Speaking
The more we as leaders and individuals can shift our mindsets from fear to curiosity, the more success we will have.
My core message is simple:
SPEAKER BIO
Joy is a sought-after leadership coach and personal growth expert who delivers high-energy keynotes and workshops that challenge audiences to create opportunities that are aligned to what they truly want to experience in work and life. Audiences love her practical strategies that they can immediately apply personally and professionally.
Joy earned her BA from Michigan State University and her Certified Professional Coach qualifications from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. She spent the first 20 years of her career quickly climbing the ladder in the tech and consulting industries, while simultaneously battling debilitating cases of Imposter Syndrome and perfectionism. She speaks passionately and from experience about how un-learning these (and other) destructive mental habits can dramatically shift the trajectory of your work and life. Organisations hire Joy because of her implementable strategies that help leaders to gain the clarity and confidence they need in order to perform at their best in all aspects of work and life.
SIGNATURE TALKS
Joy is asked to speak on a number of topics related to personal and professional development, ranging from defining your unique leadership style to creating work/life fulfilment to boosting confidence. You can find fuller summaries of her signature talk tracks below.
TRUST: THE SECRET SUPERPOWER OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS
Trust is a true superpower. It can foster collaboration and inspire confidence. It can spark movements. Trust can change the trajectory of a career, team, or even an entire business.
But here’s the thing - it’s actually the most under-leveraged leadership quality out there - probably because it's so seriously misunderstood. And it’s time it became a more conscious part of the leadership journey.
This talk will help leaders of all levels identify opportunities for trust, harness its power, and ultimately lead with it.
Through storytelling and instruction, Joy guides the audience through principles and practical tools designed to help leaders to tap into trust - in themselves, in others, and in The Process.
PROPEL YOURSELF
For any professional or leader who is ready for that next chapter, craving that progression or growth opportunities. Sometimes that craving exists and we don’t know what exactly will satisfy it. Sometimes we know precisely what we want, but don’t know how to get it. What often comes with either type of uncertainty is anxiety, restlessness, worry and overwhelm. Unfortunately, those emotions typically cause MORE uncertainty and lack of clarity. That’s a vicious cycle right there!
Through storytelling and instruction, Joy shares that there is a whole other, bigger cycle in play. Whether we are seeking, defining, owning or living our opportunities, each and everyone one of us in a phase of The Opportunity Cycle. Joy teaches how to identify where you are in the cycle, and the practical steps and tools you can use in each phase to propel yourself towards the growth and change you are craving.
CRUSHING THE COMPARATIVE NARRATIVE
Comparative thinking is the ultimate confidence-crusher, opportunity-slayer and innovation-killer. This interactive session is for anyone who has a little (or not-so-little!) voice in their head telling them that they are not measuring up to others, or to a standard that they think is 'right'. It’s time to unlearn the Comparative Narrative that we’ve all been sold. To do that, we’ll examine at what makes this mode of thinking so completely flawed and ineffective, and what it’s costing us. From there, we’ll look at some tried-and-tested, active strategies we can start implementing immediately in order to break free from the comparison habit.
All talk tracks are available as 20min keynotes or 60-90min interactive workshops.
Speaking passionately and from experience is the only way Joy knows how to do it!
