Kendra Johnson is a leadership keynote speaker who delivers research-backed talks on the human dynamics behind performance, culture, and retention, for conferences, executive audiences, and company kickoffs.
Delivered with the warmth, precision, and audience psychology that make a room lean in.
What happens in the space between a senior leader’s intent and the team’s experience of it? That question built The Venned Group, and it runs through every talk Kendra gives. She draws on proprietary research and patterns from working with more than 2,500 leaders, and audiences leave with language they can use immediately.
“This was one of my top three sessions. Excellent speaker, and a really creative way to solve a problem I’ve known existed but never knew how to fix.”
CHRO, HRMI Conference
AI is raising the value of soft skills, not replacing them. Drawing on eight years of research and real organizational data, Kendra shows what the best organizations do when they stop leaving the human side of work to chance and start designing it with the same intentionality they bring to strategy.
All audiences, AGMs, kickoffs.
There’s a difference between giving someone a leadership title and giving them the trust to use it. Kendra brings both sides of the leadership table into one conversation about accountability, authority, and what it takes to give and receive the permission to lead.
Executive, leadership, all audiences. Additional workshop and breakout topics available on request.
