Get to Know Me

Hi, I’m Keith Holmes, the owner and operator of The Collective Coach and I'm glad you're here. I provide executive coaching, strategic advisory, and consulting services to high performers and businesses throughout Orange County, Long Beach, and Los Angeles, California.

My work is primarily focused on individual coaching and consulting for businesses forecasting revenues between $5M and $60M annually. I specialize in working with founders, high performers, solopreneurs, business leaders, and executives. Helping them find clarity, process key decisions, develop emotional intelligence, and improve performance as they navigate complex transitions under pressure. I see life as holistic, so there is often crossover over between professional and personal when working with clients. This allows us to address the relationship dynamics that exist in both worlds: communication styles, conflict patterns, and missed attempts at finding alignment.

My approach to coaching lives at the intersection between psychological depth and my own lived experience, successfully navigating high performance work environments as an executive and leader over the past 20+ years. Drawing from my dual Master's in Psychology from Pepperdine University, I'll work along side you as a trusted advisor and partner, ready and willing to help you navigate the road ahead.

Why I do what I do

People have always been at the center of everything I value. Even as technology advances and automation increases, people and relationships are still an integral component of success and creating a winning culture. Personally, helping and supporting others has always been my passion and what I find to be the most fulfilling. My goal for every client is for them to leave more equipped and ready to continue the work we started on their own.

  • Individuals

    My approach to coaching is structured, direct, and grounded in a deep understanding of human behavior and high performance environments. Sessions are guided by the clients goals, often incorporating topics such as performance, mindset, growth, and navigating relationships. Coaching sessions are offered both in person and remotely in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, CA.

  • Businesses

    In business flexibility is key, which is why my approach adapts to each of my clients specific needs, while following a proven formula that starts with Intake & Understanding: By listening and ensuring I understand, while taking in the information, and confirming your needs.

The final step is Accountability & Execution: On-going coaching and consulting as needed to keep you on track to help you achieve your goals.
