Emily Johnson, PhD, is a speaker, coach, and organizational trainer who combines academic research with practical results. She designs onboarding and leadership development programs including initiatives that reduced new-hire ramp time by 22% and helped drive 37% faster time to revenue. Furthermore, she prepares middle managers for the leadership roles no one trained them for.

Dr. Johnson’s research explored retention and engagement challenged in early leadership roles and how that gap shapes what happens next. She combines her research with her University Innovation Fellow training at the Stanford d.school and uses design thinking to build practical, human-centered training programs.
