Testimonials

When I set out to become an author, Joscelyn set expectations with me from the very beginning and guided me every step of the way. We worked together seamlessly. The way she was able to take the content I had drafted, develop it with me and then glue it all together was brilliant, insightful and empowering. She kept us on schedule, despite hurdles that we had not expected. Our professional relationship was the kind you want—honest, accountable, driven and easy. I am grateful for the introduction to her, and her belief in our mission to create something together. I look forward to working with her again soon.

“I have gone through the entire book and I think you are a genius. ... All I can say is I am just in awe of you and your work. I have no idea how you are able to do this—to get inside Mike's life, his mentality, and the deeper aspects of his approach to music. ... I am deeply thankful that I found you and that you took on my project. To say that this would have never come to fruition without you is such an understatement.”

Having obtained a Ph.D. from a highly ranked UK University, I have studied and worked with many who are regarded as intelligent. However, in working with Joscelyn Duffy, I was regularly offered a timely level of insight, inspiration and wisdom that is unmatched. Her ability to understand and reframe concepts and ideas, combined with her knack for just listening were noteworthy traits. In the end, I not only got a world-class website, brand and book in my time working with Joscelyn, I also got the connections and the confidence required to move it all forward. The decision to work with Joscelyn was one of the best business decisions I have ever made.

In her presentation to the Saint Mary’s University MBA class, Joscelyn radiated a calm and authentic presence that allowed our students to safely explore the ‘what if’ questions on careers and life in general. What if I was to honor that place where passion and purpose intersected? Can I build a career with that? Can I build a life with that?
Her conversation on life, passion, purpose and business resonated deeply with our students. She ‘gave voice’ to the truth we know resides in all of us. She made them understand the importance of honoring it and, more importantly, she gave them the confidence to understand it was a life that was attainable. Joscelyn is the kind of speaker I wish I had met when I was starting my career journey!

The Personal Piece

Why have I dedicated my life to helping you discover and contribute your unique value?

After defying death twice, the way I saw everything – from life and business, to people and perspectives – changed. Give me odds and I’ll show you how to defy them. Show me challenges and I’ll reveal how to transform them. Tell me about your lived experience and I’ll help you use the gold therein as part of your work. Describe the next level in your business and I’ll show you all that it can become.

What is this work all about for me?

I believe in our individual and collective potential and work to shape and support business that moves the world forward into that place of possibility. Working one-to-one is my greatest joy, as we bring forth the best in your potential, clarity, confidence and self-expression.

How do I know what it is to connect with, appreciate and communicate your unique value as a thought leader?

For over two decades, I’ve been supporting hundreds of emerging and established thought leaders, from the globally renowned to those with fascinating new ideas to share. I got here when life-threatening illness struck at age twenty-six and removed me from the financial career and life that I knew at the heart of North America’s financial sector. The universe was clearly redirecting my path. The subtle whisper I had long heard to pursue “something more” had turned into a blunt redirection. It was to a new path of supporting fascinating leaders. I never looked back.

“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” - Joseph Campbell

In the throws of debilitating illness, I journeyed through introspection and questions about purpose, human behavior, psychology and spirituality. Through the process of my healing, I came to see the forest for the trees in all aspects of life – the interconnectedness of all things big and small, in any circumstance.

Today, I use that same ability to strategically hone and brilliantly articulate all facets of your thought leadership business – from the big-picture brand and business vision, to the intricacies of how specific positioning and wording will land with your audience. All this while bringing to the table a host of profound knowledge about business, psychology, finance, personal growth, wellbeing, health and mindset.

My clients are status quo shifters – thought leaders, founders and CEOs aiming to redefine the way we live or do business. They believe in merging business, psychology and spirituality in order to maximize impact and their own contribution. To develop unshakable belief in your revolutionary vision or incredible personal story, and create a world-class brand, I hope you join me for a life-changing exploration and dissemination of your ultimate thought leadership.
