Jeff Johnson ... no the OTHER Jeff! (photo of Jeff speaking) — *Jeff Johnson … no, The* **Other** *Jeff!*

Hi, I’m Jeff Johnson – no, The OTHER Jeff Johnson – and this website is all about my writing, speaking and advocacy on behalf of people – like me – with invisible disabilities. Enjoy!

Life happens.

You may have heard that saying voiced in a more, shall we say, colorful manner. But, however you say it, the truth is things don’t always go as planned. Life throws you a curveball. Or, maybe it’s more like life is playing dodgeball … and you’re the target!

You know you’re not alone, but that doesn’t make it any easier. And then there are those people who just seem to enjoy adversity. The more life throws at them, the happier they seem to be. What’s up with that?

Hi, I’m Jeff Johnson and …

I know a thing or two about facing adversity:

Farmers ad parody - "We know a think or two ..." — *They’re not the only ones who know a thing or two …*

As a teenager, I ripped the side of my face off (literally) in a waterslide accident and had to have reconstructive surgery.

When I was 24 years old, I broke my back and was told I would never walk again.

In 2018 – after a decades’ long career as a professional broadcaster – I was diagnosed with viral throat cancer and faced the prospect of losing my voice forever.

Then – after completing my cancer treatment, when I thought I was starting to get used to my “new normal” – I discovered that many of the challenges I’ve faced throughout my life are the result of having an Autism Spectrum Condition commonly called Asperger’s Syndrome.

But what does all of this mean to you?

First, if I’m with you, you’re probably not going to be the unluckiest person in the room. Second, I’ve learned how to laugh at myself … a lot. I’ve also learned a great deal about overcoming adversity that could help you respond to the challenges you are, or will be facing in life.

I call this … Overcomeability ™

Now I spend my time speaking, writing, and producing online content to build understanding and offer encouragement. Everything I create – including my blog, podcast, videos and the other resources – is dedicated to helping you develop your ability to overcome!
