Strategic Advising

As a culture and experience strategist, Andrea Joy supports leaders one-on-one, teams, and boards of directors through sensitive moments that require clarity, compassion, and decisive action.

Our ombud-inspired model offers external advising grounded in systems-thinking, cultural intelligence, and care. Joy Brings Light provides discreet, executive-level support for internal alignment and external messaging—helping organizations lead through high-stakes challenges with strategy, integrity, and trust.

We support organizations through two primary pathways:

Culturally-Responsive Leadership Support

For organizations looking to build or evolve culture with purpose and sustainability.

This offering helps teams:

• Align around shared values and leadership goals

• Navigate organizational growth and transformation

• Foster cultures of belonging, care, and trust

• Design intentional retreats, planning sessions, or staff experiences

It’s the right fit when your team is growing, realigning, or reimagining—and needs a steady partner to move forward with clarity and care.

Sensitive Situations & Crisis Management

For high-stakes, urgent, or reputationally sensitive moments that demand strategy, speed, and discretion.

This includes:

• HR investigations, employee relations, and complex matters involving Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

• Interpersonal conflict or leadership rupture

• Internal breakdowns or cultural crises

• Executive-level support for internal messaging and external response

  
  

This is not your typical consulting session—it’s real-time, ombud-style advising designed to help organizations lead through tension with integrity and trust.
