Advance Praise

“We’ve got good leadership all wrong. Effective leaders are not cold, transactional, or manipulative. They’re real. Present. Authentic. Connected. The Seismic Shift in You shatters the outdated model and shows you exactly what kind of leaders get results—and why it matters. Drs. Michelle Johnston and Marshall Goldsmith nailed it. This book is the shift we need.”

The Seismic Shift in You is a profoundly important book for leaders who understand that true connection begins from within. Michelle Johnston and Marshall Goldsmith expertly guide readers through actionable, meaningful shifts that transform not just how we lead but how we show up in every area of our lives. Their emphasis on genuine human connection, vulnerability, and the intentional energy we bring to our interactions resonates deeply with my own leadership philosophy, where people matter first and foremost. This book is not just insightful; it’s essential reading for anyone committed to becoming a more effective, authentic, and connected leader. Highly recommended!”

If you’re ready to go beyond performance and step into real influence, this is your guide.”

—ERICA DHAWAN, bestselling author of Digital Body Language


The Seismic Shift in You is insightful, practical, and profoundly human. Johnston and Goldsmith show that real leadership transformation doesn’t start with strategy—it starts with self-awareness.
