Donaldson turned life around and became a Health Care Hero

BY SUSAN LADIKA
SPECIAL TO THE BUSINESS JOURNAL

Ken Donaldson followed a rocky road to get to where here is today. The relationship coach, psychotherapist, speaker and author spent his youth addicted to cocaine and amphetamines, and staved off prison time for illegal drug possession.

A drug counselor saw his potential and suggested he study to become a therapist. “When I used my brain and my mouth, I was capable of connecting.” he recalled.

It took another nine years, but Donaldson finally enrolled in college at the age of 29 and in 1993 received a master’s in counselor education from the University of South Florida.

Donaldson has now been drug and alcohol free for more than 20 years.

He is now a true hero as he received the 2006 Health Care Hero Mental Health Care Professional category winner.

“I am what some refer to as a ‘wounded healer,’ meaning that my ability to help people heal and grow comes primarily because of my own traumatic experiences,” said Donaldson, who has been offering counseling and coaching programs in the Tampa Bay area since 1987. He now runs Kenilee Inc. in Seminole and goes by the moniker the REALationship Coach.

His initial focus was on psychotherapy, but after dealing with many heavy-duty cases and teetering on the edge of burnout, he added coaching and education into his practice. “That really created a lot of balance for me. Coaching is more about growth.”

The 49-year-old now has about 40 coaching clients, based primarily in the United States and Canada. He also offers small group sessions on personal growth and development and does individual couple and family counseling.

Donaldson also recently wrote the book, Marry YourSelf First” Saying ‘I Do’ to a Life of Passion, Power and Purpose. “Far too many people have gotten into a mode of settling,” Donaldson said. “They live at this mediocre level. They put out mediocre and get mediocre back.”

Instead, he urges individuals to find their passion and make that come alive.

“In doing so, not only will you have a life that is very focused, you will have a life that is very fulfilled. All great things happened because people had a passion.

I am also very proud of my professional wildlife and nature photography career. I have had numerous photographs published and have received numerous awards. In my “spare” time, I’ve been known to teach photography classes, and I also occasionally offer 1:1 and group outings in the field. Otherwise, you might see me with a camera in my hand waiting eagerly for a beautiful sunset to appear or for a butterfly land on it’s next flower.
