The stories that live in our bodies

Whether spoken or unspoken, our stories live in our bodies. And, women are barraged with constant messaging that there is something *wrong* with our bodies. When we buy into those messages, we cut ourselves off from our voices, our power and our stories. Speaking truth to cut through the lies, Johanna Walker uncovers layers of our collective story to reveal what becomes possible when women reclaim their bodies and their voices. ***** Johanna Walker is the fear-blasting, storytelling maven for coaches, consultants, leaders and change-makers. (also known as a public speaking coach) As a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, she has presented for corporations, non-profits, start-ups and community organizations, helping audiences develop authentic presence as speakers, find the ideas they want to be known for, and craft those ideas into compelling presentations. She's the founder of Women Who Speak, a transformational speaker coaching program for female leaders, and leads The Speaker’s Playground, an ongoing training group for new and seasoned speakers. She is the co-founder and co-host of Boulder’s popular bi-monthly story slam, Truth Be Told, where audience members come to the stage and tell true stories about their lives.
