"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970)
In June 1987 I was from an upper middle class family, private school educated, recipient of full 4 year scholarships to a private university. I was also 7 months pregnant and homeless, living in the back of his mother's old cadillac with my alcoholic, drug addicted, abusive boyfriend. I now work full time at Microsoft, am a Creativity and Dream coach and have a rewarding, fulfilling life. I'd like to show women by my example that it is possible to not only survive but to excel, and to help them understand that they have the power to change their lives, if they will own that power.
Does someone you care about really want/need coaching but can't afford it? Check out what I can offer them at http://MyLifeCompass.com/LouiseJohnson.
I love helping people rediscover that creativity that they thought they had lost, as a Close To My Heart Independent stamping and scrapbooking consultant and Senior Executive Manager.
I am also a certified Dream Coach! (as of January 18, 2009) I’m beginning to schedule individual coaching clients now. Who do you know that feels frustrated trying to achieve their dreams, or empty because they don’t even know what their dreams are? I offer a step-by-step process for connecting you to your life's purpose and passion and to teach you how to create new dreams and make major life changes.
I am also a Senior Program Manager at Microsoft. I work with a team of professionals to determine the best next work for us to do to improve our tools, and to get that done. I love doing this because I get to make a difference in a lot of lives with my work, and I get to form close working relationships with other passionate, professional people.
Previous jobs include computer technical support, newspaper delivery, answering service operator and daycare provider.
Coach, relationship-builder and a results-oriented person. A good leader and inspiring speaker. Able to see the larger picture and guide a group in the right direction to meet longer-term goals with the work they are doing today. Fast learner, retain what I learn, and can take the technical details and explain them to lay people. Creative. Look for alternate ways of doing things, and take pride in what I create, whether virtual or a tactile piece of artwork.
