Client Testimonials
Straight From the Source
I would have no hesitation in recommending Joyce to the public sector and private companies alike in relation to executive leadership coaching. Alongside this Joyce’s ability to engage with individuals relating to life stages, changes and challenges would provide a positive structure and platform to enable positive change and development. She has strong trust and confidentiality principles which are complimented by her personal qualities of patience and thoughtfulness alongside her creativity and vision.
Joyce’s experience of leadership within the education setting led her to deliver a model of leadership coaching using NLP as the basis. Joyce ensured the NLP principles of building rapport; outcome thinking; behavioural flexibility and recognition of limiting beliefs were key to her approach. I am aware this was a successful venture and was welcomed in schools and education departments alike.

Independent Project Manager (Public Sector)
If you are looking for someone to support you solve a problem or help you achieve then I can personally recommend Joyce. Joyce led me gently and with skill to identify, both barriers and ways of moving forward. Her questions and reframing helped me gain clarity and insight and moved me towards my goals. Joyce’s calm and pleasant demeanour belies the hard work the client undertakes. I alway’s left her sessions knowing my brain had had a thorough work out and with new insights and questions to ponder. Joyce’s personal coaching whilst I was on the National Professional Qualification for Headship course led to me identifying consultancy and training as a potential future career, something I am now happily pursuing."
"I was lucky enough to have been trained by Joyce in coaching as part of the Every Child a Talker project. The training was not only fascinating and practical but for me has had extremely positive outcomes. Following the training coaching was identified as a strength area of mine whilst undertaking both the NPQH and NPQICL. A Children’s Centre review commented on “real delegated and distributive leadership’ whilst a head teacher commented “… she led and coached the staff, empowering them to be active participants in the process”. If you want positive comments and outcomes like these then I highly recommend working with Joyce.”

Early Years Trainer and Consultant
Over many years, I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Joyce as my coach. She has been an invaluable source of advice, motivation, and guidance throughout my educational career. Joyce is an incredibly talented coach, with many special qualities. Her value-centred approach has not only been a professional gift, but a personal one, that I have been able to apply to all relationships in my life.
Joyce is a gifted listener. It is more than her empathy and ability to focus on someone else; she is uniquely able to filter what she has heard into valuable, credible insight. Her ability to ask powerful, thought provoking and challenging questions supported me to repackage my own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that added meaningful direction. She served as my conscience by providing a framework for me to identify the “root causes” of challenges on my own, and provided a safe environment for me to think, talk through and develop my thoughts and necessary next steps. My enhanced understanding of my strengths, blind spots, and communication style have increased my ability to see the same in others and manage, lead and coach more effectively!
I will be forever grateful to Joyce for her guidance and I would strongly recommend her to anyone at any phase of their career.

Deputy Head
Joyce is an exceptional coach. She coached me when I was on the cusp of making a big life and career transition and her questions and approach helped me form real clarity on exactly what I wanted and how I was going to do it. Joyce helped me set realistic goals and clear outcomes and I went on to make a big life and career change that helped me achieve what I wanted. It helped me me face the uncertain future and change I was making with courage, fortitude and above all faith that I was doing the right thing. I'm eternally grateful for Joyce's patience, guidance and care.
