I’m Dana Johnson –
COO, Blogger, Speaker, Author, Entrepreneur
Speaker
The goal is to engage, entertain, and motivate the audience and leave them feeling great about the event. It’s an undistracted, undiluted entertainment experience that is a powerful opportunity to persuade, rally, and inspire.Author
One of my highest accomplishments was being part of an amazing book on women’s voices in the 21st century and being able to contribute on my experiences and have my voice be heard. Another accomplishment was writing an article for Success Magazine. The topic was on how to inspire employees and employee retention. The article was published in January 2000, online and in their printed edition.
“The single most important skill you must have to lead is the ability to tell your own story.”
Dana’s greatest strengths are her creativity, drive and leadership. She thrives on challenges, particularly those that expand the company’s reach. Her recent project was working on the 6.5-Billion-dollar new Apple Campus in Cupertino, CA, referred to as the “mother ship” by many. This project involved a strategic partnership, being that it was a joint venture project that pushed all limits more than any project had prior.
