Is there life after grief? “Yes, you can get through this devastating time,” says Eileen Joyce, a Certified Coach and Grief Recovery Specialist who speaks from personal experience. Drawing on the guidance she received from coaching and grief recovery work when she herself experienced loss, she offers ways to move from “stuck and apathetic” to getting back in action and reconnecting with your innate passion and the joy of serving. Her powerful, reassuring talk teaches you how to move through experiences such as loss of loved ones, divorce and single parenting and to help others do the same, using some of the same coaching skills that made a crucial difference in her life.

Eileen’s talks are not just for those who are going through intense life changes—they’re for co-workers, caregivers, spouses, partners, and friends as well. Do you know how to truly listen to a co-worker or client who needs to talk about a life-changing experience?

The interactive conversation Eileen has with her audience demonstrates how to listen in a way that puts others at ease and encourages new levels of communication. Plus, tapping the skills that coaches use gives you the confidence to open a conversation with a friend or colleague that you may be avoiding—at great cost to you and your business or personal relationships.

You’ll leave Eileen’s empowering talk knowing that you need not be unproductive or stuck if you’re currently experiencing loss. You’ll leave with new tools to help others open up and keep communication flowing even in the most challenging of times.

Eileen's talks address:
- Grief and the steps to recovering from any of the forty major losses
- Coaching and how it is a powerful tool in all relationships and especially with those we love the most
- Managing difficult issues in parenting, in the workplace, in your family: Shifting a conversation that gets nowhere to one that can make all the difference
- Moving from the pain of grief and loss to the joy of fully participating in life
- Being fully expressed and effective in your personal and business relationships

Presentations include: Customized for each audience.  Offered as half day and full day workshops

Coaching: Conversations That Can Make All the Difference in Everyday Life and Work

Eileen reveals the “secrets” that certified coaches use to listen effectively and ask questions that help others communicate what they feel. You’ll learn to let go of your “strategic mind”—the part that wants to solve the problem—and simply listen instead. This practice alone can shift an ordinary chat into a talk that brings out something new or hidden—that “missing piece” often left unspoken that can make all the difference in moving forward.

Getting to the Heart of the Matter 

Grief and loss is about a broken heart, not a broken head. The heart needs the safety to express the pain and anguish after a loss of any drastic change in life circumstances. You’ll learn what it takes to create safety for yourself and others to take the first steps of healing the heartbreak from any of the forty major losses a person can experience. Eileen debunks the myths that can keep a person stuck after losses that have occurred either recent or long ago.

Grief Recovery: Moving from Pain and Anguish to Power and Passion for Living

Telling the truth about the pain we may be suppressing becomes a necessary step in recovering from grief and loss. By learning how to move forward you’ll discover what it takes to heal a broken heart. Eileen shares her story and opens hearts to their losses and passion. As we begin healing, we once again feel our passion and regain the energy to help ourselves and others.

Creating Fulfilling Relationships From a Foundation of Truth

By moving from having the answers to discovering what may be missing, we build relationships based on the truth not unrealistic ideals. You’ll experience a conversation to explore and discuss choices. Delving into the process of setting rules to live by, Eileen helps her audience to understand how we gain the strength and respect needed to empower ourselves and people in our lives.
