Joyce is the Vice President of Organizational Development and Training for a Fortune 500 food-retailing company. As an educator and consultant, she deals with a wide variety of people concerns, from the individual's potential on the job to issues of large organizational change. In the future, she will be a guest contributor to Marriage Support - Couples Place. Her contributions in the future will emphasize women's issues drawing upon her experiences as a business woman, working mother, stepmother and partner in a dual-career marriage.

Although infrequently taught, the skills for succeeding in relationship can be learned. Learning those skills can be a stimulating and enjoyable process. Because each of us has the wisdom of experience, we can all help one another learn and grow. The Internet offers extraordinary opportunities for bringing people together in learning communities. Inc. Joyce and I hope eventually to do Relationship Adventure Workshops under its auspices and to use it as the publications vehicle for books and pamphlets on marriage and couple relationships.
