Today, we’d like to introduce you to David Johnson. David was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Khari Sekou I.
DAVID JOHNSON was born in the Bronx, New York, but he never felt like he fit in or had his own identify. His mother died when he was ten and his older brother died when he was fifteen. This was the point that David realized his purpose in life was to help people find the brighter side in life and to help guide them toward a better relationship with themselves and with others. David received his master’s degree in counseling and then his certification for professional coaching to learn how to connect with people to the best of his ability. After years of experience and trial and error, David now collaborates with clients to ensure that they become their best selves, not only for the people around them, but also for themselves.
Let’s talk about your work and career – what else should we know?
To put it plainly, I am a person who has experienced a variety of relationships in my life. I believe it is a 60/40 percentage of bad relationships to good relationships I have witnessed in my almost 30 years on this Earth. The great part is that these experiences have given me a unique perspective on what a healthy relationship feels like, as well as how to be the best person possible in ALL of them. When we think of relationships, we have a tendency to only think in terms of intimate relationships. However, there are many types of relationships in life; including those we acknowledge and fail to appreciate. Relationships with your friends, family, coworkers and how to build relationships with people you meet for the first time. The relationship many do not choose to work on and we do not place value in, is the relationship with ourselves. When we know what our passions are, it is still scary to act on them. Even for me. I must say hi, I am a relationship coach!!! It’s scary to act on our passions because there are so many unknowns and no guarantees. The only thing we can do is hope we made the right decision. For this reason, many of us refuse to get out of our comfort zones. We like to be sure of what will happen next. Yet, that is not guaranteed either. However, thinking we have that power helps. We do have the power to speak things into existence (even though it may not be exactly how we would like it). As long as your passion is pure and the ends justify the means, then go for it! I am a relationship coach that uses the power of self-love to help working men and women create positive relationships. As a relationship coach, I know people who act like they know what love is, people who feel love is transactional, people who do not know what it is to be loved, people who can not describe how they want to be loved, and people who feel like they do not deserve love. I have worked with people who have hurt others, people who have been hurt by others, people who want to hurt others, and people who are tired of hurting. All of these experiences are unique and the emotions they create are valid, but these emotions may not be the best for you. That is why self love is important.
Khari Sekou and Warrior Garden Martial Arts & Fitness have been great to us and I know you’ve got a great relationship with them as well. Maybe you can tell our audience a bit about Khari Sekou and Warrior Garden/SWAM Atlanta South Martial Arts & Fitness and your experience with them.
I met Professor Khari over two years ago from my cousin that knew him from the real estate world. I learned that Professor Khari was martial arts elite expert and I was interested in his teachings.
As a child I was always interested in marital arts and this was my opportunity to learn. Of course, if it was not meant to be be then I would walk away.
Professor Khari not only opened his home, but also a pathway to help me learn to create better version of myself. He teaches not only survival skills, but all lifestyle skills. He is also a chef and vegan so he has definitely taught me how to eat better as well.
Getting to know him for two plus years now has been a blessing. Not only have I loss physical weight, but I also have gain insight of being a more disciplined, consistent and purposeful man.
His guidance is like no other and I am forever grateful to be a part of Warrior Garden/SWAM Atlanta South, his marital arts combat and fitness company. Finally, he always says “it is better to a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war” which speaks volumes. Meaning be prepared while in peace than be unprepared when there is war.
