Me and My Business



·        ME & MY BUSINESS

I am Dr Barbara Johnson – The People Developer - of Leadership Dimensions and Wellness Dimensions

Imagine the excitement!  I ran down the passage to the phone and said “I don’t care how much it is, how long it takes, or where it is – count me in on the next class”.

It was any ordinary weekday afternoon. I was researching people behaviour.  I came across a quote in the back of one of my old Psycho textbooks. “Better People, not in spite of, but because of the very circumstances people found themselves in” Viktor Frankl’s work.  Life traumas healed in finding unique Meaning and Purpose of life.

I was the second class to go through the programme – still very much in its infancy actually.  What was marketed as part-time 3-year programme - was in fact full-time 5+1/2years – I guess, when it is yours to do, somehow you will find a way to get to do it. 

Behind this, is my passion for children.  I figured, that in order for me to best champion children, I would need to assist their parents.  The best way to get to their parents was through corporate training and assistance programmes.

I offer business one on one Trauma, Transformation and Transcendence. 
I hold the broken lives of individuals – the moms and dads of the children – and together we find ways to find meaning in their trauma. 
TrueSelf brings about Transformation. 
Transformation allows for moving towards others or cause – Transcendence.
 
Mary had witnessed her mother’s car accident and ultimate death – she had been caught under the wheels of the car.
Mary could not let go of the image, feelings nor the guilt. 
In her trauma, her family life was miserable. 
Her work life was dysfunctional.  Her department had become depressed.

Within 5 sessions, Mary restored herself to being an efficient mother and wife -
On the employee side, she became potential for promotion – Transformation

Mary now works with people within her organization to find counselling/life coaching – Transcendence.

I see my future being more involved at a corporate level, assisting individuals to reach greater levels of potential in their lives – in that way, our children will have a better chance of living into their potentials. 

I am Barbara Johnson – How may I assist your clients?
