In recognition of this historic achievement, Bonnie was quoted on millions of Starbucks coffee cups and was honored with her portrait in the Main Hall of Trinity College at Oxford as a distinguished alumna.

In addition to her success as a Paralympic athlete, she is a bestselling author of seven books, a highly acclaimed keynote speaker and leadership expert for the Fortune 500, a television and radio personality, and an experienced conference facilitator.

Upon her return to the United States, Bonnie served in the White House as a Director of the National Economic Council during the Clinton administration. In 2015, St. John was inducted into the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Hall of Fame.

As CEO of the Blue Circle Leadership Institute, Bonnie leads several international virtual leadership programs including Transformational Leadership – designed to address the unique challenges of multicultural women in the workplace. Bonnie’s latest work, MICRO-RESILIENCE: Minor Shifts for Major Boosts in Focus, Drive, & Energy, outlines a quick, easy, and immediately effective program of tools and techniques for a competitive edge in today’s dynamic world of changes and challenges.
