Persist in Joy is an integrated leadership and wellbeing practice supporting individuals, teams, and organizations through moments of change. Our work brings together leadership development, creative practice, and coaching to help people navigate uncertainty with clarity, coherence, and purpose.
We partner with high-performing, visionary professionals—often in industries shaped by constant change—who feel underutilized, misaligned, or at a turning point. Rather than pushing through or starting over, we focus on integration: aligning inner clarity with outer impact so growth is sustainable, meaningful, and self-directed.
At Persist in Joy, evolution is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about strengthening capacity, reclaiming authority, and meeting what’s next with intention and confidence.
When the ground shifts, evolution matters.
“You’re accomplished, capable, and trusted. The question isn’t whether you can perform—but whether your work still feels aligned.
Success is visible. Alignment is quieter.”
