Dr. Fred Johnson
Dr. Fred Johnson is one of the nation’s leading voices in leadership transformation and the visionary behind InitiativeOne. For nearly three decades, he has helped executives, professional athletes, and organizations remove the barriers that limit trust, performance, and impact.
Dr. Fred’s work goes far beyond leadership training. His methodology reshapes how leaders think, decide, and relate to one another. The result is measurable change in morale, productivity, profitability, and organizational health. Leaders do not simply perform better; they become better.
A trusted mentor to Fortune 100 executives and NFL, NHL and MLB coaches and players, Dr. Fred teaches the power of side-ways accountability, where teams own the standard together. His approach has redefined locker rooms, boardrooms, and cultures across the country.
What sets Dr. Fred apart is his insistence that leadership is not about position but about identity. Transformation begins on the inside and works its way out. That is why leaders do not just seek his insight; they depend on it
