Growth is a multifaceted word with most taking it to mean financial growth in a business context.

So we must work on ourselves, as well as on our business, in order for both to thrive.
My name is Keeley and I'm the Founder and Lead Coach for KiAura Coaching. The combination of my corporate experience, being a successful entrepreneur and my Life Coaching skills has given me a unique platform to help you create a brand that you love and will attract your ideal clients to.
I believe everyone has their own answers within themselves. My gift is to help bridge your purpose-driven calling with a lifelong sustainable business... which is why I choose to coach rather than create it for you.
My Corporate Career
After graduating with distinction in Business and Marketing from RMIT University in Melbourne, I built a highly successful international marketing career working for a selection of the world’s biggest food and consumer goods brands. These included Nestle, Heinz, Pfizer, Kingsmill and Birdseye.
I was fortunate to learn and develop my core marketing and business skills guided and nurtured by the best in the industry. Over a period of 15 years I managed multi-million pound budgets, created brands and national advertising campaigns, launched entirely new products, project managed diverse teams, forecasted sales and reviewed results. The new products created mini-businesses within these large global corporations. However, the joy of working in the corporate world diminished as I became ever more senior and as management stakeholders became more important than the consumers and customers we served.
Employee to Entrepreneur
My transition out of Corporate Marketing was much more challenging than I had anticipated, which led me to seek help, guidance and support. Since 2013 I have attended many self development workshops, read hundreds of books, engaged multiple mentors and coaches, some which I still have today. My expertise gained from corporate life in conjunction with the support from my mentors and coaches allowed me to transfer and adapt my corporate skills to become an entrepreneur and create new start-up businesses. This resulted in me co-founding and building two sustainable and profitable investment companies which enabled me to retire from full time corporate marketing in 2015.
The learnings I have of adapting corporate thinking to small start up businesses have also been invaluable. I had less resources than ever before, I had to use gut instinct rather than having the luxury of endless data and each of my decisions had a direct result on my income. And this experience also made me realise the importance of being Strategic. When every hour and penny counts, strategy kept me and my teams focused. Strategic marketing is what I love creating the most!
Why Coaching?
I cannot place a high enough value on the amazing coaches I have worked with so far. My empathic life coach helped me to uncover beliefs that no longer served me that resulted in the relationship I have with my husband today. My most recent life coach, using the Enneagram personality profiling tool, helped me to understand my behavioural patterns and motivations leading to my journey to becoming a Certified Life Coach and Accredited Enneagram Practitioner.
The combination of all my experiences has lit a fire in me to help entrepreneurs with their marketing. I see as my life force or "Ki". Every time I talk about this, I've been told I really light up and this burning fire shows in my Aura... This was when I knew I found my purpose!
Steve is passionate and dedicated to continued personal evolution through lifelong learning, alongside a strong focus on health & nutrition by living a sustainable lifestyle.
He has discovered that he finds immense purpose and meaning in empowering others to uncover their strengths, inner confidence and innate potential. With 27 years experience of teaching, mentoring, workshop facilitation and leadership across various subjects, Steve recently took the natural next step and has become a certified coach accredited with the Association for Coaching.
Graduating with a BA (Hons) degree in Geography from University of London, Steve then followed the path somewhat less trodden into the theatre industry. He was very fortunate to spend 21 years as a professional pianist, voice coach, conductor, musical director and mentor both internationally and in London’s West End. Steve is grateful to have performed in some of the biggest and award-winning theatrical productions of the time including Mamma Mia! Thriller Live, School of Rock, The Bodyguard, Oliver! Starlight Express, and Queen’s We Will Rock You.
This intense journey enabled a powerful realisation: that underpinning Steve’s core motivations was a deep-rooted and fundamental need for long-term financial security – something almost impossible within theatre. To counter the unpredictable nature of his work, he transitioned to align his active interest in UK property investment. This complemented his skills and specific mindset developed over two decades of insecure self-employment, particularly around saving, budgeting, planning and self-discipline.
From 2018 to this year he worked with Propertunities Group as a project manager and design director for their pipeline of commercial and residential property conversions. Working in the property industry created another powerful realisation; that Steve’s innate drive and passion for improvement was not fully satisfied by inanimate cold buildings. Rather, by working together in partnership with wonderfully emotional human beings, this is where Steve truly experiences authentic connection, fulfilment and purpose!
Ever dedicated to growth, he is now studying the Chartered Insurance Institute’s Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, whilst continuing to deepen his coaching expertise and training with Co-Active Training Institute. Combining all these lived experiences so far, Steve’s motivation is to use his coaching skills with newly acquired financial and retirement planning knowledge to support others in making informed and empowered decisions about their long-term financial wellbeing.
Personally, Steve finds continual calm and grounding from being fully present outdoors surrounded by the energetic healing and beauty of raw nature. He loves fascinating podcasts about nutrition and health, spiritual wisdom, behavioural psychology, and financial wellbeing. An ideal day would be a blend of restorative and deep sleep, freshly sourced organic food, mindful breathing, quality time with his wonderful wife, empowering others to improve, deeply insightful & meaningful conversations with close friends, nurturing of nature in the garden, and reading a book that inspires.
