Michael Johnson, founder of Diamond Dynamic (www.Diamond-Dynamic.com) helps corporations profit though understanding the world’s two most diverse cultures: male and female.
Although biologically wired to think like a man, raising two daughters forced him to see the world through the eyes of women and fostered Mike’s interest in gender communication. Today’s his daughters enjoy successful careers in two male-dominated occupations; law enforcement Sheriff and professional chef. Prior to starting his own business communication consulting firm, Mike enjoyed a successful sales career with General Electric and was recruited to develop and teach training and communication courses for GE employees.
Mike now lectures for San Jose State College of Business, UCSC and the Haas Graduate School of Business at U.C. Berkeley on entrepreneurship and is on the board of the Association for Corporate Growth and a member of Boardroom Bound, an organization dedicated to assisting women in preparing for and obtaining board positions in corporate America. He is also a mentor for Astia, a non-profit helping women-owned businesses obtain funding.
Mike has been featured in INC Magazine, Sales & Marketing Management, San Jose Business Journal, the San Jose Mercury News and the Santa Cruz Sentinel. In addition to degrees in philosophy, psychology and electrical engineering, Mike holds advanced certifications in Neuropsychology, Linguistics and Hypnotherapy and is coauthor of “Getting the Business Breakthrough You Want.”
