No 10 year plan, LAUNCH Talk - Dr. Amber Johnson (WATCH NOW)
Dr. Amber Johnson’s inspiring LAUNCH talk, 'No Ten Year Plan,' reminds us that success doesn’t require a grand plan—just hard work, dedication, and tackling what’s in front of you.
Dr. Amber Johnson’s LAUNCH talk, ‘No Ten Year Plan,’ delivers a powerful message: ‘Just keep going and doing your best.’ Dr. Johnson never had a grand plan for her life, but through hard work and dedication, things naturally fell into place. From being the valedictorian of her high school to attending Vanderbilt University, she navigated each step without a specific direction, simply doing the work in front of her.
It wasn’t until a friend mentioned going into dentistry that Dr. Johnson decided to pursue the same path. This spontaneous decision led to her being accepted into the inaugural dual-degree program at Nova Southeastern University (NSU), where she earned both her Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) and Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). She went on to complete her residency at VCU—all without a structured plan.
In her talk, Dr. Johnson shares how her journey proves that success doesn’t always require a meticulously crafted plan. Sometimes, all it takes is tackling what’s in front of you and doing the work. Her story is a powerful reminder that hard work and commitment can lead you to places you never imagined.
