Welcome to The Caneelian

Hi, I'm Caneel Joyce, a leadership coach to founders and CEOs who want to change the world. I am the founder of Kickass Enterprises, a coaching and consulting company that helps leaders of venture-backed startups and visionary companies step into their full power, create thriving, iconic cultures, and build world-class businesses. I'm also co-founder of The Trust, a PhD, an ex-professor, a mom of two, a friend of many awesome people, and a former wannabe rockstar.

This is a personal site, where I share ideas and hunches while they’re still forming. My hope is that my little half-ideas can find life out there by combining with yours. I write about leadership, organizational culture, psychology, design, innovation, and the social context of the creative process – and maybe some day help each other create world-changing solutions to meaningful problems big or small.

Surprising things happen when we share. Imperfect as this is I hope this stuff helps somebody out there. No point in keeping ideas to myself. If any of this sparks a reaction I hope you'll reach out to start a conversation or a collaboration.... you never know where it might lead.
