Brooke is a former Sony BMG recording artist turned Peak Performance Coach. She’s been coaching both privately and in the industry for over 13 years. People seek out her services when they’re trying to find the inspiration and self-belief it takes to transform during a life or career transition, or if they need to overcome an obstacle to achieve a new dream. In our all-too-brief conversation today, we managed to touch on all sorts of powerful coaching principles - executive presence (and not just from the stage), the vital importance of authenticity in the workplace, the foundational role of trust in the coaching relationship (it IS her jam, after all)...and somehow a LOT more. As you might expect from a Professional Musician turned Performance Coach, Brooke has a tremendous amount of insight into how you can bring out the best in yourself...and how the right coach at the right time can help you hit that 'perfect note'.

Dr. Johnston is the Chief Leadership Grower at LGRC, an organization that specializes in growing leaders through coaching.

As a leadership coach, he works with individuals and organizations to increase leadership effectiveness. Dr. Johnston is recognized as an up-and-coming training and developing professional and a student of leadership. Jamaal's approach to coaching and leadership is very well-represented by this excerpt from his LinkedIn profile: "People have ideas of what leadership looks like. But real leadership rarely matches the images we have in our minds. Leadership is more than just standing on the bow of a rowboat crossing the Delaware River. Leadership is more than giving a speech on horseback while wearing blue face paint. Leadership is more than telling a crowd you have a dream from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Big moments spent leading on big stages are built by countless smaller moments leading in the trenches. Real leadership is about standards of thinking and the synthesis of multiple perspectives."
