PRAISE FOR THE JOY IN BUSINESS

"Joy Baldridge has an infectious enthusiasm blended with a wealth of business experience, and she has delightfully brought the two together in The Joy in Business. Some of her wisdom pearls were acquired early in life from her successful businessman-continuous-learner dad, and the rest from a lifetime of observing the human condition in corporate America and beyond. And so, whether it's learning about the 'purple break'-- as a means of reenergizing body and soul, or 'salting the hay, '--a metaphor for creative adaptation--you will find The Joy in Business a delightful guide to a better, happier and more effective tomorrow."
--CHARLES V. FIRLOTTE, president and CEO of Aquarion Water Company

"We saw a ^$500k ROI in the first two weeks because what Joy teaches actually worked in the field from the very first day. Joy's background as a linguist, combined with her personal success in sales, lend credence to her real world strategies--which were easily adopted by our team."
--ANGELA KREPS, vice president of Strategic Business, Sekisui XenoTech LLC

"If you want great advice that you can actually apply to your own life to make it even better, The Joy in Business is a must-read. I loved reading this book! This is not just an ordinary book that regurgitates what you've heard in the past, this book offers great actionable tips that you can apply immediately to your own life to make it even better! I especially liked the Purple Break. I'm using that! I also really like how the book sounds. The way it's written makes it sound like Joy is talking to me personally."
--NICK 'SUNSHINE' TOKMAN, seen on Deadliest Catch and celebrity keynote speaker

"For me, Joy's delightful book, The Joy in Business, is like a bowl of bites of positivity. Using her 'Flip and Point' method, you don't have to eat the whole bowl at once, just take a bite when you feel the need. The ideas and tips in this book are quick and effective attitude boosters. Joy does it again!"
--JOE CALLOWAY, author of The Leadership Mindset

"I have known Joy for several years. I hired her to coach and train our management team. Joy's advice is spot on. She not only motivated my group but led them down a path we had never been. We like what she did so much we worked with her to develop a whole new management training program completely customized for our group. The results where staggering. She moved the needle. We got our managers to another level. I couldn't have been more pleased. Joy is an outstanding and true person. She comes from a place where other speakers/authors don't and helps all immeasurably with her innovative tools."
--KENT HANLEY, CEO of Coldwell Banker, Howard Perry, and Walston
