Joyce Chen is a force of transformation—equal parts strategist, storyteller, and truth-teller. She works with high-impact executives, creative visionaries, and industry disruptors who aren’t here to play by the old rules. She partners with leaders who see what’s possible but need a powerful catalyst to bring it to life.
A former tech executive, Joyce spent decades leading in fast-paced, high-stakes environments—including as Global Head of Production at Meta. She’s worked with leaders at companies like Adobe, Apple, Airbnb, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Sony, giving her a deep understanding of the challenges at the top. But she’s not just about strategy—she helps leaders rewire how they think, make decisions, and lead with radical clarity and presence.
Joyce’s coaching is a masterful mix of deep empathy and incisive challenge. She doesn’t just shift perspectives—she dismantles outdated patterns, revealing the unconscious stories that hold leaders back. Her work is about more than leadership; it’s about self-liberation. She helps clients navigate uncertainty, step into their full power, and take radical responsibility for their impact.
Beyond coaching, Joyce is a storyteller at heart. In 2017, she co-directed Refugee, an award-winning documentary amplifying the journey of a West African refugee. The film won eight Best Documentary Short awards, became a two-time Academy Award qualifier, and premiered on Amazon Prime—proving that stories, when told with precision and heart, can change the world.
She holds a BS in Communication from Boston University and has studied fine arts at CalArts and Pasadena Art Center. A certified coach in The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership and an accredited Enneagram teacher, Joyce is a rare blend of business acumen, creative depth, and mastery in conscious leadership.
If you’re ready to see yourself clearly, break the cycle, and lead from full alignment—Joyce is the coach to take you there.

EP 60: Overcoming Your Upper Limiting Beliefs with Joyce Chen
There is nothing quite like deeply seeing and knowing yourself to build trust in your own leadership. It’s confronting to become conscious of the ways you may have been toxic in your leadership and your relationships in general, but somehow this work enables you to accept and even appreciate your own humanity. The material itself is life-changing, but Joyce vulnerably commits to her own growth alongside you. She is profoundly, electrifyingly joyous in her work. Joyce has found her calling, and you can really feel it. She is magnetic and inspiring, and her self-awareness offers an invitation to go deep. I could not recommend Joyce more highly as a coach, facilitator, or just a general love bomb of nurturing wisdom and joy.

Joyce’s leadership coaching has helped us unlock our full potential as leaders, fostering breakthrough individual growth for the members of our executive team, and breakthrough results for our organization. Our communication is more open, transparent and candid, resulting in a dramatic, positive shift in our company culture in just six months. People feel happier, more connected and committed. Joyce's coaching has fundamentally transformed my understanding of what it means to be an effective leader. The work is powerful, fun and uplifting. The results are truly remarkable."
"Joyce is so present it creates a tangible energy field. She brings the focus back to the choices and behaviors that are impeding my energy, and awakening me to how I impede the energy of those closest to me. The resulting realization is - ‘Oh, this is on me to make this situation better…’ How Joyce accomplishes that in a way that makes me feel excited - and not threatened - is fascinating and frankly, elusive to me. If you’re willing to have your full self reflected back at you in a remarkable and honest way, if you’re willing to confront the challenging issues in your life, and you're willing to take full responsibility for creating the improvements you want, Joyce is the coach for you."
"Joyce is a consummate coach capable of unlocking the very best of yourself and your team. Joyce helped me build awareness and break life long patterns that were no longer helpful for me.By using her incredible emotional intelligence, Joyce gets teams feeling alive and conscious. Joyce has transformed how my partners and I build our company. She has educated us and brought to light the best in us to then be our best for one another. I'm proud to say we are a practicing conscious company and would have not been successful without Joyce."
Joyce has helped me to identify and integrate different facets of who I am, in service of who I want to become, unlocking a new sense of agency, potential and aliveness. In just a few months, I feel more balanced, more confident, and more capable than I have before. She has helped me to identify limiting beliefs and recognize and address patterns of behavior that no longer serve me. Joyce is empathetic and kind while bringing a powerful insistence on authenticity and honesty. I look forward to every single session knowing I will feel clearer, calmer and more alive. If you get the chance to work with her, you should.

"Joyce takes executive coaching to the highest level. Her ability to understand and sort through complex professional issues impressed me from the first time I started working with her. Lessons learned through Joyce’s kindness, thoughtfulness, and wisdom have made me a better performer. I’m reminded of this each time I have a difficult challenge or promising opportunity - Joyce is one of the first people I call for advice. Joyce delves into the fundamental way I work, providing objective, insightful observations that add to my perspective and offer new, better approaches to replace familiar patterns that aren’t working for me anymore. You can’t achieve the level of impact and connection Joyce provides without a talent and passion for what you do – with Joyce it comes from the heart.
"What a treasure to have Joyce as a coach. I had been studying conscious leadership group materials and courses for about two years before meeting Joyce. I could not have imagined how much more powerful the learning would be having her at my side to apply the principles to my life. Her Jedi-like insight continues to be such a gift….how can it be that she can pick up on cues that I may have spent the rest of my life missing!?! She is now working with our leadership team, and I consistently receive gratitude from team members about what a life changing experience working with her has been."
