From $5 to focusup: building elite leaders who change the game
Welcome to FocusUp.
I’m Ken Johnson – husband, grandpa, Army veteran, and the guy who left the U.S. with just $5 in my pocket to chase something bigger.
In the decades that followed, I became an award-winning leader for two of Europe’s top companies, building some of their strongest, most resilient teams. Along the way, I discovered a system – The FocusUp Factor – that transforms the way leaders think, act, and perform.
Today, I bring that system back home to the United States, helping managers, executives, and entrepreneurs rise Above the Line – replacing burnout with belief, hesitation with decisive action, and pressure with elite performance.
If you’re ready to reset your leadership, activate your team, and build something extraordinary, you’re in the right place.
Let’s Go Above the Line
