Heather Johnson

Heather Johnson is a tech teacher and trainer who focuses on helping people become comfortable and confident online. Until six years ago, she was not a techie. In fact, she avoided tech and didn’t see how it would add value to her life or business. Through the influence of a mentor, she began to learn about coding websites and that led to her learning more and more about the tech world. She gained confidence and skills and started her own business designing websites. Over a year and a half of working with customers, she learned that her passion lay in translating the Geek to English. Now she focuses on teaching people, individually and in groups, to help them to gain confidence and understanding in using tech. Rather than talking at people, she walks people through the process of learning WordPress, social media, programs or apps so they can have the thrill of conquering something new with a supportive mentor standing by to reassure. Tech is a tool: it should not control how you run a business or interact with people. Once people learn how to make tech work for them rather than being a slave to their fears, uncertainty or assumptions of what they “have” to do, they become free. She takes tech from complex to personal.
