Akeisha Johnson's Linkedin Analytics

I’m Akeisha Johnson, Founder of An Inspired Story—a leadership and performance talent development firm which has helped organizations exceed annual revenue projections by over💰10%, retain top talent through the Great Resignation, and support women into executive and C-suite role promotions. With over a decade of experience coaching teams, department heads, and executive leaders across sectors like tech, finance, energy, and higher ed into high performance, I specialize in turning career roadblocks into clarity—and leadership into legacy. At An Inspired Story, we work with organizations to train and support leaders who: ✅ Lead with conviction, cultural competency, and clear communication ✅ Navigate high-stakes feedback conversations and team dynamics ✅ Align career growth with business outcomes through intentional strategy 🚫 No fluff. No vague concepts. Just clear frameworks and powerful execution. Here’s the real problem most teams face: They promote high-potential people into leadership, but don’t equip them to lead. That sounds like: 🔹 “I want to move up, but I’m unclear on how to make that happen—and stay true to myself.” 🔹 “I’ve got the title, but no roadmap for success, and I’m burning out fast.” 🔹 “Our managers are great at their jobs, but they struggle to coach and lead others.” 🔹 “We’re not aligned internally, and it’s showing up in retention and results.” That gap? It costs more than just internal headaches. It costs 💸 lost revenue, team cohesion, innovation, and trust—especially in hybrid, high-growth environments. ⚠️ People don’t just quit jobs. They leave managers, misalignment, and cultures that don’t support their success. 💡 An Inspired Story exists to change that. We’re not a cookie-cutter coaching program. We’re a transformational development partner—helping leaders move from uncertainty to INSPIRED action through: ✨ Executive & group coaching ✨ Inclusive leadership facilitation ✨ Career and performance planning intensives ✨ SafeSTTAR® (Safe Space to Talk About Race) workshops 🚀 Everything we do is built around one mission: Create bosses people WANT to work for—and careers leaders are proud to grow in. 🎯 What drives me most is helping high-potential professionals lead with confidence, clarity, and integrity—and giving organizations the leadership pipeline they truly need.
