Kelly F. I consider Joyel Crawford to be not simply a coach but a 'Success Coach'. Joyel can pinpoint a person's strengths and then offer guidance on how to successfully launch a professional journey that leads to a career not a job. She has assisted me in turning my passion for Human Resources into fruition as a lifetime career and has served as an inspiration and mentor to me for last 7 years.
Jorge A. Joyel's guidance was instrumental for my career development. Her advice placed me in the right career space for this opportunity I took on 3 months ago. She's a great listener and genuinely cares about my success.
Cedric L. If you’ve ever felt that you were meant to do something, but you’ve never been able to put your finger on what it is…Joyel can help!!! The best thing about Joyel's coaching was the way she was able to connect with me personally, her outstanding knowledge, and her incredible servant-heart! I would highly recommend Crawford Leadership Strategies to anyone who is in a career crisis, needs a job tune up, or assistance with finding their career calling!
Stephen P. I came to Crawford Leadership Strategies LLC in August of 2016 to speak to Joy regarding my current position and an opportunity that presented itself to move my career in another direction. Joy is the ultimate professional. We met for an afternoon. She assessed my current work situation and asked some specific questions. She drew out a lot when it came to personal goals and likes/dislikes of my current position and roles I have held in the past. Once she had all the facts, Joy was able to make an assessment. She advised that it was the right time to move on and encouraged me to apply for the other position. She provided some great guidance when it came to explaining why I wanted this career shift. During the first interview I kept hearing Joy say “Speak from the heart”. Needless to say, the first interview was a success! One week later I was meeting with the department head and 2 days later I was offered the position! I cannot thank Joy and Crawford Leadership Strategies LLC enough for her patience and guidance through this process. Looking forward to my new career beginning September 12!
Marlene E. I have known Joyel for 11 years going back to when I was a Verizon Wireless intern straight out of college; our interactions play on many levels that include mentor, HR representative, trainer and friend. Joyel was present for me early on in my career. As a young woman with very little knowledge on the interview process, she encouraged me to have the strength to ask for a higher salary; this action help to set the tone to be stronger individual. It has made me be an advocate for woman’s rights. She trained me on soft skills and prepared me to think of my position not as a “job” but as a “career” giving me the aspiration to one day to be a leader in the company. As my mentor, she helped me get acclimated to the company’s culture. I found it particularly hard to transition and needed that support. My interaction with Joyel has helped me look at mentorship in a different light and something that continues to shape me even today.
