What They Did NOT Teach Me in My MBA

Whether we realize it or like it or not we are all leaders.

Our clients, peers, partners, and the public judge everything we say and do whether we like it or not.
What They Did Not Teach Me in My MBA is a fast-paced, fun filled class sharing my top lessons from nearly 30 years in management and leadership of small to large corporations and as a solopreneur. We are going to learn how our business is like our human body but focus on 3 key areas.

  • We begin with understanding that first impression does matter and are often wrong.
  • Then we talk about the ‘brains’ of our business planning and knowing your numbers in a simple way
  • The class moves on to the ‘heart’ of business, that is right your heart, to explore and understand why

I am confident you will find numerous easy to apply tips or tricks to help grow and develop your small business.

Prepare to cut yourself some SLAC, take a smoke break, be BAD at the office, jump out of a plane, party like a rock star, use passion and date…

About Steve Johnson

After getting a BS in Business, I began in distribution and supply chain leadership and management, moving up and around the country. I became a division Vice President in one of the fastest growing national companies at the time at age of 27. With both field and corporate management and leadership experience, I completed an Executive MBA at the University of Denver. I left large business to pursue greener pastures (or so I thought) in smaller companies to increase my general management and sales experience. I have started and continue to run two small businesses, Quad J Farms and Steve Johnson Photography.

My business is general portraiture, headshots and a limited number of weddings/special events, and corporate work, but I love when I am in the rodeo arena with bulls, broncs and my camera. I have earned my Master Photographer and Photographic Crafstman Degrees and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) through PPA, I am an award winner, and internationally published, and actively involved with both PPA (Professional Photographers of America, and VPPA (Virginia Professional Photographers) where I am an elected councilor for PPA, and Board member and Marketing Director for VPPA.

I am passionate about helping people with depression and emotional challenges and feeding the hungry. I love time with my wife and daughters, and I also almost never turn down a chance to travel, photograph steam trains, or ride my bike.
