The workshop I attended on ” How to Talk To Men” was suprisingly fun, but also effective in bringing me new ways to connect with men
I am married and have 4 sons as well as work as a therapist. After attending this workshop I had concrete tools that I use in my practice as well as my personal life.
Maria is extremely intuned with identifying underlying messages that I did not realize I was sending. In a gentle way she was able to give me new ways of approaching men that are clear and actually brings me a new level of confidence that I did not have before.
I highly recommend this workshop! You will not be dissappointed.

Thank you so much for your words. They mean everything to me. I really appreciate you and also the opportunity to be on your team. I really look to you as a mentor. I learn so much from you about coaching, sales, team, tracking the energy, having an open heart, & even seeing your partnership with RJ. And especially speaking out what you see & what is. That is one of your huge talents. I have grown so much from working with you in the last weeks. My progress has really accelerated because of the powerful coach you are. There is not a time that I do not learn something from you and put it into immediate use especially with my own clients. I have started to play the coach role with everyone. I have even learned about and been practicing letting go of the emotions that pass through me. And I have started to see where they are coming from and so forth not owning them or identifying with them so much. It is a work in progress of course but that is even so powerful to begin something like that. Martin says we are not our emotions and it is true. And now I get it why Martin says that if you want something then you don’t get it. Well, it is because when you are on a team, it is not about “you” it is about the team and what the team needs. So when the individual is focused on themselves their wants come up, which at times do not serve the group so then, that is where “you” don’t get it. etc. it is the perfect training for training a team. I see it so clearly now. Just like tonight. I get hit with a HUGE Rush of anger and I see where it comes from then let it go through my system without letting it stick. And without vomitting it on anyone. See it and let it go sort of thing. And in that I switch it.

Maria, I just wanted to thank you for being in my life and helping me grow. Because of your insights, encouragements, and invitations I have been able to re-disover some happiness and joy.
I have become much more confident. I am able to stand my ground regarding what I believe in and things that are important to me.
I have actually found some things which are fun, and I am able to think on those things and persue those things when I can.
A key ingredient for me in this life is having unwavering confidence in myself and abilities. The events I have been to and the friends I have made have helped me with confidence and reclaiming my inner light. The positive interaction of the people make me feel more confident.
More often I state my passions and interests aloud, I say things I want to do, and I talk about interests with confidence. This is all a big deal. So all this is good.
Having fun is also good. I have never had actual fun, real fun, like I have had when I am with this group. Not even as a child. And only rarely as an adult. This group has brought me various pleasures which I have not been able to find anywhere else.
I now have goals of having fun with these people as much as possible. I want to work with these types of people as the way to support myself. I do not like to be restricted, and the people at this event encourage me to be more free, in the ways I enjoy.
I want to acknowledge you for all the advice and encouragement you have given me. You friended me from the first time we met. Your encouragement has helped me stand strong against the negative forces which pull me down. You have been an important person in my life. I speak from the heart.

I LOVEd the Business Incubator class that was taught by R.J. and Maria Johnson in early 2011.
What I cherish the most about it are:
1. the business and social tools taught from Sage University
2. the camaraderie, friendship and family-spirit formed among the classmates and me
3. the comedy skit we played at Mangia as the celebration at the end of class
4. my 1st seed project to do ‘crapbooking’ w/ my closest friends and neighbors
5. the talented stage person that my coach Maria saw in me and encouraged: an entertainer as singer, comedienne and poet.
Thank you R.J. and Maria for the priceless experience,

Thanks again, Maria, for a magical weekend that is going to help my life become even more magical! : )
The workshop helped me learn new tools to transform myself from being an angry, righteous person to become a more playful, loving person. The concept is easy to understand, but the role-play exercise really helped to sink in the theory into my being. I totally GOT it! My relationship with my husband was good, but after the workshop, it’s GREAT.
Thanks so much, Maria, for saying your truth, sharing your wisdom, opening your heart, and space to allow magic take place!
I didn’t think I needed this workshop because I thought I had good relationship with men, which I did, I think… The truth is, I didn’t know I can have even BETTER relationship with men, or people, or that matter, simply by learning some new tools.
I sincerely recommend this workshop to anyone who is open and ready to make a shift to better their relationship with, not just men, but anyone in their lives.
With much love and appreciation,

After taking your How To Talk To Men weekend training, I am completely different person, 360 degree changed. I did not only learned how to talk to men, I learned how to talk to people. I learned the 10 Transformers and played with them. Each one of those transformers are very very powerful. I think your service was priceless. I was such a lucky person to be part of your training. I gained so much in so little time, and would have never known in a lifetime on my own, if I never met you.
I love you, Maria!

Maria is an incredible coach. She listens, gives honest feedback and helps you turn on the lights for yourself, as long as you are willing and in a place to listen. The How To Talk To Men seminar changed my life for the better and started the ball rolling for me. I will continue to do coaching with Maria because her heart is in the right place and she helps move money.

Thank you for the wonderful weekend. I really, really really love what I learned and I am practicing as I go along. Especially the part “we have to be in absolute pleasure” as a woman. That really stuck with me and I feel so much better. I will definitely talk to my friends about your class and tell them that they need to sign up!

Thank you very much for a very inspiring and fun weekend. I would like to thank you for your inspiration and dedication in the How To Talk To Men course. As a consequence, things are going really well with my job, and today, I have heard that 4 of my pupils have gained high results in their exams into their new schools; plus I have been asked to lecture as a guest speaker at a University! I am over the moon.Your training is personable with high integrity and you are an expert in your topic of communication.

Every single coaching you give me is awesome. I feel less resistance against the world. I don’t have to fight anymore. Thank you for being you Maria. Thank you for being true to your calling of coaching people and making them grow. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I feel my heart open like never before!
No other class has put me into action like the 9-week business class the Soul Of Entrepreneurship. In this class I experienced how small projects can become our life’s biggest passion. I learned that I need to build a committed team with the same interests and always course correct in a fun loving way. RJ and Maria showed us how to start and maintain seed projects from the very launch to the managing of money. They taught us to always make it a game to reach the business’ goals. Spontaneous things happened during the class and we even made a skit on how to make me pregnant!!! He he. It was fun!!

I met Maria in 2008 when I was at a point of change. She was the right person to bring my life in the right direction in private and business life. With her “kick” I could trust myself better and learned to do the steps to become what makes me really happy! Thank you Maria!

How To Talk To Men was fun, insightful, and a valuable learning experience. Maria was able to help me clearly see how my communication style was ineffective and hurtful to my husband AND then she taught me how to communicate with him in much, much better way. The results have been fantastic! Thank you, Maria!

Went to a free coaching session for free for the first time and it was AMAZING not only for myself, but for others that they enjoyed it too as much as I did. This coach Maria Johnson not only helped me realize how much life is better when you stop worrying about the little shit and realize what the main picture of what life is really about internally with myself!!! What I saw couldn’t be put it words and it was so magical that everyone that came was welcoming, friendly and in a good place!

Ich möchte mich für mein erstes Intensiv-Sales-Training bei Euch allen bedanken.
Danke dass Ihr mich alle dabei so tatkräftig unterstützt habt – Danke!
Ich freue mich darüber wieder gesehen zu haben, was energetisch in 2 Tagen mit einer Gruppe passieren kann und was dann alles gutes aus den Menschen heraus kommen kann.
Ich wünsche Euch allen den Level vom Wochenende so lange wie möglich zu halten – dass die Gedanken clean bleiben und kein „Poop in the soup“ Euch runter holt.
Und bei den Veranstalterinnen mag ich mich bedanken J besonders bei Maria – Du bist ein Profi!
Ich hab für mein Projekt diese Woche eine extra Webpage in Angriff genommen – und sitze die ganze Zeit vor meinem Kalender J

Hallo Ihr Lieben,
Es war echt klasse, so eine super Energie, die wir haben alle gemeinsam erzeugt haben.(ich bin nach Hause geschwebt).
Vielen Dank Maria für Deine Führung und das klasse Feedback von euch allen.
Mir sind da schon ein paar Kronleuchter aufgegangen und ich konnte gleich am Montag bei der Modenschau das Gelernte super nutzen.
(2 neue Kunden für Coaching und mehrere Leute die auf meine Angebote sehr neugierig sind)
Ich habe das gemacht was Ihr gesehen hattet …ich war lustig, wild und bunt einfach ein bisschen crazy … einfach klasse wie einfach es doch sein kann.
Voller Tatendrang freue ich mich auf alles was kommt.
Und besonders freue ich mich auf die Kooperationen mit euch die mich dann wieder nach Köln führen werden.
Wir waren einfach eine super Truppe, Danke!

Liebe Maria,
herzlichen Dank auch von meiner Seite an Euch alle! Ich habe in den beiden
Tagen viel gelernt – nicht nur über die kleinen, aber entscheidenden Fehler.
Zusammen mit Euch konnte ich wieder Energie tanken und bin mit viel Freude
und Leichtigkeit in die neue Woche gestartet.
Vielen Dank auch Dir persönlich Maria für dieses wunderbare Seminar! Du hast auf eine so unauffällige Art die Fäden in der Hand gehalten und jedem einzelnen von uns das gegeben, was er/sie gebraucht hat. Diese Gabe ist etwas ganz besonderes. Erhalte sie Dir, dann wird Deinem Erfolg nichts im Wege stehen.
Von meinen Erfolgen berichte ich Dir auch gerne: Gestern war ich auf einer großen Veranstaltung in Aachen, wo alles was Rang und Namen in meiner Branche hat versammelt war. Es gab erst einen ganzen Tag mit Vorträgen und Kaffeepausen und dann eine Feier bis tief in die Nacht. Es ist mir tatsächlich gelungen, den wirtschaftlichen Druck zu vergessen, und ich habe den ganzen Tag „gespielt“, so wie es mir am meisten liegt. Und wenn ich den anderen „an der Angel“ hatte, bin ich konkret geworden, was ich mir sonst nie getraut habe. Wenn nur die Hälfte der Absichtserklärungen zu Projekten wird, sind unsere Sorgen für die nahe Zukunft vergessen. Darüber hinaus hat sich etwas ergeben, was auch das Problem mit der ferneren Zukunft lösen könnte – das ist für mich das unglaublichste Ergebnis dieses Tages!
Weiter so …
