Mahlena-Rae Johnson

The Only Presentation Coach for Introverted CEOs
Mr. J Media

Hello, bonjour.

Speaker, comedian, and 6-time author Mahlena-Rae Johnson (that's me 💁🏾) is Professor X for Introverted CEOs with Stage Fright.

Yes, the leader of the X-Men.

She has consistently taught leaders like you how to hone your superpower of public speaking for over 2 decades.

The quirky CEO of her company Mahlena Speaks, Mahlena honed her relationship-building skills while earning her MBA in Marketing at the University of Southern California. She later translated her quiet savvy for connecting with like-minded individuals into expanding her media empire from the US to Canada, where she taught graduate level classes in Social Media at Seneca Polytechnic. On her LinkedIn Live show Conquer Performance Pressure with Mahlena-Rae Johnson, Mahlena teaches her audience of competent leaders how to tell your story, with powerful persuasion.

A Canadienne of Américaine descent, Mahlena is living her best life in the suburbs of Toronto. This megalomaniacal INTJ has been featured on BusinessBecause, CBC Kids, The Global Chatter Podcast, Murder, We Spoke: a Murder, She Wrote podcast, The New to Canada Podcast, and more. She has a passion for writing and speaking about professional development and executive education topics including personal branding, multimedia storytelling, building a new network for immigrants and expats, and writing a ten-second elevator pitch.

Mahlena also loves choco chip cookies, Murder, She Wrote, and BTS, in that order. 🍪 🕵🏼 💜
