I > ME
Your mind moves so fast, literally with rapid fire neuro-synapses. You have many ideas, connect a wide variety of concepts, and make leaps in understanding. Your connections may be accurate or inaccurate. Your brain definitely works differently. You have difficulty relating to others.
You have experienced accomplishments and achievements, as well as failures and times of not meeting your own standards. You have much you want to do and much left undone. You have stood out and succeeded, as well as been hidden away and dumbed down. All of this is part of the everyday life of the multi-talented.
Gifted, Talented, Exceptional, Genius – these are words that may have been used to describe you and your abilities. On hearing these descriptors, at times you feel confident and even elated; at other times you feel utterly incompetent and you want to disappear.
What are your options beyond the frustrations, confusion, disappointments and pain to a reality of expression and experience of your genius?
Dr. Johnston takes you through her own Journey that involves achievements and failures, passion and depression, confusion and clarity. Using her experiences as a reference point, she provides you with tools to map your own journey and express yourself. She creates an environment for you to lead and share with your community. Come explore the mystery and the magic of your unique gifts with Dr. Johnston.
