About Keith Ivory Millner

A new executive role demands a different leadership architecture and mindset. Without it, you\'re managing from reaction instead of design. If you’re looking to ascend to your next frontier in leadership, I coach C-Suite, EVP/ SVP leaders to gain clarity & create unstoppable momentum.After 30+ years scaling across banking, healthcare, CPG, and consulting, and serving as COO, President, and CMO for major organizations, I discovered that the leaders who excel aren\'t those with the most credentials. They\'re the ones equipped with the right mental, spiritual, and physical tools to perform BETTER, SMARTER, and FASTER.My journey:•⁠ Built and led high-performing teams across multiple Fortune 500 companies and high-growth ventures•⁠ Navigated my own leadership transitions: from President & COO, to franchise ownership, and executive coaching •⁠ Realized that traditional executive coaching and leadership development efforts are not effective•⁠ Founded Coaching Catalyst to bridge that gap: proven frameworks + brain-based neuroscience + real-world applicationSince then, I\'ve coached hundreds of C-suite leaders, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders through career transitions, first 100 days, cultural transformation, and growth strategy, helping them exceed their perceived limits.How I help:1⃣ For C-Suite Leaders, EVP / SVP-Level & Entrepreneurs: I specialize in high-impact transitions, onboarding, and leadership acceleration. Whether you\'re stepping into a new C-Suite role, leading a turnaround, or scaling a team, I design customized engagements designed to accelerate your leadership impact. My approach integrates 30+ years of enterprise operations and Profit and Loss (P&L) responsibility with research-validated coaching methodologies.2⃣ For Organizations & Teams: I partner with companies on cultural transformation, human capital optimization, and building high-performing leadership pipelines using appreciative inquiry and brain-based leadership.3⃣ For Ongoing Insight: I\'m deeply committed to continuous learning and community: serving on boards, mentoring emerging leaders, and staying at the forefront of enhancing organizational performance and leadership through neuroscience. My personal mission: To be a change agent by equipping people with the mental, spiritual, and physical tools they need to excel.If you\'re ready to move beyond traditional coaching and desire to experience transformative change, let\'s connect.
