Keynote Speaker/Former CFO/Culture & Leadership Reimagined Through Rhythm
Alex Warns brings a fresh approach to leadership communication. A former CFO turned keynote speaker, Alex is also the co-creator of Keynote Beats—an immersive experience that merges powerful leadership insights with the raw energy of live drumming.
This isn’t a concert. It’s not a typical speech, either. It’s a culture-shifting hour designed to leave a lasting impact. Why? Because people don’t remember flawless slide decks—they remember how they felt. They remember laughing, feeling understood, and reconnecting with what matters most.
From frontline employees to C-suite executives, the message resonates across every level. By combining rhythm with message and human connection with leadership, the experience goes beyond motivation.
It sparks real, lasting change.
It brings the beat to leadership.
With over 30 years as a professional drummer, Justin Johnson has toured, recorded, and performed alongside some of the best in the industry. From arena stages to studio booths, he’s discovered one enduring truth: rhythm has the power to connect people.
Today, Justin brings that same pulse to Keynote Beats—a live leadership experience that blends compelling storytelling with dynamic, live drumming. It’s not a concert, and it’s far from a traditional keynote. It’s a culture-shifting event designed to help people lead and work with more connection, presence, and purpose.
On stage, Justin doesn’t just play rhythms—he listens, adapts, and amplifies the message. Because when rhythm meets story, people don’t just hear it—they feel it.
Energize your audience with a keynote that moves both hearts and minds.
