“Joy coached me over the course of a few months. The analysis tools (Energy Leadership Index Assessment) were accurate, especially how I acted under stress. She helped me improve in that area by getting me to recognize my self-limiting beliefs. I also happened to have a Saturday morning session with her after a particularly bad week. She helped me through that and I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend working with Joy.”
