Meet Joy

Joy Patton, Ph.D., is a confidence coach who specializes in leadership and career transition coaching. She has served in leadership positions throughout her 23-year career as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force. As her way of giving back, she offers pro bono leadership coaching to new squadron commanders in guard, reserve, and active duty. She was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, lived in Tehran, Iran prior to the Iranian Revolution, and attended North Campus International School in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Patton is also an adjunct professor of international relations and intelligence studies at American Military University and a visiting faculty member at the Defense Acquisition Universityin Fort Belvoir, Virginia. In coaching, she uses her in-depth research in psychological profiles of leaders to understand the variables that affect an individual’s ability to survive and excel in challenging environments. Her book  Predicting Leader Survival in Covert Operations from Congo to Cuba explores the factors that led to a leader’s ability to survive a covert action operation. Her leadership and career transition coaching explores the deep-rooted, limiting beliefs that can hold people back from reaching a life of their own design. Patton graduated from the Georgetown School of Continuing Studies’ leadership certificate program and holds associate certified coaching credentials with the International Coaching Federation, as well as  a doctorate in political science from the University of Southern Mississippi.
