DOREEN ROMAN CVBC, Manitoba, Canada   
“Joyce is an awesome person and teacher.  She goes out of her way to help each of us received the requirements she has set down to become Certified Vision Board Counselor.  As a mentor, Joyce has wonderful suggestions, listens to what her students have to say, and really hears them. I would recommend the CVBC workshop series because I believe it is a great series.  It is simple to use.  I like simple.”

 

SHARON SHENKER CVBC, Montreal, Canada 

Joyce is beyond a doubt, the most energetic, stimulating and creative teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning a new skill from. Her detailed knowledge of creating vision boards is only a small part of all that she shares with her students at The Vision Board Institute. I truly enjoyed the stimulating tele-conference classes I took with her to become one of her first Certified Vision Board Counselors.” November 3, 2009

.Eileen Flagg I can't believe how fast the time flew by. From the first class I didn't know anything about vision boards and now, I feel like I've been doing them forever. I'd been planning the final vision board in my head for quite awhile until it came together, and when it did, it was pretty powerful to sit back and look at the final product. I became more in touch with my spiritual being after completing this class. Thank you Joyce.

 “Joyce was my teacher and mentor as the owner of the Vision Board Institute, where I became a Certified Vision Board Consultant. Joyce is one of the most creative teachers and marketing geniuses I have ever worked with in my 60 years as an artist. Her book, "The Vision Board" is a best selling masterpiece. I am very grateful to Joyce for all the inspiration and techniques she taught me during the Vision Board certification course,” August 3, 2009

Rae Hight:   learned a great deal during the VB course and feel qualified to teach VB workshops and classes in a number of different                situations.  Joyce Schwarz is dynamic and passionate about her work and generous with sharing pointers, tips and resources for the growth and success of her students

 

 Dr. Sheri Wallace, Gainesville, Florida

The CVBC program offers the added benefit of assisting me in developing products and programs and marketing them effectively, while having access to the creative products of others in the program._ I believe there is a lot of value for the money spent on the program I enjoy the creative aspect of the course networking with others, and the opportunity to co-teach.  I’ve only had one private session so far with Joyce, but am overwhelmed with the wealth of information she willingly shared and all the ideas I got to follow up on.  I look forward to further consultation at the end of the class would recommend the CVBC series to anyone who is serious about doing this work and who is willing to have their creative spirit ignited.  The opportunity to be part of the network and have access to the ideas and products of the other CVBC—and to have them market my products—is priceless.”

Tina Nies,
Joyce’s personal approach in teaching her Vision Board Coach Certification course helped me create amazing vision boards for new projects in my own life. Her passion and experience are evident as she offers awesome insight about the pictures and words an individual chooses as they create their vision boards.  I’m very excited to begin helping entrepreneurs create Vision Boards as part of their business planning process. Thank you for your support!

 

Teri Shulte CVBC, Houston, Texas

“Here’s what I really liked: The classes were informative, resourceful, enlightening, inspiring and fun * the podcasts with other guests were informative and the opportunity to do co-teaching was exciting. Plus of  course, Joyce’s knowledge, wisdom and charisma My target audience will be churches, youth and entrepreneurs, helping as many people as I can to create a vision for their lives.”

“I enjoyed learning from Joyce very much.  She provided me with many thought-provoking ideas and suggestions, challenging me to better myself. More than anything, Joyce touched me with her authenticity, sincerity and willingness to share what she knew.  Through connecting with Joyce and working through the vision board program, I have opened a new window of opportunity.  It allowed me to see how I can integrate two of my favorite interests together – creativity and personal development – interweaving them in an artistic expression for work purposes.  In the process, I have also become more congruent with myself.  I am grateful to Joyce for helping me to envision the life that I hope to create!”

“This was an outstanding class!  I found it to be extremely valuable understanding of how vision boards can help people, how to interact with the students, and how to best teach classes.  Joyce has many excellent pre-board activities that can help people understand themselves and truly enhance the vision board creating.  I would recommend her class to anyone interested in teaching vision board classes in a way that will really impact and change people’s lives.”

Barbara Marville Kelly,
"I enjoyed taking the class, and how Joyce makes hte process of creating a vision board fun, exciting, motivating, inspiring and easy to follow especially for Coaches incorporating it into their program."

Fatima Kola, South Africa
Joyce, I just want you to know how very thankful I am to you.  I really really do wish to meet you in person. Infact, I would not run my first class in South Africa without you and that is my vision for you and South Africa on the whole.

Georgette Cohen,
I am ever so grateful for the opportunity to learn from Joyce Schwarz’s Vision Board Counselor Training Program.  Joyce taught us with the wisdom, savvy and insight that she has gained throughout the years.   Her sharing of personal stories, in conjunction with the exercises, added the practical component to what can be viewed as a very spiritual, yet insightful program.  I feel inspired to begin teaching and sharing these techniques with others – as soon as possible.  Thank you, Joyce!  

DuEwa Frazier, M.Ed.Writer 
Joyce Schwarz, Author of The Vision Board has created a comprehensive course for supporters of the vision board technique, to facilitate and utilize this life affirming tool with others.  Anyone can fit this course within their busy schedule.

Ellie Dilibero, CVBC My experience with Joyce during the CVBC training program has been very positive.  Joyce is available and offers her expertise while commenting on the assignments submitted.  With her successful busy schedule she always makes the time or gives a heads up if there may be a slight delay.  Joyce’s comes across strong, positive and committed in her work at the Vision Board Institute

 Wang Qian Jun,  Beijing, China
Using Skype to connect with the class and Joyce and her guest speakers, I re-energized my career and signed a significant deal with the International Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai that will enable me to emigrate to Canada. All because of Joyce’s contacts in China and her advice on how to position my varied experience.

Helena Trangata, Tampa, Florida area, "As a former corporate exec I found that the Certified Vision Board Counselor course helped me to strengthen my left and right brain thinking. At the same time, it complements my coaching certificate from Compass coaching. Joyce went out of her way to help me prep me for a recent major Vision Board group presentation to a large nonprofit organization of teens. I look forward to using these new visioning skills in offering vision board programs for companies, other coaches & trade groups and conferences in the Tampa Florida area,"

Kelly Williams,
Initially, I didn’t know what to ‘expect’ from Joyce Schwarz’s Certified Vision Board Counselor Training.  Thus, I attended as an ‘empty vessel,’-open, eager, anticipatory…ready to be ‘filled.’ Quickly, I realized that J.S. is a ‘sharp’ woman who ‘knows her stuff’…and she ‘doesn’t apologize’ for who she is and what she’s experienced. Her style is rapid, fiery-yet ‘balanced’ with keen sensitivity and heightened intuition. When you meet up with Joyce, be ‘prepared’ for the ‘emergence’ of your ‘boldest, baddest (this means good!!) self! She won’t ‘let you off of the hook’ by staying mired and stuck in ‘stories that no longer serve you!’ She ‘forces’ you to create a new story…to formulate a ‘new vision’ of love, courage, passion and abundance. For me, my ‘deepest lesson’ I’ve walked away with from the training is that I AM the Alpha Wolf-a Creative, Wild Woman who now feels more prepared to ‘stake her territory and find/create her tribe!’  Joyce Schwarz is a force to be reckoned with!
 
 

Florence Yaeger,
I cannot recommend the CVBC class or the Bootcamp highly enough! the course materials, various speakers, exercises, and advice will change your life, if you let them. What I received in this class was much more than a certification designation…I received the gift of a fantastic, joyful new life!

Cheryl Steineke: I learned so much about myself, what I want to achieve for the rest of life, and the tools to make that happen.  I thought I knew what vision boards were and how to create one, but this book is so thorough, it taught me I was only scratching the surface of the process.  I highly recommend this book and this course to anyone who wants to learn the proper way to create a vision board from beginning to end.  THANKS!

Katina Stapleton: Other the past year, I have used my own vision board as an inspiration to become more active in the Lupus community. I thought to myself, “wouldn’t it be great if I could teach others living with lupus to develop vision boards of their own?” I had no idea how to get started, so I contacted Joyce Schwarz, author of the Vision Board for advice. Joyce was so encouraging of my dream that I decided to sign up for her Vision Board Institute’s vision board coach certification course.  It was one of the best ideas I have had in a long time. Attending Joyce’s course has given me the confidence and skills to launch my Butterfly Lessons Vision Board workshop series for women with lupus this fall
 
Carol Dodsley UK:
Joyce is an incredibly inspirational tutor and shares her passions and experience with ease throughout the course.  I love the way everyone taking the course is invited to participate in helping others to learn & to share their ideas with the class too.


Trinity Thomas
:
Joyce Schwarz’s Vision Board class not only brought the process to life for me in an experiential way, but empowered my own visioning process. Her brilliant work on “the Who of the How” is an opportunity opening concept. Her ability to hear what isn’t said as well as what is during her coaching led to revelatory moments for me and many other students. I particularly appreciated Joyce’s final comments in this course, that she is “holding out her hand” to us; her teaching model feels like the classic “wind beneath my wings” model. Joyce’s deep understanding of the process of focusing on one’s authentic talents, refining goals, and knowing they can be achieved comes from her own authentic ability to create her life and her many years of re-careering and executive coaching. A Vision Board class with Joyce is a chance to give yourself the personal epiphany you’ve been waiting for, to learn to use powerful creative principles on your own

Mikki St. Germain Thank you Joyce Schwarz for an Amazing Class with The Vision Board. It has helped me to succeed in my own journey for my future and given me the vision to what direction I truly desire to travel. I know with your knowledge and teaching, I will be able to offer to my clients another avenue of learning about themselves to grow, change and move forward. I extremely enjoyed your class and feel privlaged to be part of your group. Thank you again ,


Katherine Gerstoff: Joyce understands how to bring the practice of Vision Boards, an authentic expression of the ancient process of visioning, to pop culture and marketing. Her years of experience with media and marketing provide her with a wealth of information and a positive perspective on how to let people know about the Vision Board work in a way that meets them and their innate interests. I greatly value her wide-ranging ability to provide metaphors, real-life examples, and practical applications for the Vision Board work

“Joyce is one powerful, inspiring, visionary woman. In her CVBC training course she gives you effective tips and techniques to create a vision board (or several of them) so your dreams will come true. Joyce impresses me by how she accomplishes so much and yet always is generous, compassionate and helpful. I’m so excited as I’m now watching my goals become a reality, with the help of my  vision boards.”

ENDORSEMENTS FOR VISION BOARD BOOTCAMP:

Phyllis Riggs, St. Louis,Mo
 By using the techniques I learned in the course on matchmaking for business I tripled my monthly income and by six weeks at the end of the bootcamp I was promoted to regional manager of the company I work for!


ENDORSEMENTS FOR DO YOUR OWN PR CLASS also offered by The Vision Board Institute:

: Crystal Russell: crystal@c3crystalclearconcepts.com:
I now have the skills and confidence but couldn’t figure out WHY I wasn’t getting the responses I wanted. Joyce targeted the why and where I was lacking and definitely pushed me to take the steps and immediately correct what I had been doing wrong and gave me credit for what I was doing right. NOTE: Crystal attracted more than 1500 headlines on Google.com in one week using the techniques she developed in the class.

Joyce's teaching style was very conversational and in easy to learn bite-sized pieces, making the stress of doing my own PR simpler and easier to manage for myself. I feel much more in control of my business' PR campaign. I really appreciated her real life examples, all the templates and handouts and the one-on-one attention she gave us in class and in between classes as we needed it. Joyce is a stellar PR expert who makes the hectic business of doing your own PR easier to relate to and do on your own, but not completely by yourself!

Connie Bennett,
By tapping into Joyce’s matchmaking for business network I was able to get a major book offer from Hay House (Louse Hay) in San Diego and source a top literary agent to close the deal even before Joyce’s course was over.


ENDORSEMENTS for the new Accredited Vision Card Reader Course AVR:  

 Nitu Gandhi   Thank you so much Ms, Joyce. You are truly gifted teacher, and your understanding of universe, human beings, and spirituality is astonishing. I love it.   


 .........I love the process of using the cards and prompts to open the mind to new imaginings and insights.......It was obvious how the cards seem to have the power to cut through the subconscious programming of the mind where we revert to old ways AND to stimulate both sides of the brain to achieve a homeostasis state allowing new connections of thought to emerge...The best part is how quickly the tthought empowerment and transformation is achieved. Instead of long draining  discussion,  the exchange is lively, stimulating, inspiring and hopeful which creates a feeling release and renewed energy.How cool is that....it is totally different than howo one usually feels after a team meeting at work or a counselling/ coaching session which often seems to take a lot out of everyone involved.
Linda Beale, CVBC, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio December 2, 2010


  Pamela Jaye Smith - mythologist, author, speaker   Joyce Schwarz did an amazing job of “reading” my selected images over the phone in our Passport to  Opportunity session. She helped me focused right in on current issues and also helped me discover some very old issues that were impinging on my “now”. Her approach is supportive, encouraging, yet honest and thought-provoking – all necessary for positive change. I highly recommend working with Joyce – she holds up the mirror so you can see your better self and head out on the path to you positive future.

 I valued by Joyce's presentation at the Body Mind Spirit Expo -- her exercise touched my heart and opened my eyes to the possibility for the future etc...Joyce went out of her way to share her wisdom with the packed audience...Bella Bell

"It changed my life, I left smiling and with new hope. Joyce helped me revitalize my work and life in one session I'm going to add the defining images, colors and power words to my workspace and home" Gus, printer, Pasadena, California
