What People Say About Dr. Jim Johnson

Jim is an incredible teacher. He has the ability to inspire his students to do things beyond what the students realize they can do. He is also a person that is not afraid to explore new technologies. I have worked with him on a number of occasions and his insight into problems and issues is superb.

On a personal level, Jim has been a great friend and support. He has helped me and my management staff become better. He has helped us understand our strengths and how to use them as we relate to each other. Without his help, I could not have accomplished as much as I did at Point Loma.

Sam Young, CIO / Financial Planner
Writing a recommendation for Dr. Jim is a privilege. I have known Dr. Jim for a number of years. I have sought out his counsel and advice as I respect his wisdom, genuine concern and insight. Aside from amazing educational credentials, Jim also brings an amazing attitude to each relationship whether personal or business. I give Dr. Jim my highest and best recommendation.
Archie Yates, Security Expert / Management Executive

His commitment to his faith and ethics allows Dr. Johnson to coach, teach and train with conviction and clarity. My team has greatly benefited from the work we have done with Dr. Jim Johnson.
Dejon Davis, Consultant / Coach / Speaker / Educator

I have worked around Dr. Jim Johnson for 15 years. I have observed him to be dedicated to helping people to get better at whatever they are doing. He has the knowledge and is very skilled at reaching out to people to engage them in the process of improvement.

Without reservation I commend him to those who seek coaching and help.

Bruce Schooling, Professor of Management & Leadership, Point Loma Nazarene University
As a former CIO at Point Loma Nazarene University, I had the distinct privilege to work with Dr. Jim Johnson on a variety of projects. He is a man of great character, vision, and is absolutely passionate about his students’ success. Dr. Johnson’s gifts extend well beyond his ability to communicate and motivate his students and peers. His ability to care for each and every individual he comes in contact with, and to help them see their own abilities and potential, is his gift. I am honored to have worked with Jim and to call him my friend.
Robert Joslin, VP/CIO, Birdi & Associates, Inc.
Jim has a very unique ability in taking a persons top 5 strengths and helping them make sense of them. His observations and comments are very uplifting and Spirit led. Jim is an "out of the box" thinker and has helped our church find our vision and passion in our community.
Jeff Fillis, Pastor, Turning Leaf Community Church
It is with great pleasure that I am writing to recommend Dr. Jim Johnson as an educational consultant, mentor, coach and advocate. I have over 25 years of experience working with families with medical, academic and/or psychological disorders and stressors. Presently I am a clinical psychologist in a private practice focusing on the care and treatment of children and adults with learning disabilities, transitional issues, mood disorders as well as family systems issues. I hope my perspective will be helpful to you as you evaluate this exceptional professional in the field of educational services and advocacy.
