Hello, my name is Syrenia Johnson! I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, Certified Life Coach, blogger, and public speaker. I am a contributing writer for Twenty Something & Black and Supervision Support. I am a millennial with a passion for physical and mental health and empowering others. I am also an enthusiast of natural hair, fashion, and a lil trap music. I was born and raised in rural Mississippi in a town called Duck Hill. I am currently a Doctor of Social Work student at Walden University with a concentration in clinical expertise. I received her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Texas at Arlington with a concentration in mental health. My Bachelor of Social Work degree and Psychology degree are from the University of Mississippi. I am a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the National Association of Social Workers, the International Association of Certified Coaches, and the National Association of Black Social Workers. Throughout elementary and middle school, I suffered from anxiety as a result of bullying. I found refuge in journaling and recreational sports. In high school, I learned to cope by being involved with community service and cheerleading. In 2013, I officially began blogging on Tumblr. Since then, I have created my own blog as well as become a contributing writer on several platforms. My experiences of growing up in the deep south and coping with anxiety influenced my decision to become a social worker. I want to use my platform to empower others to live their best lives by changing their mindsets to overcome struggles and obstacles. These experiences led me to create my first major project, the Safe Space Guided Mental Health Journal, that is now available on Amazon. My focus is empowering others to live their best lives. I coach individuals in changing their mindsets to think outside of the box. I hope to create a safe space for those who don't quite fit in with the societal norms. Also, I advocate for minorities and create a safe space for individuals who are stigmatized by mental health, marginalization, and disadvantage.

Canada’s first and still only criminal conviction for insider trading ended in tragedy before becoming the subject of the educational-documentary film "Collared" (https://collareddocumentary.com/). Spanning a fifteen year period in the United States and Canada, Joseph Grmovsek and his co-accused illegally purchased and sold stock with inside information in over a hundred separate deals, churning tens of million of dollars for an eventual eight-figure US dollar gain in what is believed to be the most prolonged insider trading case ever uncovered by American and Canadian securities investigators. After being identified, Joseph cooperated with authorities to absolve many innocent professionals inadvertently swept up in his criminal endeavor, admitted guilt and began his 39-month prison sentence that included stays in two notorious maximum security prisons. His partner-in-crime and best friend, however, never made it to sentencing, tragically jumping off a bridge to his death a day before he was scheduled to fly with Joseph to New York to learn his fate. Joseph's dramatic story forms the basis of the documentary film "Collared" and since his release from prison his talks, in person or by Skype, offer an unparalleled look into the world of white-collar crime, the consequences for those participating in it and affected by it, as well as corporate and professional ethics and information protection. His insights are important for those interested in insider trading identification and its prosecution and defense, the protection of corporate secrets, the consequences and reputation damage related to breach, compliance, and "scared straight" ethics training. His audiences primarily includes investment funds and portfolio managers, law schools and law firms, regulatory and professional bodies, and corporations and their staff.

I have a shocking training confession: I’m a bad student. I know what it’s like to stare at a screen and be frustrated by poorly implemented learning programs. By engaging people with the right content, in the right place at the right time, I can get people excited about learning in our distracted world. I’ve always liked sharing knowledge. As a kid, I was the person who read the museum plaque so I could tell my family what I learned. Today, I do the same thing on a larger scale through instructional design and multimedia learning technologies. In short, I unpack topics into easy to understand learning. At Mindset Digital I develop videos and online courses to educate learners on social media and online best practices. When planning each video, course and training session, I like to think about the big picture. This involves: ● unpacking objectives to ensure each training program engages and educates the learner, aligns with organizational goals and provides an appropriate solution. ● designing high-impact visuals to capture the audience's attention ● staying on top of current advances and changes in learning technology to deliver results with optimum effectiveness and efficiency I like to joke that I’m extremely motivated by my own laziness. There’s a kernel of truth to it, though: I love finding new shortcuts so people can work smarter and no harder than a task requires. It’s refreshing when I can take what I’ve learned and help somebody do their job better. And every success story just inspires me to keep pushing further in the quest for more learning and better results. Specialties include: public speaking & workshop facilitation | instructional design | training | learning technology | E-learning | project management | PowerPoint | digital transformation | L&D strategy | community management
