Are SUPERACHIEVERS

Johné is truly a one-of-a-kind inclusive leader. He excels at building relationships, serving clients, defining what success looks like, and ensures that his team delivers. He has a way with words to effectively communicate. While facilitating, he shares inspiring and authentic stories and leans into differences. Through our projects, I've had the privilege of collaborating with Johné and discovered potential within myself that I never knew I had. Johné is transparent about sharing how he learns by being reflective and listening. I am fortunate to have been on a team with Johné Battle. I could not recommend him enough.

I have had the pleasure of being professionally coached by Johné Battle for my own executive leadership development. I have also had the privilege of sharing the stage with him as a colleague regarding critical topics around “How to Leverage BRG’s to Drive Organizational Innovation”. Through our work together I received detailed organizational leadership strategies during our one-to-one meetings along with developmental exercises that offered key insights which gave me the foundation to become a more “Inclusive Leader”.

Our thought-provoking working sessions helped me build up my leadership strengths, take a deep introspective approach that forced me to challenge my point-of-view, while also giving me practical tools that were applicable for both current and future career growth. Johné’s executive coaching and advocacy on my behalf with leadership has been a tremendous value-add to my professional journey and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for executive coaching that will make a difference in their leadership style and drive innovation with their team.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Johné while he was at JCI. What an exceptional human being! We may hear the term "change agent" a lot lately. Johné is most assuredly the smartest and most passionate change agent I have ever met. He talks about changing the world - inspiring 10 million people in the next 10 years. He means it. He will do it. We talked a lot about engaging and inspiring human beings (whether they be called employees, sales or customers). He understands how to make this happen in talent acquisition, talent development, and talent engagement.

What a talent he is!

I had the opportunity to study in the field of corporate learning at the University of Pennsylvania with Johné. He has consistently demonstrated a very strong experience as a learning and business executive. Johné has also become recognized by his peers for his keen interest and expertise on the topics of diversity, and athletics coaching.

With a keen insight which quickly navigates SWOT analysis that provides valuable action plans that lead to success, Johné continually asserts his value to any organization. I have thoroughly enjoyed all work that has enabled me to engage teaming with Johné and look forward to the opportunity to do so again.

He also looks beyond what may seem to be simple issues and finds the long term, sustainable approach that is hidden underneath. I know that he will continue to be a valuable component of any organization.

He came into JCI when he had to quickly deliver against a critical project underway, while having to assimilate into the organization and plan for the future. He grabbed onto this huge, complicated, global project with true leadership and made it a success. He meets people where they are at, yet is able to move them along a path to a better future for the organization.

His eclectic background provides a unique lens to dissect an area of opportunity and the creative genius to develop innovative approaches and solutions.
