Testimonials

The leadership team is still raving about Keith’s professionalism, facilitation skills and direct style. To quote our VP, “The best I have ever worked with.”

He has helped me grow professionally in confidence and competence. When I have a particular challenge, whether it’s in the area of board development, human resources or planning, the first person I think of to help me is Keith Speers.

Within the first few months of working with Keith, he helped me implement the two year plan I had developed for my business in less than 90 days by coaching me on eliminating barriers, developing systems of leverage, and focusing on what I do best. As an entrepreneur, it’s tough to find people who have both large organization best practices experience and entrepreneurial environment acumen, and can combine the two to help an entrepreneur move a business forward quickly.

Since meeting him 3 years ago, Keith Speers has been guiding me personally and professionally. His guidance helped me double my salary, live in the heart of one of the best neighborhoods in the country, and meet and build relationships with fantastic people all over Columbus. Do yourself, your life, and your career a favor and check him out. It will be one of the best decisions you make.

Keith led our team in a one-hour mini-strategy session to challenge us to be “customer-centric.” It was the most efficient and effective strategy session I had ever experienced!

Rock star Keith Speers is whipping my productivity and business planning into shape – love it.

Having served with Keith on numerous community boards and non-profit committees, I have seen him work miracles when given limited time and limited resources. He has been nothing short of transformative for the organizations with whom he’s served and I’m proud, and fortunate, to call him my go-to resource.

Ever been in a situation where you don’t know that magic is happening until after it’s already happened? That’s exactly how I feel every time I leave a business discussion with Keith. He is a genius at facilitation…so much so that you don’t even know you’re being facilitated. Keith so deftly steers people into positive moment, they don’t even know they’re being steered until they reach their destination.

Keith Speers is genuine. Knowledgeable and professional, kind and courteous, he approaches individuals with the sort of disarming charm that belies his extensive experience as a business “power player.” My meetings with Keith have been amazing mini-conferences packed with knowledge and inspiration. I’ve left each encounter with a renewed sense of direction and a clearer goal. His advice on business and balance has impacted me in a tremendously positive manner. I recommend Keith highly and without hesitation.

I was fortunate to work with Keith while getting Rocket Code off the ground, and I'm fortunate to know him, still. Keith provided structured support and accountability, with the sage advice and tough love required while starting and building an organization. If I could offer one piece of advice to my former self it'd be—Listen. Really, really listen. And when Keith says something that you don't understand or that you don't think applies to you, have the self-assuredness and confidence to speak up and say "Hey Keith, I know you wouldn't be telling me this if you didn't think it was important. But I'm having trouble connecting the dots. Can you elaborate, so that I can see what I'm missing?" Keith is a difference-maker and a quality consultant but, more importantly, a quality human. He cares about the businesses he consults for, and for the humans running them.
