathon, never really being a runner, and I am soon to participate in an Ironman competition. In addition, I completed my AFF Skydiving A license. Being afraid of flying this has been a monumental challenge. I am achieving more at work although I am working less. All of this has been an incredible journey and I am thankful to Keenan for his guidance and many tools he has shared.

High Performance Starts With Insight. I recently undertook four months of intense high-performance coaching with Keenan Crisp – in short, it was life-changing! It's fair to say that I had spent more money on servicing my car over the past three decades, neglecting self-development, post my formal graduate studies. Over that time several habits, thoughts, and emotions had developed that were adversely impacting my performance, as well as those around me, including my family. With Keenan's expert and patient assistance, I was able to develop frameworks and skills to better deal with life's challenges, and I have never been so at peace. As a leader in the organisation I founded, the impact on my performance and my team has been profound following the coaching. I would encourage anyone who leads teams, who might not be performing at their best, who might be unhappy with some aspect of their lives, or anyone that sometimes finds that their emotions can get the better of them, then you will achieve immense benefits from doing the enjoyable (and sometimes difficult) work with Keenan.

Having known and worked with Keenan at a business and personal level for over 15 years it is a privilege to recommend him. The corporate program Keenan delivered yielded measurable results at a time when the culture needed radical change. I highly recommend Keenan for both business and personnel coaching, leadership programs and of course keynote speaking!

Before starting the FFSC program I felt extremely overwhelmed and stressed at work. This was causing a lot of frustration for me in all aspects of my life and I felt depressed most days because of that. After completing the program I feel the complete opposite. Keenan has given me the ability to reclaim my mindset and be more conscious on what I focus on. The topics covered in the program has enabled me to level up all aspects of my life! Keenan is an amazing teacher and he's had such a profound impact on my life. I'm looking forward to many more years of coaching with him.

As a startup, there was a point where I hit a motivational wall. Keenan's coaching and guidance, his introduction to the ORCA method (Outcomes, Reasons, Challenges, Actions) and just his pure emphathy, changed everything. It helped me focus on the right actions, stay present, and keep life in balance. Despite distractions and decision fatigue, this strategy got me back on track. I was able to prioritize my tasks effectively, focusing on what's urgent versus what's important. Keenan reminded me of my overall motivation, the one that gets me up every morning, and stressed the importance of enjoying the journey, not just the destination. His method helped me cut through the noise, manage distractions, and balance all aspects of life for genuine success.
Chris Gath
Founder, Specify Consulting
“
I've had the privilege of working with Keenan as my high performance business coach, and I can confidently say the impact has been significant, both personally and professionally. Keenan has an exceptional ability to cut through noise, challenge assumptions, and bring clarity to complex decisions. His coaching goes far beyond motivation; it's deeply strategic, grounded in accountability, and focused on sustainable performance. Through our work together, I've improved how I think, lead, prioritise, and execute, especially under pressure and/or during periods of growth. Keenan doesn't let you hide behind excuses, and he understands the realities of building and scaling a business. The result has been way more clarity, sharper decision making, better discipline, and a much clearer sense of direction personally and professionally. I would highly recommend Keenan to any founder, leader, or business owner who is serious about elevating their performance, strengthening their mindset, and building something meaningful without burning out. Thank you Keenan!

I was referred to Keenan's High-Performance Course at a very challenging point in my life of finding myself, fulfilling a new role helping look after my family and what proved to be the crucible for genuine change. This low point in my life personally, professionally and in relationships helped equip me with drive to utilise my existing strengths, determination and passion. The standard and advanced courses with Keenan helped hone these inherent traits, self belief and very importantly accountability. This fundamentally helped equip me with a foundational skill and tool set to tackle a wide variety of obstacles Life has on offer. I genuinely feel this inherent self empowerment skill set has helped drive me to new heights in all sectors of my life, and giving me a healthy respect for mindfulness and the added benefit of self awareness. The process certainly was not easy at times, but nothing worthwhile in life is. This has been a challenging year also and I believe it has helped chart unknown waters, very thankful for my time with Keenan as the resulting journey and perspective continues to bolster me.

Keenan Crisp knows how to get the best out of others- he is a wonderful combo of thoughtful and sensitive but knows how to lay down a challenge when needs be. I highly recommend him as a coach, mentor, yoga teacher and friend. Thank you Keenan.

The reason why I chose to work with Keenan was because I was feeling overwhelmed, stressed, snappy at home and I was unable to let things go. Once I started the program I discovered things about myself that I had not known. As I developed new habits and became armed with new self-empowerment tools, I started feeling better about life in general. I've become more relaxed at home and at work. I don't take things as personally as I used to and I take time to prepare for situations, hence I'm far more intentional, ie pro-active and much less reactive. I've come a long way and am very grateful for Keenan and the process that he offers.

This FFSC program is Amazing. Keenan's coaching changed my life. Before I wasn't in a good place, I knew I had power in me but was not applying it to my life. I was frustrated and depressed because of that. Keenan put all the stars back into alignment for me. Now I feel more organized, more powerful and I feel people follow me as their true leader. Most importantly I am now A LOT happier, not only at work, but at home with my family and my wife Anna. I am excited to spend quality time with family and friends, and my performance went 3 levels up. I am living with passion and confidence and I feel I inspire others to do the same. Keenan, thank you for changing my life. I will always be grateful for this.

With a very full plate and feeling extremely overwhelmed with life, all the "hats" I wear and responsibilities that come with them, I began the FFSC program with Keenan. I can truly say that my life changed for the better! An increase in clarity, in productivity and overall self-love were some of the results that I experienced. I now feel more positive and my behaviour particularly in my relationships has improved. Keenan is wonderful to work with and I truly recommend him and the FFSC program.

At first I was not convinced to start this path because I was afraid of a change, I was afraid of talking to someone who could change my life, but I accepted the "challenge". Already at the first lesson, however, I had changed my mind. Keenan helped me "fix" my way of seeing and doing things. He helped me to regain that lightness that I had lost for years, only with the first session he had already conquered me and I couldn't wait to explore all this way. He brought me back to my main street, helping me understand how I could do to make things better. I have balanced my life, professional and private, and now I can say that I am living 100% of my every single day, with a different energy and perspective, with no more fear. I'll be always thankful to Keenan!

Keenan presented a compelling, insightful and motivating address to my team of 25 financial services professionals, with excellent takeaways for each person to implement. Keenan's knowledge and passion on high performance was resounding and the framework he shared has since helped me and my team go on to further personal and collective success.

When I initially approached Keenan to begin High Performance Coaching, I was feeling run down, sleepless, perpetually busy, lost, stressed, directionless and uninspired. I was running a business that I didn't want to run anymore, but I wasn't sure even how to begin the process of selling, and my life didn't feel like my own – I wasn't truly living, it felt like I was running around with a bucket, trying to put out fires. Whilst working with Keenan, I successfully sold my business, designed my dream schedule, changed my unhealthy living arrangements, developed a routine which allows for healthy sleep habits, have scheduled free time for relaxing, have broken time-wasting habits that were no longer serving me (eg. procrastinating my 'life work' by distracting myself with 'busy' work). With the use of simple triggers, I've become more aware and present to my thoughts and behaviours and am able to make conscious decisions to change them to more positive and productive patterns. My life, including career, relationships and finances, seems to be moving forward and upward rather than stagnant and I'm beginning to experience the payoff for putting this new way of being into action. When I feel myself slipping out of High Performance Habits, I am hyper aware and know what to do to keep moving forward. Keenan's approach is really helpful, he's patient, understanding and kind but also very honest. A special quality that he has is an incredible amount of knowledge that he can easily translate through story, analogy and metaphor – making it really accessible. He's been so supportive throughout the process. I can't recommend Keenan enough, he's made such a positive impact on my life and I'm looking forward to more coaching with Keenan soon.

I am ex military and currently working as a professional firefighter. Through the last 5 years I had lost my direction, self discipline and all aspects of my life were being affected, the worst being my family life. I initially thought that my ambition and goals weren't large enough to enlist a performance coach. But, I came to see that working on yourself is one of the biggest goals anyone can have and thanks to Keenan's guidance, I was able to re-establish, structure, positive routines that I thrive on and reconnect with who I am. Thank you, Keenan.

KC is a modern day Sorcerer. He calmly and boldly pushes you into areas you need to go to have the life you want. His mix of alternative and modern high performance based practices saw huge changes unfold across the full spectrum of my life. I'm looking forward to many more years of coaching with KC

When I started coaching with Keenan, I was feeling useless, unhappy, lost, and sad. I was stuck in my thoughts that put me inside a rabbit hole I couldn't get out of it. It was hard the first two sessions because I had to face my fears but Keenan encourage me since minute 1 to do it, and I cannot be more thankful. Keenan has taught me a process where I can use to balance my beliefs to live a happy (for no good reason) life. After working with him and going through the process I am more confident in all that I do, I feel good, and I am happy again. Understanding and going through the process has opened new ways to understand, know and accept myself better. Now I have the power to practice on my own. I am confident to face whatever life brings me or puts me through. Thanks Keenan for helping me to help myself.

I first came across Keenan from a social media ad he was running back in 2020. We had a consult call and I was throughly impressed. I've done self-development coaching in the past and used to read a lot about self-development practices so everything he was talking about aligned with me perfectly. Later on, he sent me a video about mindsets and it blew my mind as this was exactly what I was suffering. Upon joining his coaching I only wanted the mindset course material he taught but realised there was a lot more to his methods. He is extremely thorough and highly motivated for his clients. He always checked in with me and was constantly sending me pieces of priceless wisdom throughout the course. I really do feel these skills I've learnt are something which will help me for the rest of my life. I couldn't put a price on how valuable the techniques are that I learnt with Keenan.

Keenan is fantastic to work with and proved invaluable in the coaching we had. I love that he actually cares and caters to your outcomes. It's not just been an enjoyable process in performance and development, but a shift in foundational thinking – which since, has consistently proven to be lasting. I was amazed at the wealth of knowledge and tools he had to approach any situation. Most people would gain benefit from sessions with him and also owe it to themselves if they are interested in reaching another level of performance, growth or even just exploring their potential. Highly recommended.
