LaVonne Keal

I’m a Transformational Coach who partners with individuals and organizations to navigate meaningful change—starting from within. Through deep, purpose-driven coaching, I help clients unlock their full potential, overcome obstacles, and create lasting impact in their lives and work.

But this work isn’t just professional for me—it’s deeply personal.

I know what it’s like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled. I’ve lived it. And I also know what it takes to break through those barriers—personally and professionally. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s led me to discover a greater sense of purpose, clarity, and fulfillment in what I do. Now, I’m passionate about helping others do the same.

I’m also the President and Founder of Keal Consulting Group, a coaching and consulting agency committed to practical, results-driven growth. At Keal Consulting, we go beyond traditional methods by offering targeted training and development programs designed to enhance both personal and professional skills.
