Kandia Johnson (@KandiaJohnson) - How To Become A Paid Speaker

Kandia Johnson transformed her life from working as a corporate communications and learning consultant for a Fortune 500 company to founder of Kandid Conversations LLC, a communications consulting and training company.

Leveraging her 15 years of experience working with senior leaders and employees from companies such as Deloitte Consulting, Johnson & Johnson, and The U.S. Navy, Kandia started her own company to teach executives and entrepreneurs how to stand out, get noticed and become influential leaders in their fields. Through a series of leadership development workshops and one-to-one coaching, she’s helped her clients land executive positions, launch global awareness campaigns, land TV segments, and speaking engagements.

With an unwavering commitment to help women get the spotlight they deserve, she’s interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives and published articles for Black Enterprise Magazine, Diversity Woman Magazine, and more.

Kandia graduated from Delaware State University with a BA in Public Relations and earned an MS in Secondary Education from Old Dominion University.
