“Do you know we are all CEO’s? … The Chief Energy Officer of our lives! … and think how that energy affects other people and the way you behave.” CRAIG JOHNS
In 2013, Craig Johns’ life changed. He found himself flat-lining in an emergency room as a result of going beyond the human limits. Craig was working more than 70-80 hours a week, disregarding personal health and well-being, and experiencing high levels of stress. The emotional effects on his wife, employees and those closest to him was the catalyst he needed to be more than a leader of high performance and become a high performing leader.
“Have you ever over done it, in your life … for all the right reasons?” CRAIG JOHNS
He decided to Break The CEO Code and focus on implementing the skills he had learnt as a former elite athlete, sport scientist and international head coach into becoming a high performing CEO. Utilising his 25 years of experience successfully leading, managing, coaching and providing sport science around the globe, Craig has developed Breaking The CEO Code and active CEO to transform leaders into becoming high performing leaders.
“As humans we are creatures of habit and require boundaries in our lives.” CRAIG JOHNS
Through his active CEO podcast, programs, speaking and coaching, Craig works with organisations and individuals to improve their wellness, productivity, influence and performance. His next generation leadership performance solutions are based on real facts and evidence. He delivers them in a practical way that you easily understand and can effectively implement.

Breaking The CEO Code
Future Of Leadership Performance
It can be very lonely at the top. Leaders are constantly under pressure to deliver outcomes such as more perfection, profit, products and prestige. They fall into the trap of working harder and thinking that more is better, when in most cases less is more. Craig learnt first hand the negative consequences of setting a culture of more, rather than facilitating a high performance environment.
Your organisation, team or people of influence are directly affected by the energy, stress, mood and focus you arrive with every single day.

There is a solution!
