| Juanita Johnson is a well respected and popular workshop presenter and keynoter. What makes her workshops and keynotes unique is her ability to give clear factual information, and yet at the same time share with her audience her own experiences and struggles through poignant stories. She also has an uncanny ability to intuit what her audience needs from her workshop or keynote. She holds a stockpile of stories in her memory that she can pull out and use when appropriate. Her style of presenting is to be well prepared, organized and authentic with her audience. Her tone of voice is soothing and she is easy to listen to. Although she can be funny she is more apt to bring a tear to your eye as she tells you one of her powerful stories of love, loss and connection. |
Juanita's adult
education workshops give individuals the chance to explore how
people live their lives, the kinds of experiences that cause
sadness, and the difficulties of change. Many of the workshops seek
to develop understanding and skills to help people better express
that they care. All the workshops are meant to be helpful,
inspirational and fun for participants. Goals and objectives of each
workshop are available upon request. Workshops last from one hour to two days, and some are available in more than one length. A keynote address can be developed from
any of the workshop topics.

groups. The concepts are easy to learn and will make any group experience
