Personal Details

Bio

Michele Irby Johnson is a retired, disabled Veteran who is an Energetic Motivational and Transformational Speaker and Trainer as well as a Certified Life Coach who is a much sought after voice who serves the Abused, Women, Non-Profits, Family and Education, Veterans, organizations, and Faith-Based communities through her unique style that reaches deep into the hearts and lives of those longing for transformation, elevation, inspiration, and empowerment. Michele has a great love for seeing people’s lives changed. Through speaking, training, coaching, and mentoring, she gets joy in developing and elevating people to a place of greatness, seeing them reach their goals, and helping them to see their tomorrow through the lens of who they were called to be in this world.

Michele’s gift as a transformation architect has afforded her the opportunity to serve surrounding regions through speaking, preaching, retreats, conferences, and teaching workshops and seminars on Domestic Violence to such groups as educators, medical personnel, clergy, women's ministries, and youth alike. Her capacity has allowed her travel and serve in such areas as Maryland, Washington, DC, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Guam, Southwest Asia, and Africa.

As a survivor of Domestic Violence and an advocate against Domestic Violence, Michele has penned her first literary work entitled "Love's TKO: A Testimony of Abuse, Victory and Healing," which shares her experiences as a victim of a love gone bad through domestic violence. To continue her love for writing and reaching others through this gift, she has penned her second literary work entitled "Grace For Your Journey: Sermons of Survival in the Wilderness." She has several other literary works in progress that she believes will prove beneficial to reader from personal, emotional, and spiritual perspectives.

Michele holds five degrees: Master of Arts in Counseling (Crisis Response and Trauma); Master of Arts in Human Resource Development; a Bachelor of Science in the field of Human Resource Management; as well as two Associates Degrees from the Community College of the Air Force: One in Education and Training and the other in Social Services. She retired from the USAF after 26 years of combined dedicated military service with the 113th DC Air National Guard at Andrews Air Force Base. Michele is affiliated with Veterans-N-Transition, Transformation Academy, Black Speakers Network, and Elevation Entourage to name a few.
