Dr. J. Ibeh Agbanyim
Dr. Agbanyim understands how important human capital is to your business. His business is to guide you to find, motivate, retain, and engage employees. He believes in the principles of focus and engagement. These two psychological constructs work in concert and are rooted in science and practice. Any effort to ignore one over the other creates an imbalance in our daily business practice. He uses a conversational speaking style to draw his audience into becoming change agents.
He is an industrial-organizational psychology practitioner, a multiple best-selling author, executive ghostwriter, professional coach, co-founder of Humanity 101 at Arizona State University, and the founder of Focused Vision Consulting, LLC. He helps team members and corporations collaborate and coaches authority figures and team members on how to increase job satisfaction, contentment, retention, engagement, productivity, and overall work and life integration. His book The Five Principles of Collaboration addresses the importance of individuals collaborating in the workplace, relationships, and social settings for a shared goal.
Dr. Agbanyim has published multiple scholarly articles and bestselling books on collaboration, engagement, thought processes, decision-making, and the emotion of fear. His work has been widely read and applied by individuals who represent major corporations and institutions, including Intel, UPS, Bank of America, the U.S. Air Force, Arizona State University, and many others. As a public speaker, Agbanyim has engaged in speaking engagements both nationally and internationally (UAE, Europe, Canada, South Asia, and Africa) and has been featured on several podcasts and news media, including Forbes, Psychology Today, International Honor Society in Psychology (Psi Chi), and many others.
He earned both a master’s and doctorate in industrial-organizational psychology from Grand Canyon University; a master class executive education in art and practice of leadership development from Harvard Kennedy School, under the guidance of Dr. Ronald Heifetz, and an executive certificate from MIT Sloan School of Management in Management and Leadership. When he’s not working, Dr. Agbanyim spends time with his family and enjoys outdoor activities.
