Coach Clay Banks
Thank you for your interest in getting to know me! I’ll keep this brief but meaningful so you can decide if I’m the right fit for you.
I was raised by incredibly artistic parents—my father, a WWII photographer turned fine art photographer, and my mother, a painter. Surrounded by creativity and a deep attention to detail, I developed an early passion for storytelling and an appreciation for quality and excellence. By age 12, thanks to my dad’s passion, an 8mm camera, and a flat-bed editor, I was already directing and editing my own short films.
Life soon became even more adventurous.
At 21, I was hired by a Fortune 500 educational company, where I quickly discovered my talent for leadership, training, and inspiring others. I immersed myself in the study of human behavior, rose through the ranks, and became a National Trainer and Assistant to the President.
But coaching isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. Excellence is my standard, and empowerment is my drive. I see it, seek it, and cultivate it in those I work with.
This is just a snapshot of my journey. If you’d like to learn more, just click the link below!
