ABOUT ME:

Katherine Johnson equips early-career professionals, emerging leaders, and diverse talent with the presence, confidence, and communication skills they need to contribute meaningfully from day one. Her coaching is rooted in the belief that professional success depends not only on technical skills, but also on how individuals connect with others—especially across generations.

As an executive presence coach with a background in education, branding, and mental fitness, Katherine brings a uniquely integrated approach that blends mindset development with practical workplace behaviors. She has coached TEDx speakers, supported women running for public office, and helped high-potential employees prepare for high-stakes leadership moments—including briefings at the White House. Now, she brings this same strategic guidance to organizations seeking to strengthen employee retention and build confident, collaborative, and flexible teams.

Katherine’s sessions are especially effective for Gen Z and early-career employees navigating the transition from school to work, and for new managers stepping into leadership roles for the first time.
