"Joy provided me with a very well organized approach to identifying my objectives and goals. Her ability to keep me focused and accountable provided a tremendous resource for me."
"Throughout a six-month period, we accomplished my stated goals. Specifically, she assisted me with determining the necessary core behaviors for that extra '2 millimeters' of success.
As a result, my personal fitness, spiritual fitness, and professional success are on track. I would recommend this program, and more specifically, Joy to any person desirous of high performing success!"
[A year and a half later...] "I wanted to share a quick update with you. Our new bank is ready to open on October 27th. We successfully raised $22 million of capital in 5 months (April-September) in arguably one of the most difficult times in many years. We are very proud of that accomplishment. I hope you are doing well and appreciate all of your guidance and support in the past."
John Lewis, Chairman & CEO Verity Capital Group, Georgia www.veritybank.net
"How much and in what ways is my life improving or being impacted with my coach? I would have to say that each and every area and in many ways."
"For example, since I started coaching over 2 years ago...
Finances: I owed over $125K in debt, today it is half that amount and I have paid off all of my credit cards. I have saved more than $6K over the last six months.
Business: My Agel business is producing close to $10K a month and I am positioned to become a Diamond Director by midyear.
Family: I had the trip of my life in January when I took my parents and my son to Maui for a week, just to have quality time with them. In addition, my son and I will go skiing during Easter week.
Personal: Right now I am on a crusade to weigh 190lbs by March 31st. I am currently at 210lbs, and am working out a minimum of 3 times per week in the gym.
Trainer/coach: I was leading anywhere between 40 to 30 trainings a year when my coaching sessions began, today I am choosing to train somewhere between 14 to 18 and focusing more on my Agel Business.
Life in general: I would say that my coaching relationship with Joy is one of deep trust, openness, willingness to listen, and one that is integral in my lifestyle today."
Jorge Melendez International Trainer and Coach San Juan, Puerto Rico
"Before beginning my coaching journey with Joy, I truly believed that “coaching” was the quick fix to all of my life’s problems."
"Why was I broke? Because I didn’t have a coach. Why was my life erratic? Because I didn’t have a coach. Why was my job not making me happy? It was simple -- in no part was my situation due to my own participation, or lack there of, it was only because I didn’t have a coach. My goal was simple – call Joy a few times a month and watch the miracles unfold. That was it; no effort on my part beyond the call with the exception of maybe a few minutes of visualization and I would go from a poor, confused grad student to sipping champagne on a yacht in no time!
Fortunately for me, Joy put me in my place. The work was challenging, the introspection was deep and the accountability was always there. Joy used the perfect blend of motivation and tough love to get ME to focus on my own life – both the internal and external aspects of it.
The transformations did not happen over night, but they did happen. In the span of 3 years I finished my graduate program passing all of my licensing tests the first time around (they have a 40% pass rate), moved to the city of my dreams and launched two businesses that fulfill me to no end! For the first time in 34 years, my life is congruent. My work life fulfills me as much as my life outside of work, I am in better shape than my collegiate athletic days and am on the cusp of making more money than I ever have before - but most importantly I wake up every morning inspired. Before beginning my coaching with Joy I had read countless testimonials of people who said that very same thing and thought that A) they were making it up for marketing purposes, or B) that they were simply lucky. I now know that the combination of a solid plan, the right internal framework and a lot of hard work is a far more likely answer.
Thank you Joy, for all of your guidance, all of your support and for the work that you do. I can say with certainty that I would not be where I am today without you."

"After working with Joy I have:
1. Increased anesthesia revenue by approximately $50,000.
2. Wrote and implemented a detailed business and marketing plan.
3. Made smarter real estate investments and hired a more qualified property manager.”
"Over two and a half years ago I started my anesthesia business. I did not have much direction in how to proceed with my business. I was randomly choosing what needed to be done without any direction or organization. I had goals but not any clear path on how to achieve those goals. Listed above are some of the measurable successes I have had in my business. Immeasurable successes are:
- How Joy helped me to push past my ‘fears’ when starting my business.
- Holding me accountable each week by taking small steps towards my life’s vision.
- Helping to clarify what works in my business and what does not.
Helping me to enjoy the process of building:
- A business
- Relationships with my family and the people I come in contact with through my business.
- Spirituality
- Wealth
- Helping others.
Since working with Joy, I am even more:
- Happy
- Clear in my life’s vision for myself
- Enjoying my relationship with my wife and children
- Patient
- Managing my anger
- Transforming my anger into resourcefulness
I highly recommend a coach and if you are fortunate enough to have Joy, she will help transform your life!"

So many people have dreams and aspirations but such a small percentage ever achieve them. I'm sure you're sitting there right now debating whether you really need a personal coach. Let me save you the time and tell you that YES YOU DO! Each one of us has so much untapped potential we need to learn to get in touch with and actually use.
Before getting in touch with Joy I could have given you a list of 100 excuses why I was OK settling for where my life was at. Sure, I had dreams of where I wanted to be but I wasn't getting there anytime soon with my current procrastination and lack of goals.
One of the most important things Joy did for me was to flip my entire perspective. She made me see things that I had never been able to see before, whether it was the way I handled different situations or the thought process that went on in my own head that I was completely unaware of. With Joy's help I was able to see myself from the outside looking in instead of the other way around. With this new perspective, we were able to quickly identify areas for improvement and plan our attack.
The second most important thing she did was like spring cleaning for my head. She cleared out all the clutter and helped me develop focus and set goals. It's like asking for directions and having someone hand you a detailed map. But this map would have been useless if I had no idea where I was going but with Joy's help the destination became clear.
Joy not only provided the guidance and support I needed, she also was not shy about dishing out a much needed kick in the ass I needed when my motivation started to drop. Having someone there to keep you accountable for your actions is priceless in itself.
For the first time in my life I feel like I am on a clear path with attainable goals that I'm actually exited about and I owe this all to Joy. You owe it to yourself to reach your full potential, and with Joy's help you will have no problem doing just that.
Drew, Internet Marketer
"Each day since coaching I have the attitude that something good will happen to me, it has been like a train going downhill and gaining momentum."
"When I started with Joy I had set expectations for myself, I spent money that I didn't have and felt guilty about this. My wife was not overly happy with this decision but I knew I must make the best of it. The most important result has been learning with Joy to take small steps each day to success in life. To recognize the Musts and to set daily achievable goals. What I have noticed most is the small changes that have taken place in my life that are now becoming big changes. I no longer wait for results; I create them, and now they seem to come to me. It has been a magical transformation.
In the beginning of this process I asked myself 'will 30 to 45 minutes every 10 days or so make a difference in your life'? The answer to this question is: 'How bad do you want to change and how hard are you willing to work at it'?
Personal Coaching is not magic. It helps you to focus on what is important in your life and to take the action steps with the help of your coach to move forward in your life. I can say so far it has been only positive. I'm tired of the procrastination, non-completion, ‘I’ll do it tomorrow' attitude and lack of financial abundance. I want to change now and I'm willing to take the action and direction to do so.
Personal Coaching is the most important step you can take in your life. The results have started for me and there is so much more to look forward to!"
Irwin G Michelman, Director of Sales & Marketing Seattle, Washington www.ecobusiness.com/irwinm
"When Joy and I started working together about 4 years ago, I was just beginning a transformation in my life."
"I was checked out emotionally, and was struggling to find out and follow my true passions in life. I was taking on myself and also learning a new career. I not only maintained and improved the bottom line in my existing company while I established and grew a successful coaching company, but grew as a father, husband and human being. I reached my goals, and in less time than I thought I would because Joy has taught me strategies that have helped me to excel at my goals and also created a space for me to remain accountable for using them to enjoy the life I deserve. She has also brought forth the perspective to see the opportunities that are around me everyday. I am much happier now in my relationships, career, and life as a result of my time with Joy."
Darrell Walker, Business Owner and Coach www.nextdaysigns.net
"Before coaching I would characterize myself as successful and happy but still somehow not totally fulfilled. I had the feeling that something was missing and I was searching for answers. Through my experience with coaching from Joy I feel that I have grown significantly in all areas of my life."
"My name is Leonard Zaccagnino. I am 50 years old, married for 21 years to the same incredible woman who is the mother of my 3 wonderful children, ages 12, 16, and 18. Professionally I am a trial attorney specializing in representing seriously injured individuals and a principal in my own practice for the last 20+ years.
Since coaching with Joy, I have discovered a sense of peace; in doing so my practice and finances have improved, my relationships with my family and friends have improved, and most importantly, my relationship with myself has improved Through this process I was guided and allowed to discover for myself answers to many questions I had. I’ve also come to the knowing that there is no final destination but rather a continuous and wonderful journey that can be whatever you want it to be.
I would strongly recommend coaching with Joy. She is knowledgeable, professional, and very effective."
Leonard Zaccagnino, Trial Attorney Hamburg, New York www.shawlawpc.com
"You are an enlightened soul who has an amazing ability to connect, love, inspire, teach, motivate, and guide. You have helped me to improve: my relationship with my wife, Lise; my career; my earnings potential; my relationship with my employees, friends and family; and - more importantly - my relationship with myself. Thank you."
"I am soaring because of your coaching. You have the gift of being able to establish rapport easily, and you have used this gift to help me to grow spiritually. I now come from a place of abundance, not scarcity, and because of this one shift, my life is richer in every way.
I value your teaching. I appreciate your guidance which has helped me to really get to know me - to tap into my soul. And I also treasure your ability and willingness to challenge me — ‘to take names and kick butt’ (hey, that is my masculine energy coming out!) — when I need it so that I can produce the results I want when I want them.
Joy, you are an amazing lady, and you have made me a better person. God has blessed you with an amazing gift, and I am excited that I will continue to benefit from it as we work together in the future.
With appreciation, thanks, joy and love,"
Jim Slatten, Chief Operating Officer Leed Petroleum PLC www.leedpetroleum.com
“Joy helps me by listening to what is most important in my life. I have written goals and detailed the type of life that is important to me. Then during our coaching, she asks questions which causes me to reflect upon what I stated is important. She supports me changing/adjusting what is important OR she helps me live up to what I determined is important for my highest quality of life.”
“I know I need her coaching when my life doesn’t feel balanced or when I am feeling overwhelmed. I also need her coaching when I am bored and ready for a bigger challenge.
I highly recommend Joy and continue to benefit from her caring insight.”
Shawn R., San Francisco, CA
"Prior to going through your program I was very frustrated and overwhelmed in my life. I was living unfulfilled. I wanted a more fulfilling career, a healthier body, and richer relationships in my life."
"However, I kept feeling overwhelmed with all the things that I felt I had to do to accomplish these goals. I mean how was I supposed to find more time in my busy schedule to workout more, start a business while working a demanding job, and better connect with my girlfriend, family and friends?
Through working with you I was able to crate a laser-like focus in my life. A focus that would filter out all the wasted time in my life and allow me to focus only on the things that I wanted.
Next I created a series of habits that I framed my days around that reinforced the outcomes that I was after and gave me mini-accomplishments that made me feel great and pushed me to continue moving forward toward my goals.
Suddenly that feeling of overwhelm was gone and I had a renewed confidence that I could achieve what I set out to do.
Since beginning working with you I have started a business part-time, landed my first client, and am growing to the point where I've now planned my exit of my job and moving to my business full-time. I lost over 15 pounds and have completed my first triathlon. I am continuing to focus on my health and vitality and feel stronger each week. I have also formed a group of people who routinely do volunteering work for local charities and it feels great to be giving back.
I feel great now knowing that I have a system in place to properly manage all the demands life throws at me. I am focused and rewarded every day by my mini-accomplishments that I know will ultimately get me what I want in my life.
Again, I just wanted to thank you Joy for your expert advice and helping me to push through the mental blocks that were sabotaging me from living the life that I imagined.
Thank you!"
Nick O, Minneapolis, MN
"Efficient and powerfully effective! Joy is a highly competent and skillful executive and team coach."
"Joy worked with our 4D Leadership team in a positive and proactive manner, supporting us through a highly efficient and effective 360 degree feedback process with individual and team goal setting in support of a proactive development process. Joy utilized a compelling, pragmatic and effective model for helping people in organizations grow, learn and enhance performance and effectiveness.
In a very short period of time Joy has instilled within our leadership team renewed enthusiasm and responsible leadership that will support our hotel’s momentum toward successfully achieving 5 Star/5 Diamond rating in the hotel industry. She helped us further appreciate that to achieve our 5 Star/5 Diamond rating we must have a 5 Star/5 Diamond team.
Our Hilton International Vice-President for Human Resources participated at the team debrief session as he was also very impressed by the different approach. He communicated this to several of my colleagues in the Americas division and I have received calls enquiring about it. At The Marquette, I certainly look forward to implementing a 360 for the next layer of department heads.
I recommend Joy to any leadership or executive team desiring fully engaged minds and hearts, and passionate performance at all levels of an organization!"
Sincerely,
Gerard Viardin, General Manager Marquette Hotel www.hilton.com
"After just 7 months of coaching, my life rocks! My business is booming and my monthly cash flow has increased by $7,000 since beginning coaching. Just as importantly, I'm enjoying the business. I feel relaxed and in control. My leadership and influence have expanded, and my speaking skills are off the chart!"
"Before coaching with Joy, I was struggling with my business and with my marriage. I found myself frequently frustrated and stressed, especially in these two extremely important areas of my life. In addition I was unhealthy. My energy was low, I was eating unhealthy crap, and I wasn't exercising.
Now my marriage is great as well! My wife and I are enjoying an open, loving, fun, and adventurous relationship. We have created a shared mission in our lives, and we have a much deeper appreciation and understanding for each other. Without Joy, I could never have done this.
And perhaps the most incredible change has been learning to master my emotions - because this change has created incredible results in every area of my life. I am no longer stressed. I'm able to instantly transform my emotions rather than be a slave to frustration. When 'problems' arise, I now tackle them with calm and confidence. I see opportunities everywhere.
And finally, physically, I feel fantastic. I'm now a vegan and I’m currently training for my first ultra-marathon (50 miles)! More to the point, I have a ton of energy everyday! I feel amazing - and that feeling translates to incredible performance and incredible fulfillment in everything I do... in every area of my life… and in every relationship.
Joy is a superb coach who has guided and supported me every step of the way.
But of course, the journey is just beginning! I find myself filled with excitement as I anticipate the next 7 months! I find myself asking, 'If all this has happened in just 7 months, what's possible in one year? Two years?'
The best is yet to come!
Thank You Joy!"
AJ Hoge, Director Effortless English LLC www.EffortlessEnglishClub.com
"I am happier in all areas of my life. It continues to be an incredible adventure and I look forward to the next part of my life."
"Before working with Joy I just existed; getting by and not very happy with any part of my life. That was almost nine months ago, when I realized things had to change. My idea was just to start a business of my own to make a living. But thank God that was not Joy's idea. This is what happened:
- I learned to make a business plan, and set up clear and concise goals
- I created a business that was in demand even in a down market
- I learned to take small steps and build on my successes
- I built my self confidence
- I now face my fears and do it anyway
And something else happened along the way; I put my whole life together - health, spiritual, relationship, finance and business. All aspects fell into place.
What is that saying, 'No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.' That is Joy; you come to realize that you are not just a client. Thank you for all your help."
Randy Wagner, CEO, Data Storage Inc. www.friendstravelingaround.com
"What is it that you really, really want out of life?' A simple question that I thought I had a clear and distinct answer to. After all, I was working countless hours every week trying to reach this elusive goal."
"Yet when Joy, my success coach, asked me this simple question I was unable come up with a clear and focused set of requirements that needed to be met before I could consider myself a happy and successful person. It was an epiphany to say the least. I remained under Joy's coaching for the next three years.
From the darkest days of self-doubt and apprehension, she showed me how to soar above my fears and destroy my negative and limiting belief structures about myself and the world around me. We started with basics, concepts such as recognizing negative patterns and managing my states. Moving through each of the categories that make up the wheel of life, she showed me how to obtain superlative results in my relationships, my business, and increasing my health and vitality, to name just a few.
Since I started my coaching sessions with Joy I managed to: continue my commitment to quitting smoking, work out regularly to obtain a level of energy and health that I never thought possible, meet the woman that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with and marry her, quit my job and establish a business which has allowed me to take the reigns of my own financial destiny, exponentially improve my time management and goal setting skills, and the list goes on.
A veil has been removed from in front of my eyes and a new world exposed. In this world: I see through challenges instead of getting stopped by them, I spend 20% of my time on the problem and 80% of my time on the solution, after every failure and success I ask why it happened the way it did and write it in a journal. The greatest gift anyone can give themselves is to find how to reach their own version of this world and stay in it.
Thanks Joy, without you none of this would have been possible."
Sincerely,
Adnan Shawkat, Chief Technology Officer Advanced Bio-Logic Solutions http://ablscorp.com/
"Thank you for helping me find myself again for I was so lost and unconscious. You have touched a life in more ways than you know."
"My life before coaching with Joy:
- No clear purpose
- No clear understanding of repeating behavior patterns
- Operating out of unconscious mind and complete unawareness
- Totally limited use of gifts and limited available resources
- Lost and not clearly understanding myself in both areas of improvement and strengths
My life after coaching with Joy:
- Specific understanding of my personal profile and driving forces
- Great fit and environments identified
- Specific books, tape programs, and pdf files customized for my growth and intellectual understanding
- Available resources ten times what they were
- Brought back to consciousness and awareness and development of personal gifts and talents
- Visualization techniques
- Understanding myself and behavior patterns
- Resources to explore new career - questions to ask, resources to draw upon
- Training of mental and emotional mindset
Thank you Joy!"

"I believe Joy is at the top of her game. I truly appreciate Joy's great prowess in her coaching abilities."
"Joy listens to me and responds with valuable input. I feel, especially after many sessions, she is fully in tune with my goals; personally, professionally and financially. She is a marvelous compass for me."
Thomas Bahler, Creative Director Los Angeles, California www.myspace.com/tombahler
"Working with Joy is a major push into a higher level of wisdom, action, and compassion. She is great at providing techniques that speak to where you are and where you want to go."
"I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to move quickly forward toward their most important goals.
Blessings to you Joy..."

"I wanted to take time to thank you and let you know of some of the benefits I received during our coaching sessions together. I am so excited about what has happened in my life in the past six months. I could not have done this without the help of a coach and I believe you are a big part of where I am today."
"I remember six months ago when I was investigating coaching. At that time I was already a life-learner and had some degree of fulfillment in my life. I was avidly reading books, listening to CDs and talking with people about becoming who I really wanted. I turned to coaching because I was consistently being distracted in my focus and my commitments in what I wanted. I knew I had the drive and love for life, but didn’t have a map to get where I was going. I just didn’t have everything I needed to see in my patterns which had me in an endless circle without any real life fulfillment.
Taking the leap and working with a coach was a big step. I didn't know what the impact would be in allowing someone to look into my life and assist me in finding a new focus on what I was doing with my time. That impact is immeasurable because of this new way of thinking and direction. In the past six months I created a vision for my life and have completed all the commitments I wanted to see come true. This is only the beginning. I am excited to see where I will be and what I learn about myself in the next six months.
Joy I am delighted to know you and to have you as my first coach in this life-long passion I have with myself. Thank you for all your encouragement and guidance."
Sincerely,
Steven Seiler, Denver, Colorado
