Tory JohnsonSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

In 1999, after being let go from an NBC News job she thought she'd have forever, Tory started Women For Hire in the corner of her bedroom with twin babies crawling at her feet.

She only had a dial-up Internet connection and an AOL email address, and her only aim was to earn enough money to feed her family and assist some other women in finding employment. Of course, she has accomplished much more in the past 14 years. Tory lacked trust money, a college degree, celebrity endorsements, and a strong network.

She just had two things to work with at first: a glimmer of an idea and a lot of determination to make it happen.

While it would seem that she struck it fortunate, the fact is that she was able to become the owner of two successful businesses while many others were suffering significantly due to the recession through a series of persistent acts. A trend toward women wanting to create their own businesses and be their own bosses started to emerge around 2010.

Tory decided to create hands-on programs to assist existing and aspiring women entrepreneurs convert their passion into a profit after receiving what felt like the millionth email asking for assistance in establishing a business. As a result, Spark & Hustle was created.

Tory is also the author of "The Shift: How I Finally Lost Weight & Discovered a Happier Life," which launched as a No. 1 New York Times bestseller. Today, Spark & Hustle offers a range of programs to thousands of women.

She lives in New York with her husband, and their adolescent twins, and details her year-long battle to lose 62 pounds. More than 100,000 people have heard from him as a keynote speaker at live events in the past year, and he has more than 100,000 fans, friends, and followers on social media sites.

She is the perfect spokesperson to inspire your audience to make their own significant changes in any aspect of their lives thanks to her special career development, recruiting services, and weight loss experiences.
