JWP Leaders Program & Retreat

Lead with

Joy

Transform Your Work—and Yourself

For leaders who are ready to make a real impact, the JWP Leaders Program is a 4-month cohort-style, virtual training, and personal development program. With the Joy Ambassador as your guide, you’ll get the support, clarity, and tools needed to build a culture of joy within your organization.

Secure Your Spot

You’ve already built a strong foundation and achieved success, but you’re not one to settle.

You’re committed to creating a workplace where people thrive. You’ve implemented changes and made real progress—but you want to go beyond fixing problems to building a workplace culture that’s joyful and inspiring.

You want more—more impact, more growth, more influence.

You’re driving cultural change, but despite your efforts, you’ve hit a plateau. The usual strategies aren’t enough anymore. The challenges seem bigger and you’re feeling the pressure.

You didn’t take on this leadership role to burn out— you want balance.

As a leader, you’re making tough decisions, you’re the motivator, and the one everyone depends on—but who can you turn to for real support and advice? When do you get to focus on your growth? You need a community of leaders who get it, offering insight, accountability, and real solutions for your challenges.

Shifting your organization’s culture beyond its current limits isn’t impossible—it just requires a new approach.

Does this sound familiar?

You're Facing Resistance from Others

Despite your best efforts, others in your organization push back on changes, making it challenging to do what you know is necessary.

Your Personal Growth Resources are Limited

You’re eager to lead with impact, but you feel held back by limited resources or support, hindering your own development and the culture you aim to cultivate.

You're Unsure Where to Begin

You're an educator, well what do you teach?

I teach amazing college students. My doctoral background is in ethnic studies and critical gender studies. My research interests are critical race theory, queer theory, feminist epistemology, gender, religion, and love (yup I love talking about love). So that means I can teach a wide variety of classes on everything from feminist social movements and introduction to Black studies, to women in hip hop and religion, culture, & freedom. My education gives me a unique lens that I use to create bridges between theory and praxis. This is an invaluable benefit to my clients because it helps me teach complex concepts to people in fun and accessible ways (fun being the keyword.
Why do you call yourself the Joy Ambassador?

I call myself the Joy Ambassador because I am the champion of all things joy! I believe joy is essential—not just the reward we get after working hard, but part of the journey itself. I am committed to promoting joyful living and helping people like you reimagine your relationship with work, turning it into a source of joy and sustained fulfillment.
What’s a joy break?

A Joy break is an intentional break that you take during your day to do (or not do, that’s just as valid) something that makes you happy & brings you joy. A joy break challenges our society’s obsession with being productive, with extracting our labor, and the pressure to be “on” and “available”. It acknowledges that taking a break to rest or do something purely for joy’s sake is its own form of liberation. The multi-trillion dollar self-care industry will have you believe that when we take a break it needs to be something glamorous, worthy of a story to tell. However, joy can be found in the simplest of endeavors. A picnic at the park, a nap, or catching up with a friend; just as they can be found in the greatest of luxuries. A Joy Break encourages you to cultivate healthy boundaries with your work and shield your eyes from the faux luster of hustler culture. Because you are meant for more than work. 💕
Why does joy in work matter?

Joy in work matters because it shapes our lives, both inside and outside the office. People are no longer willing to settle (and rightfully so) for toxic work environments—1 in 5 employees will walk away because of a bad work culture. Happy, fulfilled people don’t just perform better; they’re more collaborative and less likely to burn out. With 57% of employees struggling with work-related stress, prioritizing joy isn’t just a perk—it’s essential for building healthier, more sustainable workplaces. For small business owners, joy means you don’t have to choose between a successful business and a meaningful and joyful life. Whether you’re on payroll or signing the checks, you deserve work that brings you to life…that gives you joy. That’s exactly why I’m so passionate about what I do.
