About Larry Johnson
While on a bicycling vacation in 2003, Larry Johnson's wife, CJ, was
involved in an accident that resulted in an eight week coma and a seven
month vegetative state. Going from intensive care to skilled nursing to
home health care, the Johnsons have experienced firsthand what it's like
to be health care customers. In his dynamic, humorous and heart-felt
presentations, Larry shows caregivers the tremendous impact their care
giving relationships have on patients and family members, and inspires
them to excel in this highly-valued field.

For twenty years, Johnson has helped organizations build more productive
and profitable working cultures through the development of strong
leaders and dedicated employees. He is the co-author of "Absolute
Honesty: Building a Corporate Culture that Values Straight Talk and
