Are you struggling to express yourself in a way that commands attention and influences action?
Do you find yourself shrinking back when it's time to handle conflict, showcase your talents, or respond to skeptics?
Does the mere thought of dealing with different personalities at work make your head spin?
Imagine moving from hesitant and overwhelmed to confident and assertive—both at work and in life.
That’s exactly what we’ll accomplish together in my 90-day, 1:1 coaching experience.
Yes. Let's Do This
Activate and Amplify
Your Presence
If your goal is to position yourself for a promotion, develop a stronger leadership presence, or influence your team during change and uncertainty, you’ll pick three key areas you want to supercharge. In just 90+ days, we’ll crush common work-life challenges like:
-
Speaking up with assertiveness
-
Dealing with skepticism and criticism
-
Becoming a delegation pro
-
Mastering the art of giving feedback
-
Building visibility, trust, and authority on a team
-
Managing your energy and time to get more done in a day
-
Adapting your leadership or communication style to fit different personalities and situations
This experience is designed for both Hidden Gems and Commanding Trailblazers alike.
For the Hidden Gems—talented leaders who haven’t yet been fully recognized—our focus will be on gaining the visibility you deserve, amplifying your leadership presence, and ensuring your voice is heard in every room.
For Commanding Trailblazers, who bring a bold and powerful presence but sometimes face labels of being ‘too direct’ or 'abrasive,’ we’ll refine your approach to balance authority with empathy—helping you lead with both strength and warmth without losing your impact.

When I think about the LIFE-CHANGING success you pull out of us, I am speechless.
Since working with Kandia I have presented $1.91M in services to prospective customers not to mention the $875K in revenue Kandia helped me pitch during the program.
In addition to increasing my sales potential, Kandia helped me find my professional purpose, better define my role at work, build a Team Training Series called “30/30 Thursdays”.

Kandia's skill and eye for talent are just a few of her finest qualities. She has been able to not only develop an effective brand strategy for my company but also has enhanced my personal brand visibility.
As a result, I 'm a co-host on one of PBS’s longest running cooking shows, America’s Test Kitchen, and my brand, SheChef Inc. is growing exponentially.

Kandia has been my executive coach of 3.5 years. Her invaluable guidance and unwavering support have played a pivotal role in transforming my career, boosting my confidence, and revolutionizing my business processes.
From the very beginning, Kandia displayed a deep understanding of my strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. She helped me identify areas for growth and development, and provided tailored advice directly applicable to my specific needs.
One aspect that truly sets Kandia apart is her ability to challenge me in a constructive and motivating manner. She consistently pushed me beyond my comfort zone, encouraging me to embrace opportunities that I may have initially hesitated to pursue while honoring my need for work/life balance and rest.
Not only did Kandia assist me in developing my individual skills, but she also played a significant role in enhancing my overall business processes. She introduced me to frameworks and techniques that helped automate and maximize my efficiency.
Her ability to actively listen, provide constructive feedback, and offer practical solutions created a safe and trusting environment for open dialogue and growth.

I reached out to Kandia when my voice was barely audible. Now, I am the loudest on those catch-up meetings and I can confidently ask questions about different things and in a composed manner. I wasn't able to do it last year.
-Waithira Kunene — Program/Outreach Specialist,
My department created a brand new managerial opportunity, and I decided to apply for it. I had a very short application time frame, but the scripts Kandia provided helped me to prepare quickly and articulate the value I would bring to the role and I got the job!
I highly recommend this program for anyone who is looking to boost their personal and professional brand.

"Over the years, Kandia has been a constant presence in my life, supporting me in various ways. However, her recent role as my career coach is one that I am particularly proud of. What sets Kandia apart is her ability to create a truly unique experience in all our interactions, while also providing practical guidance that can be immediately applied. She listens attentively to my concerns and tailors her advice to my specific needs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach with Kandia.
Through our career coaching sessions, I have emerged with heightened confidence, a deeper self-awareness, improved communication skills, and a better understanding of how to effectively express my needs in the workplace. I am forever grateful for the connection I made with Kandia all those years ago, and I will continue to be a staunch supporter of everything she does.
Thank you, Kandia Johnson for being an incredible mentor and career coach. I am truly blessed to have you in my corner.
