You know what to do. Let's close the gap between knowing and doing.
I'm Patrick Kelley, a trained coach grounded in the Tools by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels. I hit rock bottom in 2012, and a daily practice with the Tools turned my life around. Now I help others build that same practice.
I listen closely, ask questions that make you think, and suggest different Tools until we find the ones that work for you. No lectures, no one-size-fits-all plan.
“Patrick never mansplains. He listens intently, asks thought provoking questions, and suggests differnt Tools to help me find what works best.”
— K. B. W.
It can feel like you're walking alone
Do you ever feel lost and overwhelmed, like you're the only one struggling? That's exactly how I felt before I discovered the power of the Tools.
In 2012, I hit rock bottom. But I found a lifeline in The Tools by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels. By dedicating myself to a daily practice, I transformed my life.
Now, I'm here to help you do the same. As a trained coach, I've guided countless individuals to overcome their challenges and achieve their dreams.
Are you ready to break free from the cycle of self-doubt and unlock your full potential? Let's work together to create a life you love.
Everything Changed when I found the Tools.

My coaching is grounded in the Tools®
Paul from Shrinking is based on Phil Stutz
Fans of Shrinking often connect with Paul — the grounded, direct therapist played by Harrison Ford. That character is based on Phil Stutz, co-creator of The Tools — the same method I use in my coaching practice.
Great Show

To Patrick Kelley, my motivation coach: somehow you always knew when I was running on fumes and had the uncanny ability to recharge me like a human espresso shot. Thank you for the energy and encouragement. I couldn't bottle it, but I sure appreciated it!”
