Testimonials on Keith Barton, Virtual Executive Coach
"I've worked with Keith over the past three years on the ICF leadership team for MentorCoach and have consistently found his comments sensitive and always thoughtful. He is highly respected in the coaching community amongst his colleagues and exemplifies excellent skills in team building and team maintenance.
His expert assistance in exam development and in the editing of our ICF application was especially appreciated by our team members.
Overall, Keith is an exceptional member of our team as he is able to
assess and then produce work over a wide range of skill sets. Keith has both vision and the ability and patience to handle large amount of detail. This is a rare combination and I am very lucky to be one of his teammates."

"Keith Barton is a knowledgeable, innovative, highly motivating, and business savvy Executive Coach. Unlike some other Executive Coaches with whom I have worked, Keith does not subscribe to the "one size fits all" coaching model when working with his clients to design career-building and successful business solutions.
In contrast, Keith brings an effective integration of pragmatic experience and critical thinking skills to every coaching encounter, as well as a laser focus on each of his client's unique individual and organizational circumstances. I have worked with Keith on both small and large (3-year) projects, and he is the first person I would recommend to anyone who seeks intelligent, exemplary Executive Coaching."

"I have worked with Keith for over a year and have really enjoyed him and his expert coaching. He has helped me to grow my own coaching practice, nearly from scratch, to where it is today. I have new skills, new clients, and even a web-presence thanks to Keith's gentle, insightful, and often thought provoking guidance. Thanks, Keith!"
Jane Drucker, Ph.D.
"Keith and I go back to our undergraduate days at the University of Texas at Austin when we waited training tables for the football team. Keith has the unique qualities of being a self-starter. He finished his Ph.D. in three years, went on to study business and consulting with Fortune 500 companies in the 70s, has started and successfully managed two businesses and is an expert in succession planning with small businesses.
Keith served as our examination developer for our application with the International Coach Federation and is a valued member of our training team. Knowing Keith has been a distinct privilege. It's a joy to watch his exciting growth as a coach and leader within the MentorCoach community."

"I worked with Keith when I was in the process of deciding to make a
dramatic career change after a number of years in the same field. It was a very tough decision to make. Keith was outstanding at highlighting all the issues surrounding the various options and pointing me towards the tools I needed to map out the next steps.
Perhaps thanks to his extensive training in psychology or his own diverse background, he had some excellent insights into what holds people back and why they eventually make changes. In the end, I made the leap and am in the process of moving towards a goal I've had since my teenage years but never fully acted on. He really cares about his clients and definitely helped me gain the confidence I needed."

I met Keith when I was going through a particularly painful experience in my career. I was immediately drawn to Keith's coaching style because, unlike others I talked to, he didn't encourage or allow me to feel like a victim. He focused entirely on getting me out of a bad situation and into a better one where I could grow and flourish. He continues to support me, both emotionally and with practical tips and suggestions, as I work to pursue my ultimate dreams and goals in life.
