Keith Allen Johns

Keith Allen And Company

I help "successful on the outside" people -- C-suite execs, management leaders, tech mavens, entrepreneurs, business owners and more -- take full ownership of their daily experience and the path they are on. 

People come to me because 

❌ They’ve achieved "all the right things" but aren't truly satisfied
❌ They’ve tried to find satisfaction via promotions or new jobs, but it's not working
❌ They aren't happy with how they show up at home for their partner or kids
❌ They can't seem to prioritize "Me" time and try to fill the hole by buying more "stuff"
❌ They’ve read books and listened to podcasts but nothing has changed

Sound familiar?

I feel you. I progressed to being a COO of a tech company (money, title, house, car) before I realized…

The default approach wasn't working. 

Here’s how I help you fix this:

1️⃣ I teach you powerful mindset tools as a baseline
2️⃣ You choose what you want to change in your life
3️⃣ We take incremental steps to create those changes
4️⃣ We identify blockers that emerge and remove them
5️⃣ You consistently take aligned, inspired action
 
What does that mean for you?

You will:

✅ Handle everything life throws at you and feel good consistently
✅ Know with confidence what's next for you and how to get it
✅ Have a clear plan and tools for living a highly inspired life
✅ Set off a chain reaction to thrive not just at work but at home, too

My clients say:

"I have been successful throughout my career but never felt successful. By working with Keith, I was able to unlock that feeling.” - David Weisberg in NYC, technology product leader

"I didn't really believe Keith at first, then I started to feel entirely different. My business revenue took off while my sense of calm and ease increased dramatically. Unbelievable." - Patrick Laine in Miami, serial entrepreneur

“Keith completely changed my life. I’m going to keep working with him.” - Beata Brock in Atlanta, technology ops leader

I help ambitious people go next-level in business and life | Deep mindset coaching that creates massive change | DM me to get started | TEDx Speaker | Former C-suite | International Transformation Coach

If life handed you all the answers and you have it all figured out, please move along.

I love you, but you aren't my people.

My people have big ambitions but lack the tools to achieve them.

(They know it but hate to admit it.)

That's where I come in.

Do you see yourself in this list of former clients?

🆘 Wall Street leader who wants more influence and impact
🆘 Cancer surgeon who wants to handle stress in the OR better
🆘 Fractional CFO whose limiting beliefs hold him back
🆘 Entrepreneur who needs confidence in people skills
🆘 Teach leader who wants to lead with power and charisma

Each of these people felt deep inside they needed a boost to get to the next level in work and life.

That was me, too.

I've spent 15 years obsessing over how I had to grow to create a life no one else in my family has ever had. I had to go deep inside and reprogram myself to change my external outcomes.

And that is what I teach to my clients.

↪️ How to create massive confidence
↪️ How to lead with power and empathy
↪️ How to master your thoughts and emotions
↪️ How to leverage energy and charisma
↪️ How to put it all together for work AND family

Listen, I'm a blue-collar kid in a white-collar world.

Everything I've accomplished I've had to figure out the hard way:

✅ How to get to and thrive in the C-suite
✅ How to start my own six-figure solo business
✅ How to shed my past and my upbringing
✅ How to become a good family man
✅ How to overcome addiction

I had a ton of help along the way.

Now, I'm providing that help to others.

If you believe a deep, dynamic, transformational coaching experience is what you need to create your next breakthrough, DM me and tell me your story.

I help corporate leaders who are feeling stuck in their 9-5 break free from corporate by building & scaling a purpose-driven business.

Most people come to me because 

❌ They’re feeling burnt-out, struggling to find work-life balance and looking for more meaning in their work
❌ They’ve focused on climbing the corporate ladder or changing jobs, but something still feels missing
❌ They wonder if there’s more to life. More freedom, income, time & purpose. But then wonder if they’re crazy for wanting more
❌ They’ve thought about the possibility of starting their own business but felt overwhelmed with where to even start

Does this sound familiar?

I’ve been there too. I progressed to being a COO of a tech company before I finally realized…

WORK SHOULDN’T SUCK

Story-based content for Hot Leads, Authority, and Trust | Ghostwriting for Time Poor Experts, Founders and C-Suite Execs | Soft Skills Specialist | Cut Through the Online Noise NOW

You are a Business Founder or Expert.  You're great at what you do, but struggle to connect with your audience; you're invisible.

Here is what people have said to us…

👉 "We're better than our competitors, but no one knows who we are." 

👉 "We post on LinkedIn but don't have a formula that works."

👉 "We've got client success stories, but we're unsure how to package them so people read them."

👉 "We'd like to get quality leads regularly, but dont know how"

👉 "Sometimes we lose deals to inferior competitors and don't know why"  

People want messaging that cuts through -  content, conversations, whatever.  That's when they say to themselves, "it's like they're talking directly to me".	

Most content is similar to everyone else.That won't work. Not in the age of AI and commoditised content.

I propose a change....

1. Content that cuts through - written in the customer voice, not that of the vendor.
2. Customer success stories that sell.
3. Referral partnerships to generate warm leads.
4. Impactful sales conversations to drive sales.

Where to start?

We'll help you lift your content game - from voice of vendor to voice of customer, done for you. 

 Then, we'll help you set up referral partnerships so lead problems are a thing of the past.

And if you need help converting leads into sales, let me know.  

ABOUT ME

I've been making sales since I was 19.  I've trained thousands to use stories, high-impact content, and trust-based conversations to land more deals.

If you want more perfect-fit clients, talk to me.  Send a message.

Got Skills But Minimal Sales?  The Shocking Truth About Most Experts…….

Most coaches, consultants and self employed ‘experts’ are great at what they do.  But here is where they often fall down: they’re not so good at finding clients.  If you’re like a lot of coaches, experts and creative people I talk to, sales and marketing is not a comfortable activity for you.

You just want to do what you do best – work with quality clients – and make a difference for them.

👉 Is This You?

Maybe you’ve got technical skills (SEO, web design, even accounting), or creative skills (writing, blogging etc), or maybe you're a coach.  Irrespective, you just want a better, easier way to find clients.  Without having to sell and hustle like a salesman
