PRAISE FOR events

I have worked with many coaches over the years that have given me life-changing ways of thinking, but I was wrestling with a new level of stuck. My first conversation with Sierra was different than any other coaching call I had. Instead of calling me out, she invited me to see the wisdom of what I was feeling. As a headstrong person I don't naturally trust feelings. With Sierra's help a new door was opened to connecting to myself, what I wanted, the power I bring to every situation, and a newfound clarity in what was holding me back. I look back at what should have been a scary ride, but Sierra's guidance was full of the compassion that I didn't yet have for myself, paired with a bold conviction that invited me to more. My personal and work life will be forever different because Sierra was my coach. I wish everybody had the opportunity to coach with her.
Ryan Daugherty
Executive Coach at Google
I’ve had the incredible privilege of working with Sierra over the course of a year, and I cannot express how profoundly grateful I am for the experience. From the moment we began our partnership, I knew I had found someone truly special. Sierra has a remarkable ability to see beyond our mask. During our time together, she pushed me to examine my patterns, beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors, leading me to not only deepened my understanding of myself but also to unlock my true confidence as a leader. Sierra exudes warmth and compassion, creating an environment where I felt safe and encouraged to explore and play. She expertly helped me navigate challenges, guiding me toward finding my solutions and empowering me to step into my leadership potential. Her genuine care and support shone through every session, making me feel valued and heard. She celebrated victories alongside me, and during times of self-doubt, she provided a compassionate presence that reminded me of my inherent worthiness and capability. Thanks to Sierra I have experienced a profound transformation in my leadership journey. I now possess the tools and self-awareness to make more conscious decisions, foster meaningful relationships, and lead with authenticity and compassion. The impact that Sierra has had on both my personal and professional life is immeasurable, and I will forever be grateful for the time we spent growing together.

VP of People and Vimcar
Having worked with several different coaches and therapists over the years I feel so grateful to have crossed paths with Joyce. She is operating at the highest level that coaching can offer. She has taught me invaluable lessons on how to utilize the wisdom of my body in order to gain perspective. With her coaching, I am getting to know myself on a deeper level and am able to offer an increasing amount of compassion toward myself and others. She is adept at helping her clients overcome blocks, find confidence in a leadership role, and navigate life's challenges with clarity and ease. I can't recommend her enough!
Abigail Fuller
Director, Chef’s Table
I've been working with Joyce for several months now, both in 1:1 executive coaching and leadership team facilitation. She's been an invaluable partner in my development by combining her finely honed CLG practice with her deep experience as a leader in highly matrixed corporate structures. This combination allows her to quickly relate to issues commonly experienced in the work environment while also being able to leverage the CLG principles to guide me to better outcomes. One of the places I saw Joyce show up strongest was when I asked her to facilitate my leadership team summit and help us craft our vision, mission and guiding principles. Her ability to really see people, skillfully push them to dig deeper and shepherd the group to alignment was top notch. My leaders thought she was fantastic and are now asking for more sessions with her to help us through new complex projects. If you are interested in 1:1 coaching or in need of group facilitation I highly recommend Joyce!
Shelby Cox
VP of Partner Marketing at Sony
There is nothing quite like deeply seeing and knowing yourself to build trust in your own leadership. This work is an excavation of the complex layers that shape how you show up in the world. Joyce brings you into the work with warmth, non-judgment, and wisdom. It’s confronting to become conscious of the ways you may have been toxic in your leadership and your relationships in general, but somehow this work enables you to accept and even appreciate your own humanity. The material itself is life-changing, but Joyce vulnerably commits to her own growth alongside you. She is profoundly, electrifyingly joyous in her work. Joyce has found her calling, and you can really feel it. She is magnetic and inspiring, and her self-awareness offers an invitation to go deep. I could not recommend Joyce more highly as a coach, facilitator, or just a general love bomb of nurturing wisdom and joy.
