KEVIN JOHNSON
BOOK COACH
KIND WORDS FROM MY BOOK COACHING CLIENTS
Kevin helped us connect all the pieces. He methodically brought clarity to the writing process and ultimately shaped a manuscript readily understood by a wide variety of readers. Our book got better because of Kevin’s expertise.
I trust Kevin’s instincts and experience. He’s more than a book coach. He’s an empathetic and authentic person, a life coach during writing and long after. I leave every conversation with him encouraged and full of ideas. Run—don’t walk—to the chance to work with Kevin. He has my highest recommendation!
Kevin says my message has been marinating for 20 years. He’s right. Kevin helped me finalize years of ideas and iterations into a succinct guide to better, faster team decisions. I’m forever grateful for our relationship!
Kevin is an outstanding book coach! His thoughtfulness and commitment to excellence will inspire you on the journey to writing and publishing. His insights and customized process are extremely valuable. If you dream of writing a book, contact him!
I can bring Kevin alongside any executive leader and know that goodness will result. His experience, adaptability, and skills as a book coach are unmatched.
In all my experiences with Kevin—as my editor, coauthor, and co-presenter—I’ve seen him strive for excellence in himself and encourage others to pursue it as well. Kevin has keen insights into human nature and communication.
I never imagined I would write a book. Kevin made it possible. He helped me tell the story of Twin Cities Orthopedics, capturing for internal and external audiences how “Be the Difference” brings us success in team alignment, customer satisfaction, and rapid market growth. Kevin understands people, organizations, and business imperatives.
Kevin tirelessly and cheerfully pushed me to create a fast, readable book. Without his encouragement, know-how, and collaborative partnership, my book would not have been possible. He’s a friend for life.
Kevin is an incredibly talented author and editor, and his creativity sparked my limp prose to life. In this marathon, he carried me across the finish.
Kevin is a top-notch editor. He took what I thought was a very good manuscript—and made it great! He has remarkable skill at bringing the author’s voice and content to its highest level to drive maximum reader engagement.
My experience of Kevin as our LifeKeys editor was extraordinary. He saw the potential of our project and guided our team from start to finish as we won a contract, wrote our book, and developed several related products. We couldn’t have found a more capable advocate and publishing partner.
I didn’t know where to start with my book, but Kevin knew all the right questions to ask. He helped put written words to my talent management practices for leadership succession, and his connections made publishing painless. The resulting book is business smart and inspiring.
Without Kevin, there would be no book.
Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters.
