“Linda facilitated many difficult but timely discussions on Black Lives Matter”
Ultimate medical Academy began partnering with Linda last year during the civil and racial unrest in our Country and her presentation addressed the topics that could often be uncomfortable to discuss, yet she went head on into unchartered waters and the response from our employees were well received.

Elizabeth Laboy, President, Leadership Transformation Group.
“Linda is a Master Trainer and Curriculum Developer”
“Linda Johnson exemplifies excellence, devotion and dedication to her craft. The curriculum she authors comes alive in her training classes, engaging and transforming her participants.”

A Caring Mentor and Coach
I had the privilege of having Linda Johnson as my mentor. During the course of our sessions, we talked about my long-term romantic relationship, along with my work and my spiritual life. Linda would share her impressions with me, and sometimes challenge me to look within to see how God was leading in these areas my life. Her loving and caring demeanor, coupled with her non-judgmental attitude helped me to feel cared for and safe. She is a very transparent person and isn’t afraid to admit her mistakes, learn from them and laugh about them. Her stories helped me relate better to her and I learned a lot throughout our mentorship. Linda is also very insightful and perceptive. I am thankful to Linda for our many mentoring sessions and highly recommend her to future mentees.
