Book Joya to Speak

I love creating unique and immersive events. You might say, “Joya, how does that help me in business?” 

I’ve been hosting my women’s events long enough to have been in front of hundreds of ladies. Networking doesn’t come naturally to some. Others get tongue-tied and freeze once in the room. 

I’m creating all kinds of ways for you to have a shared experience as a group. The room is full of women from many different verticals. The networking comes easier because you already had one experience together. You already have handles for conversation.

Writing Retreat in Tuscany

RESERVE YOUR SPOT TODAY

Imagine…


The light in the morning. The smell of warm chocolate coffee greeting your nose, beckoning you to come downstairs. You pad down the stairs in your socks and sink into a plush white couch in the beautiful 900 year old villa that is your home for the next 4 days.

The Tuscan sun warms your shoulders as it filters through the windows. Today, a touch of magic is in the air. The vineyards of Chianti beckon, waiting to share its fruits. reminding you that at 10am, you get write and reflect on this all.

Pinch yourself. Here you are in beautiful Tuscany, immersing yourself in a writing and reflection retreat. You can feel it all around you, turning the act of writing into an unforgettable, even spiritual, event.

Savor this moment. Cherish it ….Write. Create. Experience … Aren’t you glad you came?

Joya Dass partners with friend and author Paula Rizzo to host a writing and reflection retreat in Tuscany May 23-27th, 2023.

We will be incorporating the grounds of the stunning nine hundred year old castle turned villa “Torre di Hesperides” into your reflection exercises. There will be a sumptuous cooking class, dinners each night with a private chef, an olive oil tasting AND experiencing Chianti by bike.

You are also experiencing a new culture.

Why that is important? A previous member came into the year with the goal of getting a promotion by July. Because of our intense work together, she locked it in by month seven. But this meant a culture shift from a largely domestic role to a global role. Plus–she would be building her own culture as a team leader.

We go to an exotic country where the culture is completely different. What does it mean to adapt? What comes up for you?

Dates are Wed May 23-to Saturday 27th.

4 days. 3 nights.

Thank you. I loved this talk by the CEO of Working Mother Media. We don't think about diversity enough!

PUBLIC SPEAKING MASTERCLASS
With my “Command a Room With Authority Masterclass” I share a formula for storytelling. The reason for this formula is that we have 3 brains as human beings. Sharing *just data* or teaching engages two of our brains. A *story* engages all three. It dates back to our ancestors and how they shared information around a campfire. They told —stories. Class is 7 sessions. In each session, you will deliver a 2 minute presentation. This will be a personal story about your leadership and a time that you demonstrated a trait worthy of your role model. Start thinking about the answers to these questions: Why do I deserve to be here? Why I am worth listening to? What is my experience? What subject am I well versed in? What angle do I view it from? One of the surprise side benefits of the class (that I didn’t anticipate) is the community and safe container of women that forms for 7 weeks. Wed., Oct 12th, 19th, 26th, Nov 2nd, 9th, 16th, 22nd 6:30-8PM EST

CURIOSITY: THE SECRET ELIXIR TO GREAT LEADERSHIP WITH DR. DEBRA CLARY
As a kid, I used to drive my dad crazy with my curiosity. But why daddy? Being the parent, the standard answer was "Because I said so." More out of frustration than anything else. I grew up to become a journalist and continued to ask "Why?" Today, I head up a leadership platform for women and continue to ask "Why?" Curiosity drives me as a leader. When our curiosity is triggered, we think more deeply and rationally about decisions and come up with more-creative solutions. Curiosity allows leaders to gain more respect from their followers. It also inspires employees to develop more-trusting and more-collaborative relationships with their colleagues. Wednesday September 7th, I'm in conversation with Dr. Debra Clary, AVP at Humana. She also has three decades of leadership experience with Fortune 100 Companies such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, and Jack Daniels. She will share her 6 tips on Curiosity: The Secret Elixir to Great Leadership ✅ Why curiosity is good for our brains ✅ The top killer of curiosity ✅ How top leaders harness curiosity ✅ How to make curiosity a constant in business ✅ How to make curiosity contagious in business.

HOW TO LIVE A LIFE WITH PURPOSE---AND BE LIMITLESS!
"Don't you miss TV?" I get this question often. For the first 15 years of my adult life, being a journalist was all I wanted. I got of bed somewhere between 2:30am and 3:45 am everyday to do morning TV. I had a fire in my belly for it. Passion. In 2012, I launched a networking platform on the side. 8 women came. Then 30. Then 300. They were all coming to share that they were doing something outside of the Indian parent approved "Doctor, lawyer, engineer" professions. In between my hourly updates on the markets, I began spending all my time working on events for my platform. I understood my purpose. A career on TV was no longer it. Our speaker on April 6th, is Laura Gassner Otting. She wrote a book called "LIMITLESS." In our conversation, we are going to talk about how YOU can find and live a life of purpose. Calling. It's the pull to do something larger than yourself. What fuels you? Why do you do the work that you do? Connection. What would happen if you didn't show up to work today? How much of your work is related to your goals? Contribution How the work you do gives you the lifestyle you want, making you 'limitless' How do you want your work to contribute to the life you want to live? Would you be okay making less money if the work you did was aligned with your values? Control Do you feel that your opinion matters at work Do you know what you do well? Do you have influence over how many hours you work or how much you earn?

DEEP RELAXATION WITH A TIBETAN SOUND BOWL EXPERIENCE
A candlelight evening with members of the Women's Leadership Academy and guests in a private studio. A night of indulgent self care, just for you A new experience Resetting your nervous system, and break from the demands of business Networking with a curated group of women in business Last June, another member of the Women's Leadership Academy and I headed upstate to Cragsmoor, New York, to a yoga retreat. As the sun was setting on the Appalachian mountains, the instructor asked us to lie down softly on our mats. Lying there in the twilight with the large Buddha staring down at us, he asked us a deep question "What do you want from life?" Lucas asked us to focus on our breath, the sensations in our bodies, our emotions and our thoughts. "Only witness and welcome what comes up. Don't get caught up in the thoughts. Because we are more than our thoughts." Then he and his partner started walking around with their Tibetan Bowls. Some small and diminutive. Some large and brash. Each student in the room got a bespoke experience. A different bowl, depending on what body part was asking for it more. I walked out, and away from that weekend, my nervous system 'reset' and ready to tackle the day. My mind clear and relaxed. That week I had some creative breakthroughs with problems I had been mulling for weeks. I was able to problem solver quicker than I ever had. I now bring this experience to you. We're all 'caught up' in the busyness that is New York. Take an evening to dedicate just to you and your self care.

CUT THROUGH THE OVERWHELM AND GET PRODUCTIVE WITH TANYA DALTON
In this workshop, you will discover: The difference between being busy and productive How to reject the pressure to do more, be more, and achieve more How to focus on doing what’s important so you can live the lifestyle you want How to create a map to your ideal future Did you know that your brain is FIVE TIMES more prone to noticing the negative than the positive. Why? Because that negativity bias was the difference between life and death for our ancestors. Thousands of years ago, they faced real fears, like being eaten by a lion. But TODAY, that negativity bias could be torpedo-ing your ability to put 'self-care' in your calendar. Because your mom challenged you when you were getting your hair done at 7 years old. "Who do you think you are?" or someone told you at 13 "You didn't deserve it." Here's the rub. Our brains love order. We are constantly referring to the past so we can guess what will happen in the future. Order. So, how can we short circuit our patterns, our negativity bias and start to make new choices?

HOW TO SET HEALTHY BOUNDARIES with "BOUNDARY BOSS" TERRI COLE
In this workshop, psychotherapist Terri Cole teaches a specific set of skills that can help you stop abandoning yourself for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and consciously become empowered in every aspect of your emotional, physical, personal, and professional life. Since becoming a Boundary Boss is a process, Cole also offers actionable strategies, scripts, and practices that can be used in the moment, whenever you need them. You will learn: How to recognize when your boundaries have been violated and what to do next How your unique “Boundary Blueprint” is unconsciously driving your boundary behaviors, and strategies to redesign it Powerful boundary scripts so you will know what to say in the moment How to manage “Boundary Destroyers”—including emotional manipulators, narcissists, and other toxic personalities Where you fall on the spectrum of codependency and how to create healthy, balanced relationships Are you endlessly giving and doing for all of the people all of the time? Do you feel you are the one people come to when they need something because they know you’ll get it done, no matter what? If you’re nodding your head, then this workshop is for you It's easy to fall into the trap of seeing ourselves and our actions as being “nice” and a “good” person. We’ve been taught to believe that taking care of ourselves makes us selfish and bad. So many of us were raised to define our goodness by putting others before ourselves. When we give from a place of need and fear, what can happen is we end up resentful, angry, exhausted. We can feel like the people in our lives are taking advantage of us and our generosity. Every relationship is a dynamic, which means each individual is responsible for their 50%. We need to ask ourselves, “How can I set healthy boundaries?"

THE ANXIOUS LEADER: TURN YOUR ANXIETY INTO AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS ASSET
Common wisdom says business success requires getting out in public and staying there. You must do deals. You must network and press the flesh. You must eat lunch every day with someone important. You must speak at seminars and conferences. The same common wisdom says that the people who get ahead have brilliant personalities and megawatt smiles. They seldom sleep. They exhibit admirable “grit.” They are extroversion superstars. But our speaker on March 30th says there is another way to go. Extreme introvert and business owner Morra Aarons-Mele offers strategies that can help an introvert work through a business day successfully. In this workshop, you will learn A technique to create "alone time" during the work day to recharge and prepare psychologically for upcoming meetings How to turn anxiety into a “constant companion" and a powerful motivator. How to say "no" and to set boundaries for yourself. For this to work, you have to “tune in” to your anxieties to figure out where you will function well and where you won’t. How to channel introvert traits for sales. How to negotiate. Use a collaborative strategy with two goals: getting a reasonable deal for yourself and making sure the other party feels like a winner. How to manage your time better by working in short, intense bursts. Introverts often fall prey to struggling to reach goals other people set for them. Protect yourself against that pitfall by being mindful about what you want for yourself. March 30th, we have a conversation with Morra Aarons-Mele, author of "Hiding in the Bathroom."
