Speaker: Joyce Layman, Connector-Author-Speaker
​As a former wallflower in the world of business networking, Joyce Layman knows firsthand what it takes to overcome the greatest obstacle you’ll face – the four inches between your ears.

She was fortunate to tap into information that transformed her life and sought training in The Pacific Institute’s cognitive processes. The same processes which are based on research of the Universities of Stanford, and Washington, to name a few.

It all starts with how you think…..and builds on how you connect.

Since 2008, Joyce has helped individuals achieve higher levels of performance, and companies to discover new opportunities for success.  She combines her extensive training and experience in the science of mindset and the art of business connections to provide the one-two punch that gives her clients an advantage over their counterparts and their competition. No matter if it’s a keynote, workshop or private coaching session, her unique approach can be immediately applied professionally and personally.

At the continued prompting from audience and clients, Joyce put her wisdom into book form with the release of Just Another Leap and did it again with Your Connecting Advantage.  Her latest venture is In Layman’s Terms, an interview style podcast that hit New & Noteworthy on iTunes just two weeks after launch.
