Since 2004, John Wohrle has spent his time in associate development. Working with big brand companies like Loreal, the JcPenney Corporation and as a REALTOR ® with Schuler Bauer Real Estate Services, he’s spent his time strengthening his presentation and facilitation skills by teaching skill sets, business practices, and social media skills. During John’s time with Loreal, he was coached by the best Sales and Leadership coach, Blair Singer, received Voice and Speaking training from Stewart Pearce from the United Kingdom, and IMPROV presentation trainings with John Sweeny of the Brave New Workshop out of Minneapolis. All that training has propelled John’s growth into the best version of himself to-date.

When he made the decision to reconnect with the community and focus on homelife in 2019, Leadership Southern Indiana was there to help him reestablish his roots.

“I was invited by my friend, Laurie Kemp, to join her for the Annual meeting with Leadership Southern Indiana.” John says, “After attending, I felt a great connection with LSI, and wanted to get involved. I then applied for the Discover 2021 class and was accepted. I spent the year of the pandemic experiencing so many incredible moments virtually and in person with my class. It was by far one of my top experiences in my life, being able to see my community at a higher and deeper level. At the end of my Discover program, I was voted as the Class Rep, and have been able to serve on the Advisory Board for LSI.”

Now, as LeadershipSI’s Director of Programs, John works to show that you lead effectively by seeing others succeed, celebrating them and their wins. Within this role, he’s looking forward to building upon our program foundation; incorporating and expanding customized options for businesses and companies, taking into consideration the needs and desires of both up-and-coming and current leaders within the community.
