Coaching & Consulting

Whether you’re launching a new business

…writing your first book

…preparing for a keynote

…wanting to work on your marriage

…searching for a deeper spiritual connection

…or simply wanting to get unstuck,

you don’t have to do it alone.

 

 

LINKING ARMS WITH A COACH & CONSULTANT CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SURVIVING AND THRIVING, STAYING STUCK OR BREAKING THROUGH.

Part mentor, part cheerleader, and part hard-question-asker, Joy is passionate about working with dreamers, doers, budding entrepreneurs & indie authors.

 

What makes coaching different?

You, and only you, are the expert on your life – the dreams & passions, the struggles & concerns.  Only you know what you’re facing, and what you need, and only you can do what it takes to become the person you were created to be.

Every person has the answers to their heart’s cry deep within, and it’s my job as your coach to help you reach into those deep places and draw them out.

I firmly believe that God has deposited “gold” (a dream or life-purpose that utilizes your unique set of skills, gifts and talents) within every single one of us.  But the process of getting it to the surface can feel overwhelming, if not impossible, at times.  This is where the coaching partnership comes in.  We create a partnership where you are the expert on your unique life, and I am the expert in the coaching process.

In other words, I help you ‘mine your gold’.

What is the difference between consulting and coaching, and how can they work together?

Newsweek describes life coaching as “part consultant, part motivational speaker, part therapist and part rent-a-friend, coaches work with managers, entrepreneurs, and just plain folks, helping them define and achieve their goals — career, personal, or most often, both”

So what is the difference?  Well, this is a great question because it’s the distinction between these roles that makes all the difference.

Consultants are typically experts in their field, they bring their wisdom, resources and experience to the table and download their expertise to their clients.

Coaches draw out the wisdom and knowledge already in their clients, helping to create an action plan with clarity, focus and accountability in order to help them move forward.

Consulting tends to function as an ‘outside-in’ process, while coaching assumes an ‘inside-out’ approach.

JOY MARRIES THE POWER OF COACHING & CONSULTING TO BRING YOU THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

I am regularly overwhelmed by the kindness of God I am regularly overwhelmed by the 
kindness of God in the small + simple.

Things like twinkle lights + Christmas jazz,
scraping out the peanut butter fudge pot
all by myself while sitting on the counter,
and walking around the corner to find my
loin fruit snuggled up together over tea.

They may fight like cats + dogs at times,
but their bond is deep and true and sweet.
Happy release day, @dralisoncook 💛 Written at Happy release day, @dralisoncook 💛

Written at the intersection 
of faith and psychology, 
this book is yet another 
soul-nourishing,
heart-healing, 
boundary-fortifying 
gift from Alison Cook
(if you’ve had a heart-to-heart
with me in the past two years,
you know how much I loved 
‘Boundaries for the Soul’). 

As an enneagram 2 who was raised 
in the church, this book was a timely
and liberating read. Pure balm for the 
weary, recovering-people-pleaser soul. 

I am beyond grateful for the wisdom, 
compassion + experience that Alison 
brings to all she shares (and it was
such an honor to be on her launch 
team for this beautiful new book).

Need a survival guide for your growth
and healing journey? Here you go! ✌🏼

“Over the years, I have come to realize that t “Over the years, 
I have come to realize that 
the greatest trap in our life is not 
success, popularity, or power, 
but self-rejection.”
 :: Henri Nouwen

Somewhere along the journey of 
life, we start to believe the lie that - 
despite being made in the very image 
of a good and beautiful God - who we 
are is inherently bad and broken, and 
we learn to cover that deep sense 
of inadequacy (and the shame that 
accompanies it) with performance.

Because our visceral 
human response to 
‘bad + broken’ is 
‘reject + conceal’.

We think it’s the rejection of others
that cuts us to the core, but the truth
is…most of us walk around wounded 
by a constant and unrelenting sense 
of self-rejection and self-loathing.

Want to know why we feverishly seek 
out the approval and validation of others?
Why we desperately want others to like us?

Because we’re out of touch with our
inherent value and worth, and we’re
not sure that we even like ourselves.

We resent our weakness,
and abandon ourselves.

/ / /

But this good + beautiful God of ours…
He is drawn to our weakness like a
moth to a flame, swooping in to
bring strength and grace.

Paul writes in Corinthians 12:9 that 
he learned to delight in his weakness 
because it was when he was week that
“His strength is perfected in me”. 

Or, as the Passion Translation so 
stunningly puts it, “my weakness 
becomes a portal to God’s power”.

Precious ones, we can shun our tender
still-in-process places, pretend to have 
it all together, and hustle for our worth…
OR we can drop the masks, offer kindness 
and curiosity to our hurting, broken parts,
and learn to live fully seen and known.

But we can’t have both.

And yes, it’s scary.

Today may we choose
…grace over perfectionism
…curiosity over shame
…acceptance over rejection
…gentleness over judgement
…wholeness over pretense

You are loved.

"Faith isn't the ability to believe long + far i "Faith isn't the ability

the next step."

Day 15 | Beach Day + Travel Prep We fly out late Day 15 | Beach Day + Travel Prep

We fly out late tomorrow evening so today
has been a lazy day of laundry, laying in the
sun, a petshop visit (where Aiden fell in love 
with a cute rat + I discovered zebra finches), 
an impromptu stop for bubble tea + stuffed crepes [oh my word, were these delicious!!],
shopping [I found the best, comfiest - Joe
would argue ‘ugliest’ - romper at the thrift
store that I can’t wait to wear on our long
journey home], and Aiden is currently off
doing his thing: fishing right from the pier.
