Hello,

I'm Joy.

I’m a coach, keynote speaker, facilitator and creative communicator. I help people create space for what matters, lead with purpose, and live with intention. My work is grounded in clarity, courage, creativity and connection, blending storytelling, neuroscience and practical strategy. The right story – the one that reflects who you truly are – can transform how you live, lead and connect.

Curious? Let’s explore what’s possible together.

Want to make decisions in a way that aligns with your values and strengths?

I support individuals and teams to align their values, vision and voice so they can lead with intention and impact.

This is the space for purpose-led people and teams.

From individuals navigating change, to organisations building mentally fit teams and meaningful narratives – I help people move forward with clarity, courage and connection.

Creative Strategy

Story-led strategy and content to help purpose-driven brands amplify their message with impact.

A human-first approach, grounded in science and story.

I bring 15+ years of experience in communications, leadership, and storytelling, combined with formal training in coaching, facilitation, and mental health. I’m an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and hold a Graduate Certificate in Applied Coaching. My approach is informed by neuroscience, positive psychology, and lived experience. Whether I’m coaching, speaking, or consulting, I create space for congruence, connection, and courageous change.

"I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Joy on several key note and fireside speaking opportunities. Joy is a deeply knowledgeable person who has her finger on the pulse of the most recent research on social, cultural and business issues impacting people. What impresses me most is Joy's intelligence in how she facilitates - she's a subject matter expert on people, communication and D&I - she's able to weave together multiple speakers and build a cohesive dialogue that has multiple viewpoints from various groups - yet the synergy of change is built to bring about thought leadership and leave the listener inspired."

J. D'Silva, Head of Future of Work, APAC
