Keith Gilmore

Who I am:

Hello, my name is Keith Gilmore.

I care deeply about the work that I do, and I stand behind it with my entire being. It brings me joy to be in service in this way.

I’ve been coaching professionally since 2014 and have served hundreds of people over that time.

In my professional life, I’ve co-founded two successful businesses. Plus I serve as the president of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works to benefit the Portland community.

I’m a public speaker who has appeared on various stages at large-scale conferences. And I’m a writer who is currently working on a book of essays. I also write a Substack publication called Culture & Psyche.

I’ve previously worked as a college instructor. For over two years, I volunteered weekly on the national suicide crisis line counseling people in their hour of greatest need.

I’ve worked with everyone from founders and executives, to military veterans and medical practitioners, to changemakers and visionaries, to teenagers and young adults, to couples and families.

In my personal life, I am a curious seeker who values uncompromising honesty and the exploration of varying perspectives in opposition to dogmatic thinking.

Some activities I love are playing chess, training muay thai, riding my bike, studying Jungian psychology, reading, writing, weightlifting, and dancing.

A few years ago, I participated in a rite of passage ceremony known as Vision Quest, where I spent three days of ritual observance alone in the mountains of Utah while fasting from food and water.

I’m a lover of life with a warm presence and a positive attitude. I am consistently seeking greater alignment within myself and take my own psycho-spiritual self work seriously.

How I can help you:

I don't favor the term ‘life coach,’ though I utilize it in my web presence so that people can find their way to me. In my heart, I view myself more as an advisor.

To my mind, an advisor is someone who provides sage counsel to help provoke wise decisions. Kings and queens, cultural and religious leaders, and life practitioners of all manner have utilized advisors since the dawn of culture.

It is the stance of the humble and confident pursuer of excellence that recognizes the profound value of a well-seasoned, practiced and honest advisor. This is someone who has your back unequivocally, who sees what you are capable of, and who wants the best for you.

This is my role. I’m here to provide accountability when you feel stuck, support when you feel alone, focus when you feel scattered, direction when you feel lost, encouragement when you feel depleted, and help in all situations

If you are anxious about the future, I can help you find stability in the present. If you are suffering from a lack of meaning, I can help you connect with a deep sense of purpose. If you are struggling in your relationship, or at work, I can help you find the clarity and strength to communicate what it is you need.

I am here to help provide motivation, accountability, perspective, honest feedback, and absolute support for you as you work to bring yourself into alignment and live the life your heart desires.
