“My biggest takeaway from these courses, in terms of my coaching experience, has been the power of deep, active listening - not just hearing what is being said, but tuning into what is not being said as well. I realised that a coach creates a safe space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts openly and honestly.

These courses also strengthened my confidence, self-reflection, and personal growth. I have learned to trust the process more, and to trust the client’s ability to discover their own answers rather than stepping into quickly with advice.

Overall, it has marked a shift from being solution-oriented to being truly presence-oriented and that shift has transformed how I show up as a coach. I highly recommend The Clever Way for its coaching andtrainingprogrammes.”

Attending these two modules was far more than a training - it was a profound personal journey Coaching Essentials - NLP gave me more than tools: it gave me awareness. I began to understand how language shapes reality, both my own and that of others. The practical exercises challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and listen more deeply. I didn’t just learn techniques, I experienced meaningful shifts in how to communicate, connect, and lead.

Then came Accessing Personal Genius, and something truly powerful unfolded. This module felt like reconnecting with my intuition, creativity, and inner strength. It helped me see my patterns with greater compassion and recognise the unique talents that define who I am. I left with renewed clarity, confidence, and alignment with my purpose.

Joyce created a space that was safe, supportive, and deeply respectful. I felt seen, heard, and encouraged to grow at my own pace. The depth of reflection, the quality of human connection, and the energy in the room made the experience unforgettable. I even chose to continue with additional modules, something I had never initially planned. These programmes did not just teach me coaching; they helped me rediscover myself.”

I had the privilege of being trained by Joyce Clever during my NLP program, andI can say with confidence that she is an exceptional trainer and a truly genuine human being. Her patience, empathy, and emotional intelligence set her apart fromanyone I’veworked with in atraining environment. She approached the program with a perfect balance of professionalism and structure, while still remaining warm, intuitive, and attentive to each participant’s needs. What truly impressed me was her ability to work with people of diverse personalities and learning styles. As someone who is neurodivergent, I often struggle in traditional training settings—many trainers tend to be very linear or straightforward, leaving little room for reflection or different cognitive processing. But she was different. She took the time to understand how each of us learned and communicated, and she adapted effortlessly.

Her high level of empathy and emotional quotient allowed her to connect with us individually without ever compromising the flow of the training. I felt seen, understood, and fully supported throughout the entire program. Her guidance not only elevated my learning experience but also created a safe, inclusive, and empowering environmentfor everyone involved. I am deeply grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she has made on my journey. She is truly an outstanding trainer and an inspiring person.

I had the pleasure of co-delivering several training sessions with Joyce, where she consistently facilitated her parts with genuine passion and dedication. Her energy is contagious and creates an engaging and safe learning environment for everyone involved.

Joyce has a remarkable ability to bring out the best in people. She is an excellent active listener who makes participants feel truly heard and understood. Her passion for Neuro-Semantics & NLP is clearly visible in her coaching sessions, where she skilfully applies these techniques to increase self-awareness and help individuals better understand their own state, mindset, and behavior.

She creates meaningful insights into how awareness and mutual understanding form the foundation for effective communication and effective teamwork. Working alongside Joyce has always been inspiring, and I highly recommend her as a trainer and facilitator.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you’ve done for me since the very first day I embarked on this journey in August. Your support, guidance, and unwavering generosity have touched me in ways I can’t fully describe.

From the moment we began, you have been a steady source of kindness and patience, creating a space where I felt safe to grow, to stumble, and to learn. Your open-hearted sharing of your knowledge and your genuine belief in my potential have been a light of hope and encouragement. You’ve not only helped me develop professionally but have also touched my soul in ways I’ll carry with me forever.

There were moments of doubt and struggle along the way, yet your calm presence and heartfelt encouragement never faltered. Knowing you were there, cheering me on, gave me the strength to keep going when I felt I couldn’t. Your faith in me became a lifeline, guiding me through the toughest times.

More than a coach or mentor, you’ve become a true guiding light on this path. Your dedication to helping others grow is nothing short of inspiring. I am endlessly grateful to have had you by my side, believing in me even when I couldn’t believe in myself.

Thank you from the depths of my heart—for your patience, your generosity, and most of all, for believing in me when I needed it most.

I had the privilege of working withJoyce Cleveras myExecutive Meta-Coach, and the experience was transformative. Joyce guided me through an in-depth review of my Enneagram results, which provided invaluable insights into my personal and professional development.

During our sessions, we explored the "Power Zone," focusing on the four essential powers: think, speak, feel, and do. Joyce's expertise in this area helped me understand how to harness these powers to achieve greater balance and effectiveness in my life. One of the most profound aspects of Joyce's coaching was her approach to self-esteem through the lens of different frames -being and doing.

This perspective was eye-opening and allowed me to redefine my self-worth in a more holistic manner.

Additionally,switching hats to Neuro-Semantics TrainerJoyce introduced me to the concept of meta stating, which has been a game-changer in managing my emotional states and responses. Her ability to explain complex ideas in an accessible way made the learning process both enjoyable and impactful. Joyce's coaching style is insightful, supportive, and genuinely life-enhancing.

I whole heartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and unlock their full potential.

J'ai eu l'opportunité de suivre deux formations avec Joyce : Self Leadership and Accessing Personal Genius et Coaching Essentials – NLP Communication Model, chacune d'une durée de trois jours. Dès les premières heures, Joyce a su créer une atmosphère chaleureuse et bienveillante qui met immédiatement à l'aise. Son style d'animation est dynamique et engageant — pas un seul moment d'ennui en trois jours, ce qui est loin d'être acquis! Les formations sont à la fois passionnantes et très accessibles. Les concepts, même les plus complexes, sont présentés avec clarté et illustrés de façon concrète, ce qui facilite vraiment l'assimilation et l'application. Je recommande vivement Joyce Clever à toute personne souhaitant explorer le meta-coaching et la neuro-sémantique, que ce soit pour un développement personnel ou professionnel. Une formatrice exceptionnelle, autant par sa pédagogie que par sa présence humaine.

As I sit back and reflect on completing Module 1: Coaching Essentials, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude.

​When I first looked at the "NLP for Meaningful Performance" brochure, I was looking for tools to improve my professional impact. What I actually found over these past three days was something much more human. Joyce's guidance through the Communication Model has given me a level of clarity I did not know I was missing and the sessions on calibrating and pacing have already changed how I connect with the people around me.

​Thank you, Joyce, for creating such a safe and inspiring space at The Clever Way. Your approach is down-to-earth and truly impactful; you did not just teach us "coaching essentials," you showed us how to unlock potential in ourselves and others with genuine empathy.

​I am walking away not just with the start of a global certification, but with a renewed sense of purpose in how I lead and communicate every day.

​Heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you Joyce Clever.
