Dr. Lynn Johnson, an accomplished educator and entrepreneur, shares an inspiring story of perseverance and purpose that deeply influences her work in business and education. Johnson’s journey, which began in the Lake Wales projects and culminated in a PhD, is a powerful testament to overcoming adversity. She actively uses her personal background—including being raised by her grandmother—to connect with and uplift young people, proving that one's beginnings do not dictate one's future.

In the Warner University classroom, Johnson is known as a rigorous business professor who teaches ”life is all about” accountability and relationship-building, not just theory. She blends academic concepts with real-world examples to prepare students for professional challenges.

Johnson’s doctoral research on employee retention led to her published book and her CARES leadership framework: Connection, Acknowledgment, Respect, Empowerment, and Support. She champions this profound yet straightforward philosophy in all her roles, particularly as President of one of Florida’s largest SHRM chapters, where she trains leaders to genuinely care for their people.

Johnson emphasizes that the most critical element for educators is the initial ”C” for Connection. She urges teachers to intentionally reach out to struggling students, recognizing that this simple act can change a life. Her commitment to her hometown remains strong through her consulting, mentorship, and service on the charter school board, where she continues to pour back into the community that raised her. Johnson's ultimate goal is not chasing titles, but maintaining the flexibility to live a balanced life while continuing to train and help others succeed.
