Adventure
I’m an adventurer and adventure guide. If I’m not adventuring by myself or with family or friends, I’m likely leading my coaching and leadership clients on a guided Epic Adventure–what I call an “Epic.” I lead Epics in some of my favorite places, including Zion National Park, Grand Canyon, my backyard, Wyoming’s Wind River Range, and in other spectacularly beautiful natural destinations.
“Epic Adventure” Programs
I’m more than just an adventure guide. When you sign up for one of my Epic Adventures, you’ll get personal 1:1 coaching calls with me during the months leading up to the adventure that will help inspire and “prime” for an even more out of the adventure. When you sign up for one of my Epics, you’re signing up to be transformed. (I offer programs for women, co-ed groups, leadership teams, couples, and more. I can also provide a customized Epic for you and/or your group.)

In-Person “Epic Intensives”
In addition to my Epic Adventure programs, I offer Epic Intensives, which are generally 2-4 days, in-person, which may or may not include an outdoor activity. I can come to you in your hometown, or we can meet at any destination you’d like. (Note: Zion National Park is an ideal location for an Epic Intensive, particularly in spring or fall, but I’m open to meet anywhere.) During our time together, I’ll lead you on an introspective journey–a journey through the wilderness inside of yourself–that will cause and inspire you to take stock of your life and to imagine any changes you’d like to make.

Bucket List Coaching & Guiding
Do you have something on your bucket list you’d like my help with planning or achieving? Or if someone you know is terminally ill and you’d like some help in making one of their last wishes come true, let me know and let’s see if I can help.
Travel & Trip-Planning Consulting
I’m a traveler and adventurer with a wide range of experience. Due in large part to the work I did while operating my first company, Yellowstone Journal, YellowstonePark.com, and National Park Trips, and the services it provided, I became an expert travel and adventure planner. I’ve also personally traveled and adventured extensively. Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable family road trip to national park wonders in the West, an unforgettable epic adventure that pushes your limits and takes your breath away, or just some ideas and recommendations for a one-of-a-kind vacation or experience, you’ve come to the right place.
I can help you, or you and your family or group of friends plan a vacation, adventure, or experience you’ll never forget. (If you’re interested, check out my travel and adventure blog, Have Media Will Travel, where you’ll find hundreds of articles I’ve written about various vacations and adventures I’ve experienced over the last several years.)

–Alan Wexler, Senior Vice President of Innovation & Growth, General Motors, Detroit, MI
-
“Sometimes, in our lives, we meet exceptional people. People who inspire us, challenge us, and ask questions that force us to grow, and whose voices become a part of our inner monologue and continue to challenge and cheer us when they’re not physically present. Shelli Johnson is one of those people. I was given the opportunity to pull back the curtain on my life, and I’m not turning back.”
–Mariah Cunnick, Director of Annual Giving, Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago, IL

“There are maybe a handful of people in your life that you look at and go, ‘Wow, where would I be if we had never met?’ For me, Shelli is one of those people. It’s hard to place a value on what Shelli provides. She is truly gifted in so many ways. Shelli is a fantastic listener and it feels like she’s personally invested in my success. I’ve pushed my mind and body beyond my preconceived limits and come out on the other side with an unshakeable confidence, awareness, and wakefulness.”
