As a former wallflower in the world of business networking, I know firsthand what it takes to overcome the greatest obstacle you'll face - the four inches between your ears.
It all starts with how you think.....and builds on how you connect.
Since 2008, I've helped individuals achieve higher levels of performance, and companies to discover new opportunities for success. I combine my extensive training and experience in the science of mindset and the art of business connections to provide the one-two punch that gives my clients an advantage over their counterparts and their competition.
Ideal clients are motivated to make real progress and make it fast. They want to cut out as much as the learning curve as possible. Clients span multiple industries but they have one thing in common - they want accountability, a proven process and results....fast.
At the continued prompting from audiences and clients, I put insights and tactics into book form with the release of Just Another Leap and did it again with Your Connecting Advantage. I also launched the LinkedIn Starter Pack and Influence Academy to help business owners, solopreneurs and professional service providers create an influencer brand, expand their network and grow their businesses.
If you're ready to consciously grow your business, we should talk.

Act Your Wage
You may be familiar with Dave Ramsey's philosophy of making your money work for you by living on less than you make, in other words "act your wage." During a meeting with a client earlier this week, she commented, "I wish my entire sales team would act their wage. They all set big goals at the beginning of 2012. Most are on track but others haven't been putting forth the efforts necessary to accomplish them." Now that puts 'act your wage' in an entirely different light!

What Does Your List Look Like?
This isn't the typical way I approach things but I’ll admit I’m absolutely dumbfounded and have to ask WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS?! Facebook and news outlets are full of stories like:rn- NYC man kills his boss after being laid off - Man arrested for stabbing a puppy multiple times for eating cat food in the house - KCMO Police rescue malnourished girl after being locked in a closet - Gunman at Aurora CO movie theater kills 12 peopler And the list of horrible stories goes on…..

The Four Things That Matter Most
It’s not often I write an article with tears in my eyes but today is the day. My mother, Anna Mae, received her wings two years ago on August 29th. Unlike my father’s passing, my brothers and I knew the time was coming but still weren't ready to say goodbye. A friend of mine suggested we read ‘The Four Things That Matter Most, A Book About Living’ by Ira Bock. It was divine timing and exactly what we needed for guidance in my mom’s final days.

Lightly Breaded and Laughing
You may be familiar with the saying, “it’s not what happens but how you react to what happens that counts.” We've all dealt with unexpected situations; ones that are no big deal and others that test your attitude. As a horse owner of 18 years I've had my share but last weekend was certainly unique. You may find it hard to imagine but cleaning stalls is actually a Zen experience for me. The two hours I spend at the barn on the weekend is my opportunity to get away from life as usual, and the horses and cats are an added bonus.

Networking Mindset
"Giving your business card out is pretentious and besides, have you ever gotten any business from doing that?” was Doug’s reply when I asked him for a card. I realize the bar at Brio wasn't what you would consider a typical networking venue, but in my experience opportunities to make great connections can happen anywhere.

Stuck in Networking Hell? Here Are 7 Steps to Create Connecting Nirvana Instead
“Not another meeting…” This has become the mantra for every corporate suit whose schedule is bursting with appointments, but networking is just as stressful. You spend your entire day meeting and greeting, exchanging business cards, and planning to email just about everyone in the cluster of states surrounding you. It’s looking like a busy week, and you’re ready to pull your hair out just thinking about it.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Joyce Layman
“I’ve often said it, and said it publicly…’Joyce Layman is simply one of THE best Networkers in the world.’ She combines a caring, giving essence with significant business acumen. She is a connector of others and a top producer in terms of results. Best yet, as a speaker, she has a knack of connecting with an audience. She supplies them with her wisdom in such a way that not only can they learn how to do the same, but they come away with the confidence that they can do the same. Joyce ROCKS, and I’m proud to know her as a contemporary, a friend, and as one of my mentors.”
~Bob Burg, coauthor of The Go-Giver and author of Endless Referrals.

“Joyce is a pleasure to work with. She has been instrumental in helping our organization navigate through change. Joyce is an excellent listener and is genuine in helping our organization. She is passionate about her work and she creates energy in the room. I admire her high quality work and she continuously adds value to our organization.”
~ Chad A. Wilkins, President & Executive Director, Resource Center for Independent Living

After 23 years of non-productive networking, I was fortunate to meet Joyce at what I had determined to be my last networking event. She asked what results I was getting from my efforts. I shared with her that for over two decades, I had provided quality referrals to many and had received very little in return. She said, “I can help you fix the problem and turn your networking into a valuable asset capable of growing your business exponentially.” The fee I paid for her consulting is absolutely the best business development investment I have ever made. My only regret is I didn’t meet her 20 years ago. It is without reservation that I recommend her services to you. Do you and your business a favor…retain her.
