LIFE, LEADERSHIP & TEAM COACHING
Are you tired of overworking for the same results?
You clock in the extra hours and take the extra work because you need to prove yourself. But come year-end, you are again passed over for promotion. You are told that you are not “executive” enough. Instead, you are rewarded with more work.
You want to speak up, but your immigrant mindset tells you that you should just keep your head down. Deep inside, you are craving for change.
WHAT IF YOU CAN BREAK FREE FROM THIS MINDSET, FIND YOUR VOICE, AND LEAD FROM A PLACE OF AUTHENTICITY AND COURAGE?
Hi! My name is Joyce Talag. I am a certified life, leadership and team coach, and owner of Joyful Transformations LLC.
My mission is to help you thrive as a whole leader so you can make a positive impact on the teams and communities where you live, work and move.
Since 2019, I have coached hundreds of executives and emerging leaders advance in their careers and navigate transitions with greater confidence while managing stress, improving relationships and gaining better clarity of purpose.
As an Asian immigrant myself, I am aware of the cultural mindsets and structural barriers that get in your way. Through Joyful Transformations, I wish to usher more under-represented groups into higher leadership roles. I believe that diversity in board rooms leads to more thoughtful decisions that can save the destiny of humanity and our planet.
I bring to our coaching over 12 years of experience working on large-scale corporate social responsibility initiatives plus evidence-based training and continuing education with industry thought leaders and pioneers. I love exploring cities by foot, lounging on beaches and supporting local businesses. Most of all, I love my daughter, Kris, who is my greatest source of joy.
Transform Inside & Out
These are examples of how change could look like as a result of working with me:
From a newbie or a transitioning leader who second-guesses a lot
to a confident leader who speaks up and calls the shots
From a silent worker who lets others take the credit
to the high potential whose name is in the leadership’s top of mind
From a serial people pleaser who says “yes” to every favor
to the self-assured woman or man who knows when to say “no”
From an overworked parent on the brink of burnout
to a joyful, thriving whole person who has time for both their relationships and personal hobbies
From the immigrant who is struggling to break free from social expectations & generational trauma
to the role model who breaks the cycle and opens the path for others
