About Keady Phelan

Enneagram and Leadership Coach

Your transformational journey begins here

Do you feel like there’s MORE inside you? Is something else waiting for you? Potential you’re holding back on?

As a heart-centered and capable leader, maybe you’ve had a sense for a while…

There’s something in the way of who you are and who you want to be

Overwhelm and daily obstacles tip the precarious balance between your professional and personal life
On paper, there’s proof of your success, yet you still feel inadequate or inferior and in constant fear of judgment
You put the needs of others first, giving them priority over yours
You watch helplessly as someone else takes credit for your ideas and rises
The booming voice of comparison feels all-consuming
Your inner critic reminds you daily of the many ways you’ve deemed yourself unworthy

You crave contentment, peace, and alignment throughout your life. You want to show up and be seen as you are.

You’re tired of “going through the motions” as a leader and you desire a more joyful way of being. You’re ready to get out of your own way and step into the authentic, confident leader you know you are inside.

I’m all too familiar with these feelings

In my journey, I’ve faced and overcome self-doubt, pressure to conform, comparison, overwhelm, and feelings of inadequacy.

As an ICF-Accredited and Certified Deep Coaching Professional leadership and Enneagram coach, I want to see you step into who you’re meant to be in this world. I know firsthand that no matter what you’re facing or up against, there is a way through!

Through this deep self-discovery work, I’ve reclaimed my sense of balance. I’ve gotten clarity of purpose and embodied JOY. Today, I guide leaders and emerging leaders to find this for themselves. Inviting them to make the impact they came here to make with care, compassion, and courage.

about me

Hi! I’m Keady Phelan

As your leadership coach and guide, I provide the supportive space you need to do the healing work as you let go of limiting beliefs and learn to access your inner knowing.

I help you fully express yourself who you are, and become the leader you know you can be. Boldly embodying the leader you are.

I’m an ICF-Accredited and Certified Deep Coaching Professional leadership and Enneagram coach and a Master Certified Mentor with the Deep Coaching Institute. I’m certified in the Leadership Circle Profile (360 Feedback) and Collective Leadership Assessment through The Leadership Circle. I’ve had 25+ years of experience as a corporate leader in the Biotechnology industry.

I’ve been honored to work with professionals at organizations such as Gilead, Genentech, Roche, BioMarin, LinkedIn, Sony, Zynga, Oregon-Canadian Forest Products, venture capital fund companies, startups in biotech, pharma, and high-tech, and more.

The Fun Facts

Because...what would life be without all the fun stuff that makes us humans led by heart?

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA with my soul mate - my husband Gilles.

I am a long-time soccer player, NCAA Far West All-Conference honors and SFSU Athletic Hall of Fame Inductee.

I’m a singer-songwriter and musician in the folk-pop genre; you can find my music on Reverbnation and iTunes.

Nature, yoga, meditation, and music are my spiritual go-to's and I’m a firm believer that sunflowers make everything better.

Give me any historical fiction spanning generations about life and connection, add a dash of mystery, and I'm a happy camper.

When able, I love spending time in France with family and our granddaughter.

This is your invitation to awaken from within…

What Sets Me Apart:

I’ve walked my own walk! With a corporate leadership background, I understand the complex, lonely challenges of your leadership role. I’ve been there and done the work too
I take a heart-centered approach to growth and personal development, tapping into the power of self-awareness, presence, and deep embodiment
I guide you to increase your self-awareness as you create space between reaction and conscious choice, igniting your curiosity and accelerating your growth
I show up present, focused, and prepared to hold compassionate space for you
I’m non-judgemental and open-minded. My commitment is to lead you to cultivate a nurturing relationship with yourself
Together, we’ll focus on the somatic experience (physical sensations) of situations, requests, relationships, and events in your life to calm the nervous system and create new ways of being and showing up throughout your life
