Working with Joy during both career and life transitions was truly a transformational experience. Joy listens deeply, honors the emotions and concerns expressed by her clients, frequently makes connections to goals set at the beginning of an engagement, celebrates wins/growth, and is responsive to both long-term and immediate needs. During my time with Joy I gained clarity around my career interests, priorities, and goals, and found myself more deeply connected to my inner voice. I will always be grateful for Joy!

I’ve worked with Joy Jones Coaching several times in 2020 and 2021, during my time as global head of people at Very Good Security, Inc. Early in 2020, when our offices needed to close as a result of Covid-19, Joy led a series of workshops to help our employees cope with the isolation imposed by Covid and the work from home situation that was new and difficult for many of our team members. Joy also led a workshop around Black Lives Matter and diversity and inclusion for VGS in mid-2020 and additionally facilitated a session with a guest speaker around these topics. Most recently, we brought Joy back for a team session to help us reflect on “the Covid year 2020” where Joy facilitated a number of group discussions.
I highly recommend Joy; her professionalism, her ability to listen and understand others, and her highly developed EQ make her an outstanding choice for a coach and facilitator, and I will definitely continue to work with Joy Jones Coaching.

Working with Joy helped us get through some really tough parenting moments when we just weren’t sure what to do. Our toddler is a great kiddo, but we were dealing with tantrums, sleep issues, and general discord (and a pandemic, a new baby, and mom going back to work.) Joy was so empathic and knowledgeable about children’s behavior that we felt like she was taking care of us while providing really practical strategies for improving our toddlers behavior. She was able to break down the issues we were facing into themes with tactics to address them - and in more specific and actionable ways than any book can. We literally use the tools she gave us every day, to everyone in our home’s benefit. I would recommend working with Joy to anyone trying to parent more intentionally!

2019 was the hardest and most difficult year of my life. When I was completely lost and looking for the meaning of my life after losing my dad suddenly and unexpectedly, Joy helped me better understand where and who I was in that moment, and where I wanted to be moving forward.
All my plans and goals suddenly became meaningless and Joy helped me to reevaluate my perspective. She encouraged me to set up new goals that helped me to come back on track and regain the confidence in myself.
Joy has a gift to connect people. Her communication skills and expertise helped me answer all the questions I had. During our time together, I could also express my sadness and could be 100% me, crying and laughing when I needed it. She helped me feel proud of myself again. I could be present and connect with myself while someone was listening to everything I thought and felt.
Coaching with Joy has been one of the most rewarding and powerful experiences in my life. I truly recommend her :)

I started working with Joy at a pivotal time in my life- as my dad became sick and ultimately passed away. But this major life event aside, there were and will always be other things going on in my life that I needed help walking through.
It was monumental working with Joy during both these “normal” life events, and also an earth-shattering event. She showed me so much compassion and patience, helped hold me accountable through action plans and check-ins, and listened with an openness that is rare to find in people. Our meetings were truly a high point each week. Finding someone who can gently guide you with a genuine acceptance is a gift, and Joy is that person. I’m extremely grateful for our time together and I know she will touch many other lives too.

What a gift of a workshop Joy Jones’ curated for us in her cozy, warm, and sun-lit space. Joy created a welcoming space for us to connect with each other and more importantly connect with ourselves. She was a thoughtful and caring guide through territory that can sometimes be challenging to face but ultimately is always rewarding. She met people where they were, made meaningful connections, and actively listened to help us do our best self-work. I didn’t want the afternoons to end. I hope she continues to offer these type of workshops because i would definitely sign up for another.

Joy was able to create a space in which we all felt comfortable enough to do a tremendous amount of reflection and growth in a relatively short amount of time. She combined educational activities (drawing from her wisdom from years working as an educator!) with visualizations and meditations. These exercises helped me connect to what *really* matters to me as I live this next year. And it also helped me let go and forgive of what was painful from the past year. I'm finding that I keep returning back to what we discussed - as I face challenges as a parent, as a partner, in my job - and it’s giving me a center I can return to, to remind myself of what lessons I carry within myself. Im so grateful for the time I spent with Joy. I hope to learn from her again.

Joy Jones truly embodies the quality of JOY! I feel very blessed that our paths crossed as every session I felt this beautiful energy of joyfulness. I looked forward to every session as I felt Joy’s absolute presence and appreciated her ability to listen with the ears of her heart. To have a life coach that is this evolved is truly a gift. She held space that was unconditional love that made me feel completely safe and through her experience and wisdom guided me to find and trust the answers within myself. Joy is like an exquisite jewel vibrating a rainbow of divine light. I am deeply grateful for her generosity, integrity, and deep passion to be of service and help people transform their lives. I know my life is not the same after meeting Joy and she has guided me to find the rainbow in my life.
