Clarity

Caneel Joyce

Los Angeles Area

I help CEOs, founders and other humans learn to lead as whole and integrated people who are equipped to welcome anything with ease, clarity, and authenticity. I'm the creator of Allowed Academy and host of the top-rated growth podcast, Allowed.

I coach executives one-on-one and as cofounder partners, and teams.

I help teams address conflict, tension, indecision, velocity, clarity, decision-making, delegation, culture drama and toxicity, communication issues, feedback, collaboration, vision setting, OKRs, and all human-related aspects of leadership and management.

I also facilitate team offsites, do 360-degree feedback reviews, and guide all kinds of people through a 3-month Zone of Genius discovery process (within Allowed Academy, caneel.com/yes).

About me: I am a mom of two, a seasoned leader, a Silicon Valley veteran, a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior (Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley), and a deeply experienced coach, facilitator, and CEO advisor. Personally love: change, technology, science, psychology, design, product strategy, art, mischief, dancing, wine, yoga, dinner parties, backpacking, and keynote speaking.

I'm in this for the love of people and my mission is to bring millions of people into the experience of conscious leadership, where they are leading in their whole lives, as their whole selves - bringing their unique forms of genius to the world, from love.

Coaching for CEOs, Founders & Executive Teams

I coach CEOs, founders, and executives to lead in a powerful, dynamic and boldly authentic way. This creates alignment, ends drama and blame, accelerates results, and creates joy and aliveness in their lives and in their companies.

I also work on your relationships - coaching teams, leaders, and cofounders to break out of drama and operate as high-performance teams who can make aligned decisions quickly and easily and feel great about leading together.

Discover Your Zone of Genius

You have a Zone of Genius that is uniquely yours. It is a way of being and a set of activities that you have naturally always been great at, where success and fulfillment come easily, and were you are reliably energized, inspired, confident, and in flow.

If you are achievement oriented, chances are you are living much of your life in your Zone of Excellence, where you are great at it but you also need to work very hard for your success. In this place you feel mostly happy and sometimes stressed, anxious, burnt out, overwhelmed, tight, or unfulfilled. You are self-conscious and distracted at times away from the work itself because you're concerned about what others think of you.

I can help you identify your Zone of Genius and shift your career so that it capitalizes on that Zone. You don't have to suffer to succeed, and your path is much clearer than you think. I've taken many leaders and non-leaders find their true calling and strengths and I'd love to help you too.

Physical Product Design: is there guidance/books on how to focus on only the most essential features that deliver the most value? (80/20...)

Great question! Here are the basics:

The Lean Startup by Eric Reis

Running Lean by Ash Maurya
http://www.amazon.com/Running-Lean-Iterate-Works-Series/dp/1449305172/ref=pd_sim_b_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=03VER05GWM6QV80D49ZH

*the bible!

Lean Customer Development by Cindy Alvarez
http://www.amazon.com/Lean-Customer-Development-Building-Customers/dp/1449356354/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1429290160&sr=1-1&keywords=customer+discovery+validation
*focused on methods you'll need to use to validate feature and value prop ideas

When in doubt, **stop debating**. You are not your customer. Get out of the building. Don't build unless you're testing what you build, and ready to throw away what you build when you get answers.

Good luck! Books are helpful as background, but for specific advice on where you and your company specifically should invest time, set up a call with me.

Customer Experience

Caneel Joyce answered

Looking for name recommendations for a project about having great conversations.

That depends on what is unique and "evergreen" about your approach. A lot of companies exist to encourage conversation in the workplace. I'd focus not on the product's features but on the end result - the benefits, and in particular, the emotional benefits of using the product.

For example, Clarity.fm supports conversations but it's not called "Expert chat" - what a boring brand that would be! Instead they have chosen the territory of "clarity", which is the feeling you WANT to have when you have finished using the product. It's the brand's promise. I am willing to speak with an expert, and to pay them, when what I want above all else is Clarity. I could hunt for answers on the internet, but it's often overwhelming with a lot of conflicting advice. When you speak with an expert however you feel a sense of clarity.

So for you, what is the unique value prop? What is the feeling you are promising to create? Happy to discuss. Calls with me are free right now. Give me a ring and we can brainstorm.

Certainly one of the most informative calls I've been on! Caneel helped provide a step by step road map of some of the things that we need to do moving forward and this clarification will be extremely beneficial to our strategy going into the immediate future! Thanks Caneel, we will reconnect soon!

Perceptive, kind and on point! Caneel was able to quickly get to the bottom of a difficult situation, put me at ease, and succinctly recommend a workable solution. In a short call she earned my highest recommendation! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Jay Moneta Source: Clarity

I recommend Caneel for her compassion, listening skills, and creative ideas. She did the research on my company and came up with kick-ass strategies to help us grow. I plan to use her services again.

Very insightful

John Solamito Source: Clarity

Caneel was able to quickly grasp the nature of our complex problem. She jumped back and forth easily between explaining some of the basic fundamentals that we lacked, and addressing the specific nuances of our task. Our problem required bridging the fuzzy world of design with quantitative metrics and Caneel navigated both worlds with ease.

Caneel joined our little startup and totally shifted the way we thought about our customer and how to engage them. Her fresh take on what we were trying to accomplish was a welcome addition to the team.

Her contributions were not limited to the paradigm shift that she initially brought. Time and again Caneel was able to reveal things about our customer, our business model and interactions that flew in the face of what we thought we knew.

She was key in accomplishing everything we did as a team. Her creativity, insight, and generosity are second to none.

Travis Neilson Source: LinkedIn

As a participant in the Haas@Work program, I experienced Caneel's innovative brainstorming frameworks and team building skills. Her energy, out-of-the-box thinking and tremendous leadership enabled our team to exploit everyone's potential in a very short time frame. Her brainstorming techniques were highly effective and I would consider Caneel's expertise outside of the Haas@Work program to help on other business issues.

Caneel is an incredible resource that I didn't realize I needed. Our film production business was struggling with some internal tension around decision making and priorities between production and creatives. Caneel came in and really helped us analyze and understand our group dynamic and uncovered areas that needed attention. Our sessions were engaging and ran smoothly. The work that we did was infinitely valuable and has helped us grow and transition our organization into a tension-free zone.

Caneel is energetic, insightful, trustworthy, and dependable. She has an excellent work ethic and is always up for a challenge. A pleasure to work with, I highly recommend working with her if you have the opportunity.

Steve Kuo Source: LinkedIn

Whether helping you think creatively about driving value for yourself and your organization in negotiations or coming up with the overarching management structure and culture, you can be sure her unique insights will position you right where you need to be – and miles beyond the rest. Seek her insights whenever possible.

Jennifer Hirsch Source: LinkedIn
