Giovani Pilu

Chef, Restaurateur

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.

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!

Alessandro Pavoni's review of Foundations For Success Coaching

Alessandro Pavoni

Chef, Restaurateur

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 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.

Keenan is a rare master. Rare because of his altruism and generosity with success. He doesn’t hold himself out to be higher or mightier. He pitches his programs to the potential in all of us. We are all included in the potential for self-awareness. His teachings are underpinned by an acknowledgment of equality among our lives. I feel as though his work is an offering to life itself. On a practical level, Keenan’s success in managing his own mind is palpable and clearly demonstrated in the way he relates to his students. I learned to recognise, acknowledge and cast light on the unconscious habits of thinking which have been dictating my reactions and constraining my sense of who I am. I built awareness around the ‘triggers’ which hot-wire me to my limiting core beliefs. The program makes clever use of language that helped me to ‘balance’ and ’transform’ limiting core beliefs. Unlike many other modern self-help programs, we are not expected to throw out or smash the core beliefs which no longer serve us. We learn to honour ourselves in our entirety. I came to appreciate the power of self-awareness as a solution to my suffering. I revisited the question “Who am I?”. I learned to step into my power of choice. I became a conscious author of my identities and labels. Conveniently this method doesn’t require us to organise time out for practice. Life is the practice. Keenan is a compassionate and trustworthy guide who accompanied me to the darkest corners of my minds without judgment. His is brave work. Foundations For Success Coaching has made a big difference in my life. This program is a priceless treasure, as valuable as peace is. Sincere thanks and big love to you Keenan Crisp!

I’ve just completed Keenan’s 6 weeks Mindset Mastery Course. As a result of the program I am now more engaged and aware of my habitual behaviours and feel empowered. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to transform their lives. Izabela.

Rachele Perini

Manager at Ormeggio

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!

Martino Pilu

Discretionary trader

Before coaching I was missing any direction and was just going through the motions. During and after coaching I found more purpose and perspective as to why I love doing what I do. I have also found a better understanding of life arenas and to better balance different aspects of life.

Ieuan Lobban

COO at Firemane

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.

Ben Cummings

General Manager at Sydney Restaurant Group

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.

Professional Firefighter

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

Rus Fol

Sole Trader – Adelaide Glaziers

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.

Anna Pavoni Restauranter

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.

Daniel Sofo

Director, Unicorn Buyer’s Agents

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.

Ute Koehler

Freelance, Event & Operation manager

Thank you Keenan for a wonderful learning experience. Your enthusiasm and your profound knowledge were not only very inspiring, but it was also thought-provoking which allowed me to look a bit deeper into several aspects of mylife. Thank you!

Bernie Harrison

Nutritionist

Working with Keenan has been like ‘an awakening’ He provided clear techniques and tips to improve my productivity, goals and focus, which have helped me shape the direction for my career, my role as a mother and life generally. Every week Keenan’s wisdom and experience were reflected as continuous reminders of how to remain focused, present and yet fulfilled, practicing and developing the habits I need to kick start my business and the achievements I want in my life. Some of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt are to surrender, be present and be more aware of the bigger picture. I would highly recommend Keenan’s coaching as a wonderful experience to ‘give yourself a good shake’ and wake up to what you want in your life.

John Wanis

Project Director, Operations & Business Transition

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.

Eve-Lauren Gindein

Pilates and yoga instructor/entrepreneur

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.

Kristin Spence

Yoga Teacher

A teacher I admire, respect and love dearly, Keenan gives everything he’s got to his students and clients. His 12 week High Performance Coaching program changed my life in every way and I can’t thank him enough for his generosity, wisdom and support. He continues to inspire me daily both in my practice and in my career and I cannot wait to do one of his retreats!!!

Andrew Fairweather

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.

Graham Argent

One of the amazing qualities Keenan possesses is patience in a students/clients development whilst on a journey of personal growth. Keenan’s wealth of knowledge and genuine proactive personality has been the ingredient to his success in assisting others to find health and happiness .
Well done Keenan
Keep up the good work.

Laura Ballester

Pastry Chef

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.

Jascha Henry Woodward

Sole Director, J. F. Woodward Enterprises Principle

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..

My wife, Myrelle, has terminal brain cancer and Keenan has been fantastic for her. She can now talk openly about her illness. Kennan has given her courage and strength to take each day as it comes and not be afraid of the future, what ever it may be. Myrelle looks forward to her vibrant discussions with Kennan about life, death, and everything in between.
