Vicki Johnson has been coaching leaders of families and organizations since 2015. A devoted life-long learner and teacher, she delights in the way the coaching process unleashes deeply creative and authentic transformation for all those who see themselves as leaders. With coaching, she has found a natural fit and dynamic next step for her long-time passion of partnering with individuals and groups for discernment, decision, and action.

During the COVID pandemic, and in response to her special interest in holistic wellbeing of body, emotions, spirit, and relationships, Vicki created and launched a six-session group coaching course as an invitation for gifted leaders to flourish. To date, more than 200 participants have completed The Art of WellBeing.

The magic of coaching is the way in which small steps,
chosen over time, create a transformative trajectory.
A coaching relationship can be a powerful tool to optimize
personal wellbeing & support effectiveness in leadership.
