Business and personal mentoring

Joy McMahon, inspirational motivator and mentor can show you how to apply the natural "spiritual" laws of attraction for greater success, happiness and abundance in your 9 to 5 career and still maintain a pragmatic approach.

Today's business community is taking on a different attitude about work and service. In the past, each community, region or company might have been a self sustaining unit but we cannot live that way anymore. We have created a society with long reaching interdependence and we rely on each other for survival. If we ignore this reality, negative consequences may follow. Taking in the desire for personal success now needs to encompass the idea of win-win and interconnectedness for everyone.

You will learn in one to one sessions with Joy, how to align your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual intentions so that you can create more success in not only your business life, but in your personal life as well. As an intuitive spiritual mentor, life coach and certified stress management consultant with a ministerial background and over 50 years of studying and the application of spiritual laws in her own life, Joy offers one on one business as well as personal mentoring to Spokane's greater community. Go to joymcmahon.com for more information.
