Guest Bio:
Deborah Johnson knows what it feels like to be stuck. She came from the gig economy while also raising 3 sons, so she’s very familiar with reinvention. Deborah took a huge risk to put her solo headliner music show on large stages. None of her friends were doing anything like this, so it took getting beyond the self-doubt & wondering if she could really do it. And she did!!
But when the Great Recession of 2008-09 hit, many of her large music shows were cancelled, but she noticed that speakers were still working so she expanded her platform to also include speaking & writing with a process to help others maximize their skills, talents & resources. Deborah shares a message of inspiration, hope & authentic growth.
Inspirational speaker, author and international award-winning music artist, Deborah helps others get unstuck by producing and executing a successful plan for their second half. Up for multiple GRAMMY Awards and spending over 20 years in the entertainment industry, she's an expert on how to constantly reinvent yourself in a gig-economy. Deborah is the author of five books, and speaks and performs in both live and virtual events. She is also the past president of the National Speakers Association, Los Angeles.
