Risa Johnson Email & Phone Number

I’m a Talent Development professional with 15+ years of diverse, hands-on experience as a coach, trainer/facilitator, project manager, team lead, manager and leader. I have a proven track record of implementing strategic learning solutions. I am viewed by colleagues as a trusted business partner who builds strong partnerships with key stakeholders -- someone who works collaboratively, with grace & tact, whether I’m leading the team or taking direction from multiple/matrixed bosses. My primary experience is with project management of learning solutions -- performance management; leadership development; deploying change initiatives, system roll-outs and conversions; new manager transitions (personal favorite!); and employee on-boarding programs. I LIKE change and helping people realize how resilient they really are ... which is why coaching on career transitions and strengths-based development has been a recurring theme of my work.Over the years, I've worked in a variety of industries and with a number of companies that all had one thing in common: “deep smarts” employees with complex jobs who need every minute of learning time to have an ROI so that they could get back to work & achieve the optimal performance levels expected of them by the company. I am passionate about helping participants obtain immediate results on their learning -- and equally passionate about supporting them over time so they can continue to apply what they learn.I’m a skilled facilitator – both when delivering packaged programs from training partners (like FranklinCovey or Crucial Learning) or when delivering programs that I’ve personally designed. I love working in fast-paced environments where there are multiple projects and priorities that require my focus. With a positive attitude and a steady demeanor, I’m always ready to adapt to new challenges and changing priorities.
