I recommend John Johnson as a guest speaker as he is an empowering and uplifting young speaker who really believes in his craft. He truly is one of a kind and I admire his poise and commitment to excellence. I appreciate his desire to improve himself, but more importantly his desire to improve the lives of others. John was an inspiration to the students and staff he engaged with for the first time during the conference and is a great representation of a true facilitator.

​"I have been impressed with John's self-leadership and humility. He's a tremendous learner and teacher who aims to grow every day. It's rare to find young professionals who take account for their areas of growth and who exhibit the capacity to ride the wave of adversity and show fortitude to endure and make it out the other side. John is intentional in how he seeks out and develops connections. He cares about the work he does as well as who it reaches. I believe he lives to serve, and possesses a hunger and willingness to reach his best potential while inspiring others to do the same."
