April 2023: The Non-Negotiable Requirement for Leadership Excellence: Emotional Safety!
What is the non-negotiable requirement for leadership excellence today?
Emotional Safety!
We’re diving into the key characteristics of emotional safety at our next Think Tank!
How do leaders create safety within their culture when it doesn’t feel safe on the outside?
When you don’t feel safe, how does that impact your decision-making? What about your engagement? How can a person belong who does not feel safe? Emotional safety creates the necessary conditions for effective decision-making and efficient problem-solving to thrive.
Great leaders understand the importance of checking in on their team and asking questions that bring the best leadership out of the people around them.
Join our growing leadership community as Dr. Fred Johnson unpacks how emotional safety will take your culture to the next level!

May 2023: Just Dig Potatoes: Becoming the Influential Leader People Will Never Forget
Have you ever tried to grow potatoes? Much of the growth happens beneath the surface, even the finished product lies in the soil. Unlike many plants, the fruits of your labor are not seen until the time is right. You’ve got to do the dirty work to come away with the results you’re looking for at the end of the process.
The same is true of leadership, world-class leaders understand that you must start by leading yourself. Creating a culture of care for your team depends on your level of influence. It requires vulnerability. It requires authenticity. Ultimately, it requires trust. It isn’t easy and you’ll get your hands dirty.
What are those trust building behaviors?
Join us as Dr. Fred Johnson provides his insight into the key qualities of influential leadership for the modern workplace!

June 2023: The Life-Altering Power of Praise
"Whatcha talking about, Willis?"
It's a snappy question made famous by actor Gary Coleman on the popular 80's sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes." Have you ever said it? Posted the meme?
Sometimes we're just not sure what to do with a message someone delivers to us, and we search for clarity. Have you ever received a compliment or a positive affirmation and felt yourself dismiss it? Maybe you freeze for a moment. You pause, turn your head to the side and question whether you deserve the compliment. Is this true? Is this sincere? Is this manipulation?
Dr. Fred Johnson will shed some light on the Power of Praise and why it can be life-altering. Not just for the person who receives it but for the person who gives it. Authentic leaders make praise a practice. It creates a commitment to find good and see good in others.
