Joy Marsden left the corporate world of marketing and trade relations helping brands like Dolmio and Uncle Ben and became known as a motivational speaker, because that's what her audiences kept calling her. Her messages resonate because they are real and relatable. She blends story, with song, humour and practical ideas to engage and inspire audiences across the globe. She doesn't have a big 'sob story' but many little ones from everyday life that move audiences and connect with hearts and minds to inspire change and help people take action.

 

She has worked all over the world helping individuals and organisations manage new challenges through her ethos of 'Keep Stepping'. She is also a coach and author and uses simple, practical methods to help her clients achieve their goals. At the time of writing she is also just about to take over as President of the Professional Speaking Association of the UK and Ireland and gives real insight into being a member and the benefits of spending time with other speakers.

 

Enjoy!
