Michael D Johnson

From the Classroom to the Boardroom Michael D Johnson

Over the course of his four years at Marist College, Michael D. Johnson did more than find his place in the school's social structure. Through his experiences in student government, he was shaped as a person in ways that continue to affect his postgrad career.

Eager to shed his identity as a shy high school senior from New Jersey, Michael arrived at college ready for transformation. He set his sights on the highest office possible: student body president. His personal storytelling delves into the emotional and rewarding pursuit and explores how he became a student leader. Though the events took place in the microcosm of a college campus, the lessons he learned proved valuable in later business experiences. Today Michael serves on the board of education in his hometown, a position he never would have considered without those critical college experiences.

This profound memoir looks at the early years of leadership from a rare perspective--the fresh memories forged through the trials of student leadership--to guide others through the process of managing their own life stories by developing their leadership profiles. Johnson invites you to share in his story and begin your own leadership journey today!
