See what just a few of our past Circle members share about their experiences…
“I needed and wanted to grow my business but I didn’t have the focus, clarity, or energy to do so. Joy’s ‘Creating The Spark’ system has absolutely changed my life. By working through the exercises I was able to finally figure out what lights me up inside. For the first time in my life I have a purpose statement that truly represents what I want in my life and I have a map for personal and professional success that is easy to follow and will produce results. I can’t thank Joy enough for making this system available to women everywhere.” — Jessica Maes, Maes Consulting, Inc.

“The biggest benefit of the Success Circle for me was clarity about my priorities. I was able to peel back the many layers of interests, obligations, goals, and desires and hone in on my true, authentic self. This clarity wasn’t what I thought I was seeking, but I’m so happy I found it. Now the choices I make will be in line with my true goals and priorities.” — Christy Bergin, Early Childhood Education Specialist

“I want to express to you my sincere appreciation for the opportunity of being a participant in one of your “Success Circles.” It magnified for me that we all need to feel a sense of belonging and accountability to someone or something to nurture and to continue to grow in our careers and within ourselves. I am working on permanently implementing your insights and ideas to further my success in both my professional and personal life. Again, thank you for being you and for making the “Success Circle” a worthwhile experience in my life.” — Dana Hollinger, JD, www.DanaHollinger.com

“As a busy working mom, I made a commitment to these monthly meetings and am so happy that I managed to make all six and am now in the Alumnae Circle. The power of womens’ energy and spirit coming together gave me a deeper understanding of myself and my purpose. Although I initially resisted writing down my goals, I found that in doing so I achieved them much faster than I’d imagined I would.” — Debra A. Lauzon, Attorney, Lauzon & Euler, LLP www.lauzoneuler.com

“The Circle came at a perfect time for me. I was struggling a little bit with what I wanted my business to be. What was the next level? How was I going to finish the book I was writing? I had a lot of great things going and wanted to make them all work. I just finished the Circle and it was really wonderful… three hours a month to focus on who am I, what do I want to be, what do I want to create in the world. It’s in a beautiful setting and Joy has a wonderful way of facilitating and guiding.” — Corinne Bourdeau, Founder, 360 Degree Communications

“Before coming to your circle, I wasn’t really able to find a way to focus and really dig deep to figure out what I wanted for myself. I would contemplate, but not really land anywhere. The circles helped give me tools to direct my thoughts and to try and find answers. Though I am still in that search in many ways (like, if I want to even stay in advertising at all, and when to get out, etc.) still, I really enjoyed and learned a lot from our time together in the circles. I also really love your insightful newsletters. Each time I get one, I look forward to reading the latest “tidbit” and how I can apply it to my thinking.” — Darya Allen-Attar, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney

“As a mother and business woman, I found that SWSS Circles have finally enabled me to focus on me and my purpose. I find the topics discussed to be pertinent to my growth and interests and recommend this for all women as life makes many turns. Joy is a great listener and leader, and I find her to be inspirational.” — Julie Schiffer

“I have seen a huge shift in my life over this last month thanks to your program and the NAOEM summit. I really believe it’s saved my life! Although I love being a nurse practitioner, I was stuck in a job/corporation I hated, causing a cascade of stress & anxiety. I’m happy to tell you I left that job a week ago and have never felt happier! I can clearly see my future, which is doing what makes ME happy and energized. When I look throughout my life these desires have always been within me but I didn’t put them all together until this week when I worked through your workbook. Thank you Joy! On to the Vision Board. 
” — Brandi Funk

“Sometimes life, even when it’s good, can seem like a runaway train. The circle gave me the time, space and support from Joy and the other women to stop for a moment and really think about what was next for me. And then I was given the tools to figure out how to accomplish the goals I set out for myself.” — Beth Osisek

“Joy’s Success Circle, and the additional coaching she provides for Circle members, helped me discover my true desires. She helped me separate out my current dreams from my old dreams and views of myself. She helped me focus on my priorities and make time for myself. She helped me create a mission statement that helped guide me to the future I wanted. Joy is an excellent coach, teacher, group facilitator and a lovely woman to know and to work with. Thank you Joy!” — Kim Scott, M.A., M.F.T., Granada Hills, CA

“Joy, as you know I made my Vision Board with a lot of relaxation on there. Within a couple weeks, a friend contacted me with a week stay at a nice hotel in Palm Dessert. And it was free! I was truly amazed that it came to fruition so quickly. The Circle meant confirmation to me. It confirmed to me the power of positive thought, confirmed that I can get inspiration from other positive women, and it confirmed the strength that I possess as a woman. It is a great grounding for all women.” — Schenae’ Rourk, Mortgage Consultant

“The Circle gave us a safe environment to voice our feelings and feel we were being heard. Because of the structure and the tools I was able to grow and gain more self-awareness. I feel that I can also take these tools and use them to help live my life more attuned to my authentic purpose. I feel very honored to have been part of a group of such deep thinking women.” — Carolyn Howard

“I just wanted to be sure and say thank you. Program came last week – fortunately, I was able to devote all of my time to it and just finished up my final board. The “blueprint for success” was new for me – extremely helpful. Started your recommended routine today – my spirits are lifted and I am much clearer on what needs to get done. Will look forward to listening to the audio when I’m on the road and the three upcoming phone calls. I just can’t thank you enough – not only did this program arrive at a time when I was feeling quite blue, it has helped me rekindle the inner strength needed to turn my business dream into a reality.” — Naomi Tagini
