Leadership Development for Government and Corporate Teams

I deliver live workshops and keynotes that help informal and emerging leaders build real influence - without burning out.

Trusted By Leading Organizations

Leadership is happening everywhere. Training isn’t.

In both government and corporate settings, much of the work gets done by people without formal titles - project leads, technical experts, and new managers.

They’re expected to collaborate across silos, influence up, and show up strong in the room… all without burning out.

But we rarely give them the tools to do that.

I help teams close that gap - through leadership development experiences that are live, practical, and built for how people actually work and lead today.

Is This Program Right for You?

This program is designed for organizations where:

✅ Communication is breaking down under pressure

✅ Burnout and disengagement are rising

✅ Silos, generational tension, or cultural differences are hurting collaboration

✅ People want to lead - but don’t feel they have the title or authority

✅ Teams are being asked to do more—with less support

I've Built a Career Leading WIthout a Title

I am John Godoy. I don’t teach theory. I teach what works when there’s no title, no playbook, and no room for fluff.

I’ve coached a U.S. Senate candidate, addressed audiences in 24 countries, and led leadership development workshops for government and corporate organizations in both Canada and the United States.

And I’ve done it all without ever holding a formal title.

That’s why my work hits differently - it’s built for people who lead without authority, but still need to show up, influence, and be leaders.

Every Room Matters

If you aspire to develop your room-leading skills, a great way to do so while also helping others, like the next generation, is to both network and directly contact universities.

If you lead the room, learn to own the room.

One of the worst parts of training sessions for me is going to ones where the person leading the room does not in fact, have the skills to lead the room.
