Performance Coach

Keith Antoine is a performance coach. He has over 10 years experience in the computer and telecommunications industries, with roles ranging from technical operations to project management, primarily with CASE Communications and NCR Corporation. During the early 90s Keith moved from technical to people development joining The Learning Partnership (later the Covey Leadership Centre UK.)

During this time Keith's development as a Track & Field athletics coach also progressed rapidly. He was the sprints/hurdles/relays coach for the Midlands from the mid-80s to early 90s. He was also Great Britain coach for various sprint & relay events from 1990-95, as well as being personal coach to many international athletes, some to World & Olympic standard, including Helen Frost, Katharine Merry & Darren Campbell. Keith also spent 6 years from 2000 as the National Disability Sprints Coach through the Sydney & Athens Paralympics.

The combination of corporate and athletics experience has produced a talent for high-energy, motivational presentations. Increasingly however, organisations want something more sophisticated than a short-term feel-good effect from a speaker telling their story. Determined to deliver a return on investment to clients, Keith has developed the ability to combine his experience and coaching skills to go beyond motivation, using examples and anecdotes from sport and business to cause an audience to self-generate practical ideas with the express intention of enabling individuals and organisations to make a difference to their performance.

Rapidly creating the same reputation as a coach in business as he has in the world of athletics, author of Working Together [in 90 minutes], Keith's practical approach is engaging and interactive, challenging and fun; sometimes getting the entire audience physically involved. This same approach is applied to his executive & team coaching and workshop sessions.

Keith has worked with multi national companies, including Vodafone, BAE Systems, The Dorchester, Mercedez Benz, Toyota, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Unipart, and GlaxoSmithKline.
