Unlocked with Coach Key

Unlocked with Coach Key — conversations about the behavior, decisions, leadership, identity, life and follow-through required to lead what you've built. Coach Key recording in a red blazer at her microphone.

The business is only part of the story.

A new show from Coach Key, Behavior Change Strategist. New episodes begin late fall. Until then, listen to True CEO.

A new show · First episodes late fall

The business is only
part of the story.

We spend a lot of time talking about business as if it exists in a vacuum. It doesn’t. The way you lead is connected to who you are. The decisions you make are connected to what you believe. The business you build affects your relationships, your time, your identity and the life you actually get to live.

Unlocked with Coach Key brings all of it into the same conversation. Business. Behavior. Leadership. Identity. Relationships. Money. Success. Family. Life. And the follow-through required when what you say you want and what you’re actually doing don’t quite match.

We’ll talk strategy when strategy is the issue. We’ll talk behavior when behavior is the issue. And sometimes we’ll have to talk about the person behind all of it. Because we’re not separating the CEO from the human anymore. We’re integrating it all.

Some episodes will be business. Some won’t. Because neither are you.

Coach Key’s Question

“What do you know you need to do right now that you still haven’t done?”

Every guest answers it. Nobody has a comfortable answer.

Listen to True CEO until then

Before Unlocked, there was True CEO — twenty-eight episodes on building, leading and running the business. Same feed, same host, earlier chapter.

Before this

Where the feed started

In 2023 this feed carried True CEO, a co-hosted conversation about entrepreneurship recorded with Acacia Smith, LaVonne Shields and Sonya Songer. Twenty-eight episodes on scale, strategy, finance and leadership. Those episodes stand on their own and they stay right here. Unlocked is a different show, in the same place, with a wider frame.

Bring something real.

Unlocked is not a promotional interview. If you have built something and you are willing to talk about what it actually took — including the parts that did not work — I want the conversation.
