Rocky founded  Express Employment Professionals of Tyler, TX more than 25 years ago. His goal was to help the businesses in his community find the talent they needed. Rocky’s commitment to service has made the Tyler office one of the Top 3 out of more than 800 Express offices worldwide.

Working with local businesses every day gives Rocky a birds-eye view of the challenges they have in common. One of the most common is turnover and trouble with employee retention. He believes that everything rises and falls on leadership.

He decided to invest in the Modern Management Program to provide a solution to these challenges. It takes training to become a better leader. Those better leaders increase loyalty and improve productivity. Development for emerging leaders is a wise investment.

At some point all leaders find they have hit their ceiling and old solutions don’t work to get them or their business to the next level. Many business owners and executives find themselves working harder and harder but still not making meaningful progress on their goals. Jonathan knows what it is like to feel stuck. That’s why he started an Executive Coaching Firm – Blinker Fluid Coaching.

Jonathan has over 20 years of leadership experience as an Army Officer, Manufacturing Manager, and as an Owner/Manager in a family business. He is passionate about helping business owners and executives grow into an exciting next chapter of life. His goal is for business leaders to love what they do every day…teams that are winning and families that are thriving, because those leaders show up as the best versions of themselves at work and at home.

Jonathan is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. He received his MBA from Southern Methodist University and his masters in Executive Coaching and Consulting from Concordia University, Irvine.

Kevin Johnson is the founder of  LeadTandem Management Consulting.  His focus is on helping individuals and teams perform at a high level. What motivated him every day during the 13 years that he was an executive in the healthcare industry was the satisfaction of helping people move past roadblocks to maximize their strengths. Potential shouldn’t be wasted when there’s momentum and progress waiting on the other side.

The cohorts he built, managed, and led had amazing tenure at his company and within his industry. Few competitors saw the same degree of success, but his achievement wasn’t a unique situation. Even though every business and its dynamics are different, the principles for success are the same. The key is piecing together the right ones at the right time.

As a result:

• The vision and goals of the CEO and C-Suite are met.
• A company has a healthy work culture of satisfied, loyal employees while maintaining sound business operations.
• Tension and stress are transformed into positive forces of motivation and productivity.

Those are the frontline experiences that still fuel not only his work with businesses, but also his work as a business professor and while serving on the Business Advisory Committee for a local college.

As a result, his clients have access to the literature, the theories, and the constructive concepts that are out there.

Kenny grew up with an entrepreneurial father and mother and absorbed that spirit early in life. While in middle school, he would have his mother make an extra lunch that he would sell almost every day for vending machine money.

As a professional he discovered a love for helping leaders because he saw they often were expected to help others AND themselves. This led to a passion to learn as much as he could about what great leadership looks like and eventually led him to start his own company at 27. After multiple years, he sold his company to a larger enterprise and stayed around to help them go fully remote for the first time, expand their employment globally, and grow their revenue by almost double in 2 years during COVID. 

His passion is helping leaders to be better and gain clarity in a safe space as they chase their goals and discover who they were created to be. His focus is on creating leadership and organizational transformation that teams actually buy into in order to build a people-first and high-performance culture.
