Most people misunderstand leadership. They see it as dominance rather than direction—and followership as passive instead of powerful. In this transformative keynote, Michael Johnson uses the metaphor of ballroom dance to break down these misconceptions and rebuild a better model of leadership and collaboration.

With on-stage demonstrations from professional dancers, Michael brings leadership principles to life—teaching audiences how to build trust, clarity, and high-performance culture through the interplay between leading and following.

This keynote is equal parts entertainment and education, and offers a leadership framework that teams will remember—and apply—long after the event ends.
