Joyce Layman

Joyce Layman is a business coach, author, speaker, and connector—with a TEDx talk and two powerful books to prove that your biggest leaps often start with a whisper of “What if?”

She didn’t start bold. In fact, she spent years second-guessing herself in rooms full of polished professionals, wondering if she was too quiet, too different, or just plain not ready.

But in 2008—mid-recession, zero safety net—she took the leap and launched her business anyway.

That leap didn’t just change her career. It changed everything.

Since then, Joyce has helped thousands of people rethink how they show up, what they’re capable of, and how to build the kind of connections that actually lead somewhere—both in life and business.
