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

You’re not crazy for wanting more and it is possible to have more purpose, freedom, income & free time in your work.

Here’s how I help you find that for yourself:

1️⃣ Find your Purpose
2️⃣ Turn it into a business idea 
3️⃣ Start your business on the side
4️⃣ Exit corporate 

 The program is a 1-1 intensive coaching program where you receive:
👌 Tactical business coaching
👌 Mindset & habit coaching
👌 Accountability & an extensive network
👌 On-demand coaching access

What does that mean for you?
✅ Your first high-ticket client within 6 months
✅ A clear & tangible plan & momentum for your corporate exit
✅ Set off a chain reaction to thrive in all areas of your life

"Before I met Keith, exiting corporate was just a dream” - S.A. from Phoenix, database administrator turned international consultant

“I booked my first client for $3,000 in 2 weeks. Now I have the confidence to quit my 9-5.” - M.D. from Washington DC, business consulting leader turned performance coach

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