Natalie Johnson's 2025 biography

Natalie Johnson’s Mission: Transforming Workplace Culture for Resilient and High-Performing Teams

The world of work has changed. Technological advances have surpassed our ability to adapt and the way we work is less predictable and more flexible. As work continues to change, it’s imperative for workplace culture to update with these changes. People need to elevate, manage and protect their own energy. Teams need to prioritize connection so they can maintain high levels of trust and communication and leaders need to choose courage and demonstrate leadership in a way that prioritizes the growth of others.

Natalie had a unique experience of starting her career working in sport performance. Her role was to support athletes in maintaining their highest level of performance while their environment was constantly changing and even crumbling. She realized quickly that sport performance strategies are applicable to everyone. She transitioned to working in academics and continued her education while transitioning into healthcare and ultimately working with corporations to create healthy people and companies. Today, Natalie uses all her experiences to create the work conditions necessary so people can function at full capacity while creating and nurturing intentional culture.

Natalie recognizes that culture is a broad term that is often not defined well. To maximize her keynotes she shares a clear definition of what culture is and uses her time to help people solve culture issues that exist or optimize culture as they face change. Her keynotes inspire audiences while empowering them with tools, language and skills they use in real time together. Some of the most common culture problems she addresses include:

Employees who are overwhelmed and struggle with work and life integration
High turnover rates
Drama, friction, poor communication and lack of trust on teams
Leaders who are overwhelmed and under skilled

Natalie has a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Florida State University and a Masters Degree in Wellness Promotion from the California College for Health Sciences. She is a certified Performance Coach, Health Coach, Executive Coach and Certified Dare to Lead Facilitator™ who was trained by Dr Brene Brown. She resides in Florida in the United States and serves clients and audiences globally.
