... I have been both a participant and trainer
in various personal development seminars so I believe I offer
a unique perspective of Phoenix's workshop. I had worked with
Phoenix when she was known as JOY! during one on one settings
when we both lived in Puerto Vallarta, I knew it would be
a safe, fun and fascinating day.
Phoenix is a Fun Facilitator! God, that woman cracks me up!
Between her Kiwi accent, her Carol Burnett facial expressions
and sharp as a whip humor, she had me in stitches throughout
the day. She has the most marvelous gift to inspire lightness
into a growth process that is far too often taken much too
seriously.
Phoenix is an Egoless Facilitator! Just imagine what a heady
experience it would be to have people literally sitting at
your feet lapping up all your earthly and spiritual wisdom.
OOOOhhh Baby, could my ego love that! Never once and I mean
NOT ONCE did I get a hit of her having an egoic sense of satisfaction
in her facilitation and my ego detector works full-time! It
was refreshing to be in the midst of a Master who is unafraid
to authentically reveal her own struggles and triumphs with
the tools she teaches.
Phoenix emanates complete Love and Respect for the participants.
She created an environment where we were able to feel safe,
heard and accepted regardless of what level each of us were
at during the process. Her effectiveness is conditional on
her being completely trustworthy and when she mirrors back
to you your Magnificence, void of even a micro amount of judgment,
you can’t help but give her your total trust.
I highly recommend any of Phoenix’s workshops. I got
my mojo back!

Testimonials
From the Vice President of the Professional
Convention Management Association
Joy!,
The Lone Star Chapter of PCMA would like to thank you for
spending time with our Board on November 7th! Everyone in
attendance was left wanting more!!!
When we first spoke you asked me what my objectives were for our
Board to gain from your presentation. I told you that we had a
dynamic group of people who were very energetic and respond best to
interactive presentations. You did an awesome job!
My specific wishes for the retreat were:
| Wish #1: |
For everyone
to know one another better, know what makes the others tick,
to be able to work together effectively as a team. |
| Wish #2: |
For even the
‘old school’ members to lose their fear around doing
something new and different. |
| Wish #3: |
For everyone
to leave feeling excited about achieving their goals for the
coming year. |
Joy!, by the end of the 60-minute program you
had indeed granted every wish and more. The entire Board
was delighted with your presentation and would be happy
to recommend you as a speaker in the future.
What amazed me most was that you took pieces from at least
three separate keynote subjects to tailor a lecture exclusively
designed to grant my wishes for our retreat. It worked perfectly!
We especially enjoyed the facial analysis portion of your
presentation - we talked about it for the next day and a
half!
Joy!, thank you again for making us laugh and for bringing the whole
group together as a team. I hope to have the honor of experiencing
your talent again very soon!
All the best,
Nancy Simonieg
Vice President
PCMA Lone Star Chapter

Please note that JOY! ends with an !
That punctuation is every bit as important
as the name. What she brings to her presentations is a sense
of fun and exuberance that is genuinely contagious. Her
presentation at the Acorn Business Alliance was entertaining
and instructive. She held a room full of professional trainers
and consultants on the edge of their chairs.

Joy has been a presenter at my center for a variety of keynotes,
and I would highly recommend her for any of them. What Joy
brings to each speech is unparalleled enthusiasm combined
with exemplary presentation skills and a deep knowledge
of her subject.
JOY!’s background enables her to bring an
understanding of what techniques of presentation work with whatever
type of audience she is presented with.
Her varied training and life experiences
allow her to draw from a deep well of understanding and
wisdom that she then warmly, but professionally, is able
to share with her audience in a manner that make whatever
subject she is teaching easy to understand while always
remaining thought-provoking.
There are not many professional presenters
that have the range of experience and subject manner that
Joy is able to offer, and even fewer that are able to share
this information in a manner that is as stimulating and
educational. I would not hesitate to set Joy! up as a speaker
for any occasion or any subject that she says she can cover,
as my numerous experiences of having her feature at my center
have all been very successful.
