International speaking

Benchmark 1st Education Conference

Honored to be one of the chosen international speakers to present in Cairo, Egypt for the Benchmark 1st Education Conference. I gave two presentations; one on Gamification and the other on Mobile Learning for Students. Here are some great highlights of the day as captured by Benchmark Education. It was an absolutely outstanding day of learning and innovation at its best.

Signature framework

What's the elephant in your room?

"Shame is not in having elephants; we all have them. Growth comes from choosing to address them."

Every organization has an elephant; the uncomfortable truth that everyone sees but no one names. And every high-achieving woman carries one too. Joyce's signature framework creates the language, the safety, and the courage to address both; building more honest leaders and more sustainable cultures from the inside out. The framework is customized for each audience, including leadership and organizational culture, mental health and wellbeing, and domestic violence awareness; meeting people where they are and where they need to go.

The elephant we see

The unspoken truth in the room; what everyone notices but fear, bias, or politics keeps silent.

The elephant within

The patterns, blind spots, and suppressed weight we carry; visible to others long before we see it ourselves.

What attendees say: Joyce has given me the necessary tools needed to clean up my negative thoughts and better manage my feelings. Believing in myself has been a game changer. Mission accomplished! - Sharon Puryear, Speaker and Retired Business Owner

Harmonious Wellbeing

Mind, body, and business in alignment, not balance. Joyce dismantles the myth that high performance requires personal sacrifice, and gives leaders a practical framework for sustainable achievement and genuine work-life harmony. A timely and necessary message as burnout hits record highs.

Your Personal Board of Directors

The leaders who demonstrate success and advancement are those who are the most strategically supported. Joyce shows high-performing women and organizations how to deliberately build the inner circle of influence, advocacy, and accountability that accelerates their leadership trajectory.

It was a powerful way to start the year and a timely reminder that a new year doesn't have to mean a new you. Instead of chasing drastic change, Joyce encouraged us to focus on intentional practices, gratitude, and small, sustainable steps that actually support long-term wellbeing. We're grateful for the insight and energy Joyce brought to this session, and we would highly recommend her to other organizations looking to integrate wellness into their culture in a practical, human, and meaningful way.
