We Curate Joy.
Profound. Simple.
Meaningful Moments that Leave a Mark on Your Heart.
The JoyCatchers™ mission is to activate the Boomerang of Joy in teams and organizations, where presence and care given returns as deeper connection, enpowerment, and lasting impact.
Care is not just a squishy feel-good metric. Did you know that beyond food & shelter, mattering is the #3 driver to all of our human behavior?
As a leader, if your care is not felt in specificity you are missing out on the lever hidden in plain sight to drive success and revenue goals. We make that reach fun.
Organizations invest heavily in benefits, culture initiatives, and well-being programs. Yet many employees still experience these efforts as transactional, overwhelming, or disconnected from their daily experience of work and their day to day.
Care is offered typically in a one size fits all model. For 5 generations in the workforce and the 6th that it touches, our children, that is simply no longer working. This is a $154B loneliness and stress problem that requires a re-think to solve.
The JoyCatchers™ exists to close that gap by designing meaningful experiences and strategic partnerships that help people feel seen, valued, and that they truly matter so showing up at work and life as their best self happens organically & naturally.
"When we relish someone else’s joy, something meaningful happens to us too. Neuroimaging studies find that witnessing others positive experiences actually activates our own reward related regions of the brain. In other words their success becomes our success, their joy, our joy. There’s a name for this kind of shared experience. In Buddhist tradition it’s called mudita, or the pleasure we take in another’s well being. It is the belief that joy & achievement are abundant and that there’s plenty to go around.”
- Jennifer Breheny Wallace, excerpt from Mattering, the Secret to a Life of Deep Connection & Purpose

How Joy Comes to Life
Our Signature Experiences for Teams of All Shapes & Sizes
We create 3 signature experiences that help people answer one powerful question: “Do I matter to you and to this team and organization?”
Yuletide
Our flagship summit experience that puts the humanity back squarely alongside the technology specifically at Open Enrollment for Benefits where it belongs. We remind your employees that they are empowered and can trust you to provide benefits that protect their families at a time where everything in healthcare & the world feels unstable and shaky.
JoyPopUps
Curated custom in-person experiences at any time of the year, a place where you really feel seen and light hearted. We spark recognition, storytelling, and real-time belonging that gets taken back to the workplace and home far after the event ends. You will take your team’s connection point from a 2 when they walk in the door to a 10 when they leave us. The community aspect we provide post event is optimum for lasting impact.
JoyLab
Facilitated live virtual experiences that create connection and shared reflection across distributed teams. These are the best zoom calls of your entire year where you will want to turn your camera on and will be sad to see it end.
We help Joy Show Up Beyond Events: Our Team’s Core Consulting Offerings
We partner with leaders who want to do more around this idea of joy at work, but don’t know where to start.
Culture and Experience Audit, Hands On
We listen deeply to how your people actually experience your organization and reveal where intention and impact could strengthen.
Joy-Driven Engagement Strategy
Not waiting for awards season or top performer recognition we co- create moments of joy & mattering for everyone on your staff. These are intentioned joyful moments that you can sprinkle into your teams day to day to make them extraordinary.
Leadership Advisory
This is an ongoing partnership for leaders committed toward building a long term strategy of micro moments and events beyond just initial consulting.
