Most of the people I work with are responsible, driven, and successful — and quietly stuck.

The Tools, developed by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels, help people move through fear, resistance, and self-sabotage.

If you’re tired of circling the same patterns and ready for real momentum, this may be a good fit.

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!”

Great Documentary 

Stutz the Movie

In the Netflix documentary Stutz, filmmaker Jonah Hill sits down with his therapist, Phil Stutz, to explore the Tools that changed his life.

The film resonated widely, bringing this structured, practical method to a global audience and inspiring many people to seek out this work for themselves.

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.

THE TOOLS HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN

I exist to be a father
(ever expanding),
a believer in others
(seeing what is possible),
and inspiring others to find the infinite energy inside themselves to flow outward
(carring on the Tools torch).
— Patrick Kelley

The more time I spend listening to Phil and Barry. I realized I needed a different approach if I wanted to achieve new results in new ways. Thier coaching transformed not only my leadership but my entire life. And it started to make others around me thrive too. I have learned so much and I know you can benefit.

IT ALL STARTED WITH THE TOOLS
