Leadership growth starts with clarity—then leads to courage, capacity, and impact.

At Vivero Leadership, we believe the best leaders aren’t carbon copies. They’re forged through feedback, reflection, and intentional growth. That’s why we don’t offer templated programs. We build customized journeys that reveal your unique leadership design, clear out what's in the way, and activate your full potential.

We partner with CEOs and senior leaders who are ready to stop guessing, start moving, and lead with bold, confident clarity

Inspired by the Latin root vivere, meaning “to live” or “to thrive.”

At Vivero Leadership, we believe leadership isn’t a static skill—it’s a living identity. One that grows stronger when rooted in clarity, aligned with purpose, and activated with courage.

Vivero is pronounced vee-VEHR-oh.

The Vivero Method: A Clear Path for Leadership Growth

Most leaders can’t see their own blind spots. We help them change that—quickly, clearly, and powerfully.

Step 1

Feedback

We gather rich, qualitative insight from the trusted people who have experienced your leadership. No surface-level surveys. This is the real story of your leadership.

Step 2

Clarity

Through our proprietary Real Leadership ID process, you’ll discover your unique leadership identity—what to amplify, what to stop doing, and how to lead from your strengths.

Step 3

Confidence

We help you take bold action. You’ll lead with greater focus, make better decisions, and carry a quiet confidence that’s felt across your organization.

Step 4

Contribution

Ultimately, this work is about impact. You’ll lead more effectively, develop others more intentionally, and drive the kind of change that lasts.

You work with a seasoned executive. Roger Johnson brings over 30 years of real-world leadership experience to your side.

What It’s Like to Work with Roger

Roger Johnson is more than a coach—he’s your Chief Encourager and Truth Teller.

You’ll experience the rare combination of deep empathy and direct challenge. You’ll be stretched, supported, and sharpened. And you’ll walk away with tools and insight that make you a better leader, team builder, and person.

His promise: No fluff. No ego. Just a relentless commitment to your growth.

“Roger didn't just tell me what to do; he helped me discover what wasn't working and identify why people follow me.  I now operate with much higher confidence in my competencies and approach challenges with a willingness to ask questions and engage in deeper conversations.”
