Speaking

Entrepreneurship

My personal story and success as an entrepreneur inspires other women who may be asking themselves, “What’s next?” I remind audiences it is never too late to advance in your career, start a new business or write a new chapter. Whether considering a lateral professional move or beginning from scratch, I give aspiring change-makers the tools and mindset to be their own boss, whether it be of their own company or, more importantly, their own lives.

From finding success in corporate America to starting my own business, I share ways to pivot your personal and professional focus to create a winning strategy.

Entrepreneurship speaking topics include:

  • Pivot 2 Win: Facing Fear, Embracing Change, Writing Your Success Story
  • Making an Impact: Philanthropy’s Role in Thriving Communities
  • Women in Leadership

Elder Care

As the owner and managing director of Visiting Angels Cleveland since 2002, I direct the organization’s mission to help seniors maintain their independence within their homes, while families can rest assured their loved ones are under the best of care. From my experience caring for my own aging parents, I have a deep appreciation for the need for quality care and understand the importance of holding elder care providers to the highest standards.

My years of experience as both a service provider and parent caretaker give me a well-rounded perspective of the challenges and benefits of elder care.

Elder Care speaking topics include:

  • Role Reversal: What to Expect When You Become the Parent
  • The Open-Faced Sandwich: Caregivers without Kids (or Spouses)
  • Winning Strategies for Elder Care Services

Testimonials

“Listening to Connie speak on her topic “It’s Time to Pivot! Knowing When to Make Your Next Move” at the recent “Celebrating Women” conference was a powerful experience.  Connie’s eloquent storytelling illustrated the importance of resilience and not being afraid to take a risk when faced with life challenges. By sharing her insights as a female leader, Connie’s experience helped me understand the importance of knowing that sometimes challenges can also bring on significant opportunities – and how to allow myself to be open to pivoting and making a change.”

“Connie was able to captivate the audience and engage all different women to instantly relate to their own stories and begin to share. It takes a certain presence in a room to be able to engage an audience like Connie was able to that day. Her theme of pivoting with a basketball toss forced the audience to interact with her and each other in a purely positive way. I have attended several seminars and had not seen this tactic successful done like this before this break out session. I would highly recommend having Constance Hill-Johnson speak at your next event to experience her positive attitude, hear her compelling story and enjoy her inspiring message.”
