Vicki Johnson On Scaling Her Way: Purposeful Growth And Social Impact Through Profellow
In this inspiring episode of No Boxes: Just Verses, we sit down with Dr. Vicki Johnson, founder of the tech company ProFellow. Are you a leader looking for life-changing opportunities but don't know where to find them? Are you struggling to balance a mission-driven business with your personal life? Vicki’s journey is a powerful testament to the value of servant leadership and building a career that is grounded in your values. From her humble beginnings in Delaware to a global career in public service, this conversation reveals the songs and stories that shaped a true "unboxed" leader.
Dr. Vicki Johnson is a speaker, author, and founder of ProFellow, the leading U.S. platform for emerging leaders, linking a diverse national audience of 330,000 members to competitive fellowships, top graduate schools, and leadership development programs.
Key Takeaways:
- The Power of an Unconventional Story: Learn how Vicki got into Cornell by telling a powerful, personal story about leading a losing high school sports team, proving that your unique experience can be your greatest asset.
- Finding Purpose in Service: Discover how her passion for public service led her to a career in emergency management, where she witnessed firsthand the power of national unity after the events of 9/11.
- Building a Business on Your Own Terms: Hear why Vicki chose to build ProFellow as a small, mission-driven social enterprise rather than a venture-backed startup, allowing her to have full control over her values and a healthy work-life balance.
- The "Bones" of a Business: Find out why she believes a company built with "strong bones"—rooted in values, a supportive community, and consistency—can withstand any challenge or economic headwind.
