Russell Johnson's Linkedin Analytics

My early career plan collapsed when I was taken out of school in Australia at 14 to get a job. Instead, I began a journey of exploration. Across many industries, roles, and countries. On paths including self-employment, ministry, corporate and senior executive roles. Every success brought recognition that something was missing. In the US, I turned a lacklustre restaurant chain into an industry leader. With a new restaurant opening every 39 hours, Arby’s was recognized as the great turnaround of the era in its industry. Ranked in the Top 10 of the USA’s over 3,000 franchise systems. I rose to Chief Franchising Officer. But after a takeover of our Fortune 500 group, the culture became corrosive. I resigned to seek a personally meaningful purpose, then stayed on for a nearly tripled income. More money, same problem. I stayed for two years, then shed the golden handcuffs and left to find my calling. Lacking strategy and methodology, I searched for several years. Finally in 1992, I found my fulfillment in helping others avoid or recover from career mistakes. And since then, my colleagues and I have helped thousands of clients to do so.
