Dr. Michelle K. Johnston is a sought-after leadership keynote speaker who transforms
rooms with her powerful message: Connection is the future of leadership. Whether
she’s speaking to executive teams, leaders, or conference audiences, Michelle delivers
high-impact insights that spark transformation from the inside out.
What Michelle Delivers
In every keynote, Michelle guides audiences through her signature framework, The 7
Seismic Shifts:
Shift Your Perspective: To focus on connection. Because the only way you’re going to
success is through your ability to connect with others.
Shift Your Priorities: To focus on what fuels you. Because you can’t give your best to
others if you’re running on empty.
Shift Your Calendar: To focus on your most important relationships. Because what you
give your time to reveals what (and who) matters most.
Shift Your Meetings: To focus on engagement. Because people feel seen, heard,
valued, respected, and appreciated when they are part of the problem-solving and
decision-making process.
Shift Your Conversations: To focus on dialogue. Because connection grows when you
inquire more – with great questions – and talk less.
Shift Your Language: To focus on positivity and possibility. Because the words you
choose shape the reality you’re creating every day.
Shift Your Energy: To focus on intentionality. Because the energy you bring sets the
tone for everyone around you.
