In a world more connected than ever, why are we all feeling so disconnected?
Leadership expert Dr. Michelle K. Johnston reveals the hidden crisis plaguing modern workplaces: an epidemic of disconnection that’s eroding team performance, personal satisfaction, and organizational success.
The Seismic Shift in You offers a transformative approach to leadership that starts with the most critical factor—you. Drawing on years of coaching top leaders and the latest research, Johnston outlines seven powerful shifts to help you lead more effectively, including:
• Rediscover your sense of purpose and direction
• Transform everyday interactions into meaningful connections
• Spark authentic engagement by starting from within
• Cultivate high-performing teams grounded in trust and collaboration
With real-world stories and practical tools, Johnston offers the clarity you need to lead with greater meaning, fulfillment, and results.
This isn’t just a leadership book—it’s a personal invitation to become the kind of leader people can rely on, teams rally around, and organizations need.
