What We Believe
​
Our values, attitudes, and beliefs drive our behavior. We grow as leaders the more we know ourselves. The stronger our self-awareness-the better choices we can make. We are attracted to leaders who are authentic, open, and honest. Success in business requires curiosity, humility, resilience, and drive. Leadership is the ability to elicit the willingness of others to pursue a mission.

Through Our Approach, Leaders:
Become more aware or “conscious” of effective thought patterns
Identify thought patterns that sabotage high performance
Develop skills that build robust relationships, solve difficult problems,
enhance personal engagement and create strong business results
Our conscious leadership and coaching content and philosophy also reflect the principle of integration. For example, many managers we have worked with pride themselves on being able to be “brutally honest” when confronting someone. We have observed others so passive and respectful during a conversation that what they really think never comes out at all. We help leaders integrate these two seemingly opposite styles through a framework that enables one to be honest and respectful at the same time.​
We believe business success hinges upon the abilities of the leaders to make the right business decisions, execute them flawlessly and harness the energy, passion and spirit of the people they lead. We focus on effectiveness in three dimensions:
​​
-
Business Results (IT)
-
Team and Organization Effectiveness (WE)
-
Personal Engagement (I)
​
A successful organization, work group or team measures effectiveness in
these three key dimensions. We customize our solutions to meet the unique
requirements your business demands. Our objective is to help make you and
your organization successful. With that in mind we work to understand your
key business issues and drivers and then ensure that what we offer solves
real problems and adds value.
Leadership Development
Conscious leadership is methodology designed to help leaders create a leadership footprint that maximizes their ability to accomplish business goals, build strong, trusting relationships and increase personal engagement and job fulfillment. It does this through a process that enables leaders to closely examine their own attitudes, values, and beliefs and consciously choose highly effective approaches to communicating with integrity, building accountability, and solving difficult issues with creativity and consensus. We believe that our values, attitudes, and beliefs, our "being" drives what we do. The leverage to make improvements or to change is found first in who we are "being".

Coaching is focused on getting to the source of current behavior, helping the individual gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their results, and their relationship to others.

Team Effectiveness
Team effectiveness begins with self-awareness. We help each team member understand their own personal style, how their colleagues prefer to work, and how that impacts the team.
​
Team performance makes or breaks organization success, whether they be project teams, executive teams sales teams, marketing or customer support. We have experience not only in working with all these type of teams, but we have also been team members ourselves and are keenly aware of what it's like to be on a high performing team versus one t hat is not. Therefore, we know what works and what doesn't.

We typically do an assessment of your teams using the most appropriate instrument and or interviews and then co creating a project plan with you
Testimonials
VP Global Financial Services Firm
This is fantastic stuff and has given me a boost in energy. I wish we could have a whole training session on this topic alone. I’m going to take what you have given me and incorporate my own experiences and put together an action plan for me to execute in my small corner of the world. Once I have my head around what I would like to do, I would appreciate the opportunity to bounce some of these ideas off of you. Thanks again. I am truly grateful.

Julie Supan- Founder Supan Group
Don Johnson was my executive coach while I was leading marketing for YouTube/Google and his training was one of the most highly impactful experiences I've had in my career. YouTube had just been acquired by Google and I needed to grow in how I was leading, managing and communicating with my team and fellow colleagues.
Don's advice expanded my perspective and approach to nearly everything I did. He was a trusted advisor to me and guided me through a challenging and eye-opening professional journey. Most importantly, Don deeply cared about me and my success.
Don taught me to value the process even more than the results. I learned instantly that by doing this you will achieve even better results. I would not have the business I have today without his coaching and guidance.
I think of Don's advice nearly every week and pass it along to the many other talented men and women I work with every day. I always say that one of the greatest gifts that Google gave to me was being coached by Don. I am so grateful for our time together!
