I had a great discussion with Whitney and she gave me great advice to go and get this technology out in the marketplace , it was simple but very important advice and I hope Whitney has time in her busy schedule to offer more advice when I come up against other things that come up in the future . Thanks again Whitney
Source: Clarity Adrian Daly Jun 21, 2013I got to know Whitney through Twitter. Then I read her book - Dare, Dream, Do. I needed a closing speaker for a conference I coordinate and I decided on Whitney. I built her presentation up throughout the conference, telling everyone how good it would be. The result - Whitney came through. Her speech was captivating and instructive. It gave people practical ideas while pulling them into Whitney's vision for having dreams and reaching for them. Whitney was great.

Source: LinkedIn Robin Lin Hodgskin, CFP® Jun 6, 2013Whitney's Dare, Dream, Do Circle was incredible. She empowered the group be bold enough to truly dream and helped us discover (and often times) rediscover our dreams. Whitney created a fantastic telecourse that provided background and structure while allowing for meaningful discussions. I left each session with clear direction and next steps in the process of finding and pursuing my dreams. Whitney - thank you!
Source: LinkedIn Semhal Tadesse Araya Jun 6, 2013Whitney Johnson is an excellent speaker, and gave two great presentations on our college campus as part of our fall lecture series. Her afternoon talk for our first year seminars centered around her theme of "disrupt yourself"--she was witty, engaged, and dynamic, and the students responded very well. The evening event centered around Dare, Dream, Do, and was well delivered and received, and left the students with a great deal to talk about!
Having organized and hosted over a dozen speaker series and lecture events on campus, it was one of the easiest programs to organize. Whitney and her team were extremely efficient, professional, and fun to work with. I would recommend her highly to colleagues at other college campuses as a great campus speaker in the areas of professional and personal development, career strategy, and student engagement. Given her themes, she would also be excellent in corporate or professional association settings.
Source: LinkedIn Stephen Bragaw Jun 6, 2013LOVED her presentation at TEDxEmbarcadero, a conference on innovation. She shared data, stories, and weaved relevance for people so that she inspired us all to dare / dream / do more.
Source: LinkedIn Nilofer Merchant Jun 6, 2013In my responsibilities as Investor Relations manager, I became convinced that Whitney Johnson is one of the best research analysts in her field. Her insightful research ideas stem from a profound understanding of the sectors she covers and a rigorous thought process that forms the backbone of her work. In addition, Whitney is one of the most dynamic, interesting and honest persons that I have had the opportunity to meet.
