Today's powerful stories podcast guest is Lou Johnson, a publishing industry icon who believes in the power of storytelling, and most importantly, the power of connection. Lou believes in the power of sharing stories to build empathy, understanding and connection.

Human beings are wired for story, which is why she is passionate about bringing visibility to the unique stories of individuals and organisations to bring clarity to their vision and purpose. As a publisher and a leader she is particularly interested in breaking down taboos and inclusion. She is able to identify, enhance and position the narrative of a book, a brand or a business to connect with its audience powerfully and authentically. 

We met over a coffee date and built a strong bond and I have had the pleasure of watching Lou thrive under unexpected circumstances in 2022. She is a woman who is powerfully connected to purpose and lives her life anchored to her truth.

Topics discussed:

1) Navigating change - after landing her dream job with one of the fastest growing publishing businesses in the world Lou described it as a perfect match ticking all the boxes on her manifestation list. She was then retrenched alongside half the company. 

2) How to use your leadership skills in a positive way to seek the answers to your next career journey by connecting to others through vunerablity.

3) How to view a challenge as a gift by embracing the art of surrender and allowing yourself to become present to the power of a moment in time.

4) Using the power of LinkedIn to take others on your journey of self discovery. What did it teach Lou about the power of connection and what doors of opportunity opened?

5) Strategic advice for leaders in high-profile roles who may be faced with the unexpected
