Why You Should Learn from Dr. Joyce

1. I am a Certified Training Professional and a Certified Seminar Leader, and I mastered Toastmasters in the Detroit Area, where I trained people how to present.
2. I’ve had the opportunity to have trained, speak, teach, counsel and coach for 30 years.
3. I have been managing my own training and seminar business for the last 25+ years and have been conducting training for over 30 years. I know what works and what doesn’t.
4. With a Ph.D. in psychology/human services, with an emphasis on the self-image and author of six books, executive coach and corporate and individual training, I am qualified.
5. We all need coaches, mentors, trainers, guides, and advisers to help us along – even if only from time to time. Celebrities and successful people from all of life’s endeavors have coaches and advisers around them. These people include: Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie and Kobe Bryant., to name a few. People on television stations, such as CNN and FOX make sure all of their reporters are well-trained before putting them on the air.
6. Probably the most important reason of all is that when I started in the training business I knew nothing! There was no one to mentor or coach me. So I paid many people to train me, attended conferences, seminars and workshops, worldwide.

6. If you have a fear of public speaking… we will help you to dissolve it… so that you can speak to hundreds and thousands of people in your audiences.
7. You will learn where to start… what to do first… what to do next…we will “walk you through.”
8. You will learn how to market yourself and your training programs… and you will learn why learning to do both exceptionally well is critically important.
9. You will learn about audio-visual aids, what equipment and tools you need, how to conduct better program evaluations, how to manage your business, how to market your business, how to manage yourself… and you will learn some of the strategies of highly traveled speakers.
