…And more of what people are saying…

 ...Joyce Chapman! Where do I begin? I would like to tell the world about Joyce Chapman! She changed my life through her powerful journaling process. Her process is different from any others that I had encountered and took me where I needed to go. She is a masterful writer and “Dream Coach” (Live Your Dream Coach) Joyce intuitively gets to the heart of things with everyone she encounters. I know many people who’s lives she has turned around. Joyce is a polished presenter, and because of her positive energy, vast knowledge, years of experience, and sense of humor, she connects immediately with any audience she works with. In addition, Joyce walks her talk and she’s lots of fun to be around!

..your Live Your Dream workshop, what I learned is still being put into practice and moving me forward. The tools and advice that you provide is life changing. For example, I will never forget the last writing exercise in our class...writing what our life will be like in the future. The picture I wrote is still clear in my mind...and I know that it will become a reality. Thank you again for the wonderful influence you have had in my life and I wish you many more dreams coming true. ~ Carl Vinci

My dream when I bought Joyce's book Live Your Dream, was to be a published author. I didn't realize the exercises in the book would focus my attention on EVERY aspect of my life and make them ALL better, but it did. And my dream?  My seventh published novel is due out in three months!" Cindy VanRooy, Author

Attending Joyce's journaling classes during a huge transition in my life years ago was a pivotal point in helping me clarify who I was and what were my dreams. I was amazed at how many dreams I had been living that were not my own, or I had long ago discarded and yet they were still impacting my daily decisions. I found support, encouragement, inspiration and tons of Joy in every class. Not long ago I ran across a journal letter I had written to myself 10 years previously to be read 10 years in the future. The moment and the reason for the letter flooded back to me and the wish from my past self to my future self to live my own dream had come true. Thanks Joyce! ~ Beca Lewis, Author of "Living in Grace: The Shift to Spiritual Perception"

What a ray of sunshine emanated from the speaker that night. With her gorgeous white hair, and flashing hazel eyes that immediately said, "Anything is possible!" I had to meet her. Joyce was a spark,there was no doubt. I sat with the others on the mats (we were at the Rancho La Puerte Spa) listening to the her explain the power of clarity, and how progress toward our goals was enhanced through the art of journaling. My life was changed. That was twelve years ago. Her influence has helped me to leave a worn out career years earlier than my peers, and reach my own dream of owning a B&B (check out www.greenappleinn.com).

As a writer who had the good fortune to attend one of Joyce's public appearances, my spirit was uplifted by her encouraging words to trust my writing in connection with my first book and not judge or have expectations about its completion. She shared willingly from her heart what she went through until her first book was published and was a breath of fresh air for me at a time I was wrestling with a major dose of self-doubt.

I'm delighted to say I did keep my intention and focus. My personal editor is working with me to prepare my material to submit to one interested publisher for their consideration.

Joyce's guidance and gentle strength made quite an impact that night on this aspiring author. ~ Peg Ford

Joyce Chapman was able to assist me in articulating my dreams both personally and professionally in her one-on-one coaching sessions. She gave me several innovative tools to express and manifest my dreams. Joyce is full of energy, talent and enthusiasm. She is a most amazing individual. ~ Nadine Kassity-Krich MBA, BSN, RN  ~ Healthcare Consultant

I attended a Home Study class that Joyce led. Right away you notice her comforting presence. She is an incredible facilitator. She is charming, insightful, sincere, motivating, and inspirational. She is a true role model for helping you to create and live your dream!!!  ~ Susan Bill, Coronado,CA 

I’ve been working with Joyce Chapman for two years. First through her “Live Your Dream” program via home study, then I continued to personal coaching to empower me to live my dream.

These two years have been extremely intense for me; with thousands of hours of working on personal growth with Joyce via emails and on the phone. There was a lot to uncover, examine and of course - take action to change, so I can live my dream. And so much has changed in my world as a result, for the better!

Joyce is the most honest/empowering/sharp/real/simple/complex person I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. She always caught me when I tried to fool myself, and always said the ‘right’ thing to trigger positive action on my part. That’s what’s so amazing about working with JC - she believes in taking action and always moving forward, to the next “dream step”. As she constantly reminds me: talk is cheap.

Joyce is a reality coach. She has empowered me to look at life straight in the eye, see what’s real…and take action. And of course continue to examine my life all the time.

Joyce believes in the healing power of writing every day and since I started to write, I found that this is the most powerful tool for me to dig inside and find what’s bugging me/making me happy… etc.

Throughout the time we’ve been working together, I always felt that she would do anything to empower me to live my dream.

I continue to thank God constantly for giving me the gift of working with Joyce Chapman.

Thanks so much Joyce!
