Andrea Johnson

Executive Coach, Speaker & Podcaster

As an Executive Leadership coach, Andrea works with small-medium women owned/operated teams, to improve communication, change corporate culture and build up the next generation of female leaders. Her passion is equipping and empowering female leaders to step away from cultural expectations, trust their own ability to think critically, create imaginatively and lead effectively.

Her personal story of childhood obesity, bulimia and depression, early menopause, gastric bypass surgery and private adoption, are all threads in the lovely tapestry of her journey leading her right here.

When she lost her mother in February of 2017, after a 15 year fight with breast cancer, the reflective nature of grief created a crucible of sorts, within which she was able to uncover the principles of Intentional Optimism (The Six Tents are: Optimistic, Present, Energetic, Courageous, Wise and Intentional) - a comprehensive approach to Personal Growth and Leadership Training viewed through the lens of hope. Andrea uses Intentional Optimism to teach and coach, as it provides the framework for how we do what we do. It’s the attitudes and mindsets we employ and embody to live out our own goals and dreams with excellence.
