A great leader becomes iconic in their industry. They are essential to a business’s success. One that makes quality decisions, knows how to motivate a crowd, and achieves competitive goals is the kind of leadership you want.
Joy Acaso is an Anxiety Support Coach, Licensed Psychotherapist, best-selling author, teacher, and speaker.
She is on a mission to help reverse the global mental health crisis. She has been featured in various conferences, events and podcast interviews for her unique approach that combines brain health, neuroscience and trauma-healing.
Joy hasn’t solidified the next steps for her business. Thus far, she’s been invited to conduct workshops and speaking engagements. However, the majority of her sessions have been online.
She is currently in the midst of securing an office space where she can truly integrate holistic methods in therapy or coaching sessions.
In order to apply these tools, she’d have to show clients their heart variability rate. This approach was pioneered by the Heart Math Institute. She would measure a client's HVR when they walk in. Then, would try out somatic work to release stress and monitor the changes in the client's HVR in the process. This would help them gain a better understanding of the brain-body connection.
“Public speaking is an integral part of my business for two main reasons: (1) It allows you to share insight, debunk myths on mental health and provide valuable resources to individuals and organizations who desire to make mental health their priority. (2) It also allows me to meet people from various industries and develop relationships that turn into collaborations and so much more.”
As an Anxiety Support Coach, Licensed Psychotherapist, Joy states she is excited to be working on a series of toolkits, "Beginner's Guide" because this will include different topics centered on the brain-body connection. She is always thinking about doing projects aligned with purpose of providing high quality care.
We asked Joy why women should attend Flourish Media Conference and what will they learn from her talk.
She shared: “The FMC conference is life changing! It's curated so that women walk away with "I can do this attitude!" At least that's how I feel. No matter what stage people are within their business, they can learn something at the conference. Not only that, the people are incredible from the FMC team, to the speakers and the attendees. My talk is focused on stress and anxiety solutions for entrepreneurs.”
Women will learn how nurturing their mental health will also nurture their business. Joy will be demonstrating practical ways to work with resistance in the body caused by stress, anxiety or trauma. They can dissolve these barriers by becoming more aware of what is happening in their bodies. This is how they can deepen their capacity for achievement.
Joy applied to speak at FMC because she is passionate about talking about mental health. Specifically, the entrepreneur's life can become stressful for many of us. She would like to speak on different evidence-based techniques that women can add to their toolbox. Truthfully, chronic stress isn't good for business and is a huge barrier to success.
Joy wrapped up her conversation with Flourish by saying: she would encourage women to ask for help when deciding where to allocate the business grant. Having an action plan is very important. Sometimes that could look like hiring a team to work with you. It's also a must to celebrate winning the grant!
