What We Do

---

“I thought my team looked up to me before coaching, but after going through coaching, I learned more about empathy and how important of a tool and motivator it can be. As my empathy increased, so did myself awareness. Generally speaking, me learning about how to give a $#!T about the people I serve provided me with my “why” and made me more motivated to come to work every day. It also helped me provide my team with those same intangible tools that helped reinforce and improve their reason “why” they come to work every day. I am proud of my time spent in coaching with Dr. Johnston, I could write a book about what I learned.” Jeremy Holcombe, Engineering – The Toro Company
 

"Working with Dr. Johnston through coaching was a professional and life-changing process. Initially, I hated it because it was hard work, and she pushed me to look at myself in ways that challenged my self-perception. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. However, as I gained new insights and realized how much more effective I was becoming, I found my relationships at work, with my teams, and with my family improved dramatically. In the end, it was a transformational experience, and I not only had the privilege to work with Dr. Johnston but also gained a dear friend."    Jeff Harris - Manufacturing Operations Manager -
