About Me

Keith Hanna

I’ve been working for more than thirty years as a professional designer and coach with some of Canada’s premiere entrepreneurs, leaders and executive teams.

If you’re here, something has changed or is changing in your personal life and business. And that change is hard and risky.

I’m here to help you make a more significant economic and social impact.

Get Started

But something’s in the way

It’s not what you think it is

It’s not the market. It’s not the economy. It’s not your team, friends or family. It’s you. You’re the problem (and the solution).

It’s what you don’t know about yourself that’s in the way of your personal and business growth.

are you willing to do the work (that most people aren’t) to reveal your blindspots?

WHAT THEY SAY

“Leading change is tough. And it is even more difficult to execute successfully on your own.  I was introduced to Keith and Tania in January 2021 and they worked with me and my senior leadership team for about two and a half years, right up to a very successful sale of our business. We started with broad corporate objectives, revisited Mission, Vision and Values and transitioned the management culture within the business from one of secrecy and silos to a new version with transparency and collaboration. Keith kept us keenly aware of our collective blindspots while Tania worked closely with smaller teams to assure completion of the many smaller projects that contributed to the overall success of the business.  This was a very effective addition to my toolbox!”
Mike Powell
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Keith for more than fifteen years and working with him as my business coach through personally transformative times. He has the ability to cut through the noise, ask the tough questions and get to the core of what makes us tick. Keith helped me understand what drives me and navigate through some complex decisions with greater clarity and conviction. His guidance was instrumental in helping me level up as a business leader and a person. I’m grateful to have worked with Keith and for the depth of experience he brings to his clients. I’d recommend Keith to anyone serious about unlocking their next chapter.”

“For over a year, our team has had the privilege of working with Keith and Tania as our coaches—and the impact has been exceptional. They consistently deliver high-quality sessions that have significantly contributed to both individual and team development, striking a strong balance between strategic guidance and personal connection.
Tania has excelled at creating clarity and focus, developing a concise roadmap tailored to our goals. Her ability to connect with the team, understand our dynamics, and offer actionable direction has been instrumental in our progress.
Keith brings thoughtful insight and perspective, offering support that complements Tania’s strategic direction. Together, they’ve fostered a coaching environment that encourages growth, accountability, and collaboration.
Thanks to their efforts, we’ve seen measurable improvements in communication, alignment, and cohesion. We’re grateful for their continued partnership and highly recommend them to any organization looking to elevate team performance and long-term development.”
