INTROVERTED

OVERTHINKER,

who learned to turn introversion.           

into innovation and deep thought        

into strategy + perspective synergy.   

Life doesn’t come with a manual. Neither does leadership.

Don’t we wish they did?!

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the complexity of it all. As a self-proclaimed Introverted Overthinker, I’ve spent (literally) my entire life learning to turn introspection into innovation and overthinking into strategy.

That journey taught me how to use emotional intelligence to cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and create the changes I want to see.

Now, I teach others how to do the same.

Hi! I’m Dr. Vee Johnson, widely known as The EQ Doctor.
I work at the intersection of emotional intelligence, personal development, and organizational culture, with a mission to help individuals and organizations effectively harness the power of emotions and social interaction.

As a coach, strategist, consultant, and speaker, I simplify the complexities of emotional intelligence (EQ) to revolutionize how we think, connect, and lead. My approach is rooted in “redesigning the brain’s interior”—shifting thought patterns, elevating emotional intelligence, and optimizing social dynamics to create real, lasting change.

Combining insights from neuroscience and psychology with my own consciously disruptive research, I develop innovative tools and strategies to help people unlock their full potential.

My mission is to:

  • Inspire curiosity that sparks meaningful exploration and growth.

  • Facilitate alignment to help others live with clarity and purpose.

  • Build resilience to navigate challenges with confidence and strength.

  • Repair organizational culture and climate by fostering trust, equity, and authentic connection.

  • Elevate well-being by nurturing healthier, more thriving communities.

I believe that when we reshape how we perceive and engage with our emotional and mental capacities, we unlock the power to create profound, positive change in our lives and the world.

My work has positioned me as a trusted advisor and partner to executives, medical professionals, community leaders, and individuals from all walks of life, empowering them to live a life of purpose, alignment, and growth.

By reshaping the way we perceive and use our mental and emotional capacities, we can create profound and lasting positive change in our lives and the world.

That’s What They Said.

“It's a little unorthodox perhaps for a church to contract a coach but it is one of the best decisions we could have made. Dr. LaVita provided leadership development and training to our staff. As church leader, I took the 360 assessment. I learned quite a bit about myself and the way others perceived me to be. Armed with new knowledge - we quickly noticed a difference in the way we operated and the feedback from others was overwhelmingly positive.”

- Christ Believers Ministries

“Hands down the best workshops I have ever attended. She made me realize what I needed and didn't need in my life.”

- Tracie F.

“The level of expertise Dr. Johnson brought to our company's advisory board was unmatched.”
