- THE SELF-ESTEEM MOVEMENT LIED TO YOU
The statistics for mental illness have not changed and in many cases become worse. Why? Because people in the self-help movement have led you astray. People who do what I do have deceived you. During this talk, attendees learn some of the top self-help lies such as you need more self-esteem & confidence to be successful; you can’t love others until you love yourself; you ‘have’ anxiety or depression; the goal in life is to be happy. Attendees will learn game-changing life habits to improve their mental wellbeing plus learn Kip’s RAFT method leaving this keynote equipped to fight for their best self going forward. - LIVING A LIFE OF CONTENTMENT: Six skills that lead to personal and professional satisfaction and achievement
You cannot stop challenges from happening. They keep coming despite best efforts to control and minimize them. Like you, I have had my share of difficulties. And, with each one, I learned a new life skill leading to greater contentment and preparing me for the next trial that comes my way. This keynote equips you with those skills in preparation for the storms you are or will face. - CONFIDENCE IS NOT A FEELING
The number one reason people seek services from me is to improve their confidence. This talk breaks down what confidence is and is not. You will walk away knowing the thoughts and behaviors creating a lack of confidence and the beliefs and actions leading to secure confidence, performing consistently, and greater happiness in life. You don’t want to miss this keynote! - THE BATTLEFIELD FOR HOPE
Good thing I did not know the incredible challenges of life I would face when I entered this world. My story includes a tough relationship with my mom, losing 65 pounds & keeping it off, the traumatic birth of my daughter, being homeless, to nearly being killed in a car accident. During this keynote, you’ll hear my empowering life story as I teach people how to hold on to hope through transforming beliefs, tools, and habits. - PREDICT and PREVENT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES: Learn your Braincode & unlock maximum potential
Wouldn’t it be great if we could know ahead of time the kind of struggles we will face? Wouldn’t it be helpful if we could predict and prevent the difficulties we face? It is possible! Every brain has a code, or innate mental wiring. This wiring is the hardest part to assess and understand in an individual because we can’t see it. In this talk, attendees will do an interactive assessment to learn their own unique Braincode and learn the challenges that typically come with their Braincode and key strategies to prevent those difficulties.

At 15, Kip nearly took her life but a profound experience after simply opening the Holy Bible given to her in the 5th grade changed her mind. She opened to Philippians 1:21-26 and after reading this passage, Kip knew God loved her and had purposeful work for her to do.
Now after nearly 30 years teaching and transforming lives as a sports and executive psychotherapist, Kip has no intention of slowing down as there are more lives to help, to change, and to inspire.
Why have Coach Kip train and/or speak to your school or organization when there are many other options?
- Teenage and college athletes want to hear from someone who they can relate to and who has been exactly where they have been
- Teenage and college athletes often need someone outside of their parents and coaches to confirm what their authorities are already teaching them but in a new and fresh way
- Teenagers, adults, and professionals often are impacted by hearing the testimony of someone who failed miserably then after working hard and making changes reached Championship level achievement
- Coach Kip brings a unique story of once being suicidal, struggling, and lacking confidence, to becoming a professional athlete, earning Championship rings, building a successful business as a single mom while raising two young adults who are now solid contributing members to society
