Carla Johnson

Carla did a beautiful job of drawing out the essence of what made the people, brand and culture great. This armed the leadership team and I with valuable insights.

Carla shows how teaching everyone in an organization innovative thinking leads to greater trust, better work and phenomenal results.

Carla's keynote address at our first-ever Innovation summit was a big hit! Prior to the event she was readily available at a moment's notice, and was prepared by having done her homework on the markets we serve, our customers' personas, our products, and our culture. As an innately-curious innovation professional, Carla went the extra mile by asking detailed questions that helped tie her talk to our company's unique situation in a way that resonated with the audience, which was primarily our sales force. She’s extremely authentic, and her humor and storytelling immediately led everyone to see and believe in the power of their own ideas, and how they too can drive innovation in our company. I recommend Carla for a keynote address for a wide array of audience types, as she's quite adept at analyzing the audience and adapting her message to their needs.

Carla brings a level of polished professionalism that kept the audience leaning in the entire time she presented her keynote. And her workshop was one of the most interactive experiences I have been a part of with a guest speaker. The time and care Carla spent preparing for the day with us helped her step seamlessly into our world, and gain the buy-in and permission of the team to engage deeply with them. Since Carla came and worked with our teams, they’ve been sending me chats around ideas and how to present them. By leaving them with a call to action to demonstrate their new skills with finding and presenting ideas, she’s already had an impact.

Our work with Carla has helped us leapfrog to an entirely new level of performance.

I always learn so much from watching Carla speak. Having seen her recent talk on innovation, I picked up a lot of ideas and also some specific approaches for using this within my company. The insights and innovation processes are something I'll be using for our marketing campaigns as well as with the executive team at Treasure Data for bigger, strategic ideas. I highly recommend Carla as a speaker and she also has great books for going even deeper!

Carla’s energy on stage was my favorite part of working with her. It’s absolutely contagious! She got the whole audience up, laughing, feeling positive, and energized. She made her concepts funny so everyone could identify with them. Then she backed them up with stories and examples that made them hit home. I’m 100% having her back at my next conference!

Carla possesses a unique ability to create an environment that sparks innovation. Her passion for fostering creativity was not only evident but contagious, inspiring our team to think beyond traditional boundaries and embrace a truly innovative mindset. Carla’s workshop was a catalyst for change, instilling in us the confidence to approach challenges with a fresh perspective and the tools to turn ideas into action.
