Greta Johnson’s journey through public service is a powerful testament to trusting your gut and embracing life’s unexpected turns. Rooted in blue-collar values and shaped by her parents’ resilience, Greta has followed a “five-minute plan” mindset, focusing on excellence in the moment rather than rigid long-term goals. From prosecuting cases to becoming a state representative while raising twins, and now serving in Summit County administration, she has led with heart, intentionality, and courage. Her hard-earned wisdom around sustainability, “Resting is not quitting,” reminds us that meaningful impact starts with taking care of ourselves and others. Highlights from this episode:Growing up in a blue-collar family where both parents modeled hard work and sacrificeFollowing her intuition into law school after initially planning to become a high school English teacherTransitioning from prosecution to state politics when approached to run for office while raising one-year-old twinsDiscovering greater impact in local government as part of Summit County's administrationLeading Summit County's groundbreaking lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributorsDeveloping an intentional leadership style that adapts to each team member's needsRecognizing that "resting is not quitting" after years of burnout from constant workDefining success as making meaningful contributions each day rather than achieving external accoladesAdvising young leaders to "trust your gut, always" and established leaders to maintain collaborationhttps://www.toddbertsch.com/podcast/episode-36-justice-leadership-legacy-with-greta-johnson/Thanks for listening!
