Clinton G. Johnson Launches BreakThrough At Work: A Data-Driven Coaching and App Platform Tackling Talent Blindspots in Corporate America
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — National Geographic Explorer and antiracist geoarchitect Clinton G. Johnson today announced the launch of BreakThrough At Work, a dual 8-week coaching program and mobile app designed to address one of corporate America's most persistent challenges: the systemic invisibility of Black, Latinx, and women professionals in leadership pipelines.
The program uses Johnson's Undeniable Storytelling Method to help high-potential professionals overcome 'Talent Blindspots'—structural and cultural patterns that cause organizations to overlook qualified employees despite measurable impact. Combining live coaching, career templates, and a microlearning app, BreakThrough At Work offers a scalable, data-driven solution to improve representation, retention, and leadership readiness.
'Too many brilliant professionals are doing the work, driving results, and still being overlooked,' Johnson said. 'If we want to fix what's broken in our workplaces, we must start by equipping the people stuck in talent blindspots.'
The Business ImpactWorkforce studies highlight the urgency:
70% of employees of color report working harder just to be seen as competent (CTI).
Women of color hold less than 5% of senior roles despite earning the majority of advanced degrees in their demographic (LeanIn & McKinsey).
Leadership visibility gaps cost U.S. businesses $398B annually in lost productivity (SHRM & Gallup).
Traditional DEI programs often emphasize compliance over career growth, leaving many capable employees stalled or exiting. BreakThrough At Work shifts the focus from liability to leverage, helping professionals build undeniable personal brands while providing organizations with a roadmap to unlock hidden capacity.
Launch Timeline & Early ImpactThe mobile app launched in June 2025, with the first full coaching cohort starting September 22, 2025. Early participants report increased recognition, faster promotions, and renewed career confidence—without code-switching or burnout.
Cohort applications and the free guide From Invisible to Irresistible are now available at ClintonGJohnsonCoach.com.
About Us At Spaces LLCUs At Spaces builds tools and programs to help underrecognized professionals thrive across industries. BreakThrough At Work blends behavioral science, workplace equity research, and actionable career coaching to help overlooked talent become undeniable while enabling companies to see, support, and retain them.

Paramount's new owners to increase film production, hang on to cable networks
FILE PHOTO: A Paramount logo is shown on the top of a building in Hollywood before the Paramount Global $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media is expected to be completed this week, in Los Angeles, California, U.S., August 5, 2025. REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Paramount Global unveiled plans on Wednesday to retain and develop its stalwart entertainment brands Nickelodeon, MTV, and BET, while sharply increasing feature film production following its $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media. "We're thinking about ... the cable networks, not as declining linear assets that we need to spin off or deal with somehow," said President Jeff Shell. "We're thinking of those brands that we have to redefine." Shell joined Chairman and CEO David Ellison and the rest of the executive team at a media gathering on Wednesday on the Paramount Pictures lot, where they discussed strategy for their film, television, and streaming businesses - as well as emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. The press event was held a week after Paramount completed its merger with Skydance Media, installing new leadership at the media company. Television Media Chair George Cheeks acknowledged the decline of cable television - "there's no question it's a super challenging business" - but added that the company's cable networks have created iconic franchises that may well thrive in the world of streaming video. Shell singled out BET, a network focused on Black culture that Paramount previously explored selling, as an important building block of the company's streaming strategy. Paramount's plans to develop its legacy cable networks come at a time when other media companies are shedding fading cable Bros Discoveryand Comcast have announced plans to separate their cable businesses from their studios and streaming operations. Josh Greenstein, co-chair of Paramount Pictures, said the studio plans to raise annual output, from eight this yearto 15 movies "very quickly," with the ultimate goal of releasing 20 films a year. The coming slate will include new installments of familiar franchises, such as "Star Trek" or "Transformers," as well as original movies, like the newly acquired James Mangold film project, "High Side," starring Timothée Chalamet. The studio also will seek out family fare, in the vein of "A Night at the Museum" or "The Goonies." "We love these movies. We all grew up on these movies, and we don't feel like many people are making them," said Dana Goldberg, co-chair of Paramount Pictures. Ellison said his goal is to transform Paramount into a haven for the most talented filmmakers and sees emerging technologies like artificial intelligence providing a tool to enhance storytelling. "I also think we have to acknowledge that this is a technology that is evolving, I think, faster than everyone in Hollywood really thinks it is," said Ellison, who is the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. "When you start putting that in a filmmaker's hands, I think you're seeing another moment that'll be as transformative as when John Lasseter and Steve Jobs built Pixar."

TEAMSTERS CALL ON PENNSYLVANIA STATE SENATE TO SOLVE TRANSIT FUNDING CRISIS
SEPTA Funding is Critical for Workers and Millions of Passengers HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The following is a statement from Bill Hamilton, President of the Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters; Jeff Joines, Director of Government Affairs for the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes, and Don Hill, General Chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen — Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA): 'The Teamsters represent hundreds of SEPTA workers, as well as tens of thousands of union members who rely on it to get to and from their jobs every day. If Pennsylvania State Senators don't solve the $213 million budget shortfall facing our public transportation infrastructure by tomorrow, millions of passengers could start experiencing severe service cuts in only twelve days. 'Public transportation isn't just important to the greater Philadelphia area, it's critical for economic prosperity and quality of life throughout the commonwealth. Addressing this issue isn't about pitting cities against rural communities, or political factions scoring points. This is about common sense problem-solving on behalf of the entire Keystone State. 'The fact that five different bills have reached the upper chamber proves that there is no shortage of ideas for addressing the fiscal cliff Pennsylvania is currently facing. Furthermore, our lawmakers are perfectly capable of closing budgetary gaps while also preserving good union jobs, enhancing service, and putting SEPTA on sustainable footing. This is exactly what the state senate needs to do before the end of the day tomorrow. 'Pennsylvanians shouldn't have to suffer due to politicians abdicating their responsibilities. Stop bickering and figure it out.' Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
