LEAD A LIFE
you LOVE

Lead differently. Live Joyfully. Transform how people show up in work, leadership and life – starting with you.

I teach The Joy Method™, a powerful approach to leadership, work, and life that helps people create deeper connections, stronger teams, and more meaningful impact.

Whether you're leading an organization, a room, or your own life, this is where a new way begins.

You’re In The Right Place If…

You’re already a leader, but something feels like it’s missing.

You might be:

  • Leading a team but feeling the disconnect

  • Successful on paper but craving more meaning and energy

  • Holding space for others but wanting deeper tools

  • Ready to lead in a way that actually feels aligned

You don’t need more pressure, strategy, or performance hacks.

You need a different way of leading.

A Different Way of Leading

Most leadership models are built on productivity, performance, and pushing through.

But real transformation doesn’t happen there.

It happens when people feel:

• Seen
• Safe
• Connected
• Energized
• Aligned

That’s what The Joy Method™ creates.

The Joy Method™

The Joy Method™ is a practical approach to leadership and facilitation that integrates connection, presence, and meaningful transformation into how we work and live. It is the foundation of everything I practice, teach, coach and facilitate.

It’s the philosophy and approach behind:

  • Joy Sessions

  • Facilitation + workshops

  • Coaching + consulting

  • The Daily Joy Practice + Journal

  • The Joy Nest

  • The Facilitator Certification

This work comes to life through experiences, practices, and spaces that help people reconnect, lead differently, and create meaningful change.

This isn’t something you just learn.

It’s something you live AND lead from.

Hi, I’m Jillian

I’ve worked with leaders, teams, and individuals who are doing all the “right” things, but still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled.

What I’ve seen over and over again is this:

Joy isn’t a luxury. It’s a leadership advantage.

Everything I’ve created—from workshops and facilitation to coaching, daily practices, and certification—is grounded in The Joy Method™.

This work is about helping people reconnect to themselves, lead differently, and create meaningful change in how they live and work.

Kind Words

  • "The tools and techniques I have learned helped me to be a better leader, and have helped me and my team deal with the various hurdles that come with being human and trying to do our best."

    My personal happiness has improved, and I am able to deal with the vagaries of entrepreneurial life with more equanimity. Or I do better under stress. And as our staff has gone through their own roller coasters, Jillian has helped to provide them with tools to make them more successful. Yes things happen. But how we respond to it is the key, and Jillian’s tools help us respond better. And I get to look like a hero for investing the time and resources to help my team perform better in their work lives and their personal lives.

    CHRIS F.

  • "Before working with Jillian I had limiting beliefs around money and success. I was constantly worrying what others would think and stuck in the people-pleasing mindset."

    Through our work together I broke out of the people-pleasing loop and implemented boundaries around who I am accepting as clients. I increased my prices, although I had fear creep up, I pushed past it in order to up level my business. My confidence has increased immensely and I have gained many tools in life and business that will continue to help me going forward. I am able to acknowledge and work through what I am going through instead of avoiding and disassociating.

    EMMA J.

  • "The daily Joy Ritual I created is one I continue to rely on today to set myself up for success in experiencing the greatest amount of Joy possible."

    Since engaging in the program, I have left a job that was not serving me, I have started living my passion and promoting my own business and most of all, I have been able to envision and dream for the first time in years! I am putting things out into the universe and she is responding fiercely! I am able to ask and receive in an authentic and compassionate way. I attribute much of this to how the Joy Method has reinforced and supported other habits that I employ to find and maintain Hoy in my life as I continue choosing my tomorrow.

    JODIE B.

  • "Jillian Schecher recently spoke at an event that the Women in Residential Construction Committee put on and WOW! Just WOW!"

    I thought I knew what to expect but she went above and beyond! It was so inspiring to listen to her and everyone was buzzing with Hoy and positive energy afterwards. You could feel the shift in the room. So much of what she said affected me personally and truly hit home. I've struggled to find Joy in my life in the past, but after hearing her speak I am excited to start my practice of Joy, to start the next leg of my growth journey. I would strongly recommend Jillian to anyone who is looking for a motivational speaker that will light the room up!

  • "I can't say enough about how valuable it is to have help from a professional and Jillian is f**king IT."

    Such a real person with sooooo much knowledge and soul (fellow Cancer so you know I was held throughout our time). Investing in yourself can be scary, it's an ass pucker. It can feel like you are pushing through some intense sh*t. And to be honest when I first heard about coaching I thought it sounded cool but like I'm broke so how? The money will find you. I'm not joking. It's life-changing. Kinda like stopping to take the rock out of your shoe. Getting to manifest your life is the coolest sh*t! We all have dreams that feel wild and never achievable but it is. If you have the idea, you're already there. Now you just have to take the path to get there. Having a coach is like the friggin flashlight lighting up that pathway and the friend to pick you up when you stumble. I FRIGGIN LOVE YOU JILLIAN!!!"

    SARAH G.

  • "My journey with Jillian to be described in three words: vulnerable, joyful and compassionate."

    She helped me to realize the value I have in myself. She guided me through various exercises to see the light in myself. I started to see “me” and see my worth not only in business but I’m myself. What surprised me the most is when we raised my pricing, no joke! The very next day I booked 3 ideal clients with my new pricing.

    I uncovered some shadows that were no longer serving me and I said YAS to all of them!! Jillian is a kind, straight shooter kind of gal and I couldn’t have been happier with my journey with her!
