The Joy CEO - Blog
To all of my clients, non-clients, followers, non-followers, friends, colleagues and fellow women:Â
I hear you loud and clear. The pressure is mounting. Your team is smaller, the expectations are greater, and the challenges feel daunting. Itâs easy to feel like youâre about to collapse under the we...
We all know todayâs fast-paced, high-pressure world of business requires some pretty thick skin. Results and performance are the primary focus with cost cutting the omnipotent threat to morale and job security. But, what if a leader could bring more than expertise and profit acumen to the game? What...
Letâs face it, there are plenty of ordinary people saying and doing rather ordinary things and finding great fame and fortune as a result. We see them all day long on social media. Influencers trying to influence, with little to no star power.
This week during a coaching session, my highly talented...
The neatly dressed man held a familiar sign at the bottom of the Tucson airport escalator. âCanyon Ranchâ was my cue that he would drive me to the coveted resort. As my bags arrived, he loaded them into the black Mercedes Sprinter van, gathered a few more arriving guests, and we made our way. We we...
Did you happen to catch my LinkedIn post last week as I was prepping a talk for International Womenâs Day?

I LOVE public speaking. The first time I ever gave a speech was for my 4th grade commencement. I was ten years old. My whole family sat in the front row and I was my best possible self I co...
Joy? Letâs be honest, itâs not even in your top 10 things to do. Youâve got more important things to handle: the board meeting, the customer presentation, the imploding supply chain crisis (I mean shouldnât we be done with this sh*& already?!), your boss wants to talk about the âthingâ, the school ...
With Valentineâs Day just around the corner, I wanted to share something that would not only bring us love but also some JOY! For some, Valentineâs is a great day to celebrate someone they love, but for others it can be lonely and disheartening. Iâve definitely sat on both sides of this fence. My ye...
Picturesque Maine, known for a captivating coastline with world-class lobsters, a breathtaking mountain region, home to the Northeastâs greatest ski resorts and a portion of the Appalachian Trail. People come from all over the world to visit and consume our little slice of Godâs country. Â

Ever find yourself questioning your dreams and your own audacity to even have them? Then running through a list of reasons to squash them yourself?
Yah. Me, too. Â
My stream of conscious ramble goes something like this:
Who the heck do I think I am? I grew up in a tiny little town in Maine with...
Imagine this: youâve checked all the boxes. Youâve reached some of your biggest goals: you just got the promotion with THE title, you now have THE pay, youâre finally in THE house. Youâve got the kids, the car, the Louis. Life is pretty damn good. You stay busy and booked with color coded calenda...
Ever since I can remember, I had a longing, an ache. I have worked from home for years, decades. I would travel to see customers, bosses, teammates. Planes, trains, and automobiles has always been a tagline. Iâve never minded the busyness, but there were times when a hint of loneliness was palat...
Have you ever experienced such joy? Allow me to introduce Miss H, the daughter of a dear friend. Just this very photo of her brings me joyâŠ. xo
