The Joy Test™ Evaluation was born in my early years after becoming a coach. 

I was on a call with my coach and we were talking about my life and how overwhelmed I was feeling.  We spent some time looking at what I was doing and what I was involved with.  She asked me a brilliant question (as coaches are prone to do):

"Are any of those things bringing you joy?"

Well, after that call a post-it went onto my computer where I could see it all the time.  All it said was:

"Does this bring you joy?"

With that reminder in sight, everything that came across my desk was put to the test.  I looked at the post-it and answered the question.  If the answer was yes, I did whatever the task was.  If it was no, I just plain didn’t do it.

As a result of this one coaching session, I resigned from a number of boards and committees, stopped attending meetings where my soul was not being fed, and stopped taking on new projects that just didn’t excite me.

There were a lot of people who didn’t understand but that didn’t matter.  My life changed.

I began experiencing more peace.  I was having more fun.  The things I was involved in (both professionally and personally) made me happy.  And my business really took off.  I had as many clients as I wanted and I was able to easily manage it all.

I knew other people needed to know what I had just discovered - That life can be a joyful experience and it is a daily choice. 

The Joy Test™ Evaluation was created.

And then it grew into more and more. 

Anyway, because of that one conversation my life became joyful and my life was full of peace. 

That’s what I want for you, too!

As a Master Certified Coach, joy is always part of my coaching … no matter what clients are working on.
