"I can’t say enough good things about you and what we’re doing. I mean, come on, you made blogging fun….seriously?!?!?"

Joyce is amazing!! I am a small business owner and I’ve had a facebook account for my business as well as a twitter account, a Linked In account and a blog. I had these things, because that’s what a small business owner does. I wasn’t doing anything with them; I didn’t know what to do with them. In fact, using any of these accounts was overwhelming and wasn’t fun, fulfilling or satisfying at all!
 
Enter Joyce and her abundance of knowledge……she is a MUST HAVE for any small business owner trying to navigate the world of technology and social media!! I can’t say “thank you!!” enough. Not only did she make all of these social media outlets fun, fulfilling AND satisfying; she made it easy. Within on day, I substantially increased traffic to facebook and my blog AND increased attendance in two classes that I am holding at the end of the month. On top of that, she made all of the social media stuff “click” for me. I have a better understanding of how and why to use it and a true understanding of how to reach potential clients. All from just an hour with Joyce….again, I can’t say “thank you!!” enough.

Dear Joyce -
I attended the TAP Symposium today and I had to take a moment to tell you how very much I enjoyed your presentation.  You were, by far, the most dynamic and interesting and timely speaker of the day!

The tools you provided are so helpful and I hope to use them to improve our systems immediately; even though we're doing pretty well, we can do better.

Thanks again for making this symposium well worth the price of admission.

Best wishes,

Jane"

“Joyce was called in at the eleventh hour to help finalize a major report for the State Bar of Michigan’s Judicial Crossroads Taskforce Technology Committee.   Her focus and expertise helped pull  together a comprehensive vision and plan  for the future of court information systems in Michigan.  But it was her energy, enthusiasm and sense of humor that made the experience so enjoyable.  It was a truly a pleasure working with her!”

Donna Beaudet, Court Administrator, 46th District Court/Michigan (May 2010)
"Joyce was my colleague at LSC for seven years, so I got to see her abilities up close and personal. If I were going to hire someone to manage a project, it would be Joyce. She has the unusual ability of being able to manage the details without overlooking the big picture. If there is a flaw in a proposal, she can not only spot it but figure out how to correct it. Most importantly, if she undertakes something, it gets done!"

Glenn Rawdon, Program Counsel III (Technology)
Legal Services Corporation
"As the Board Chair of a federally funded, start-up, non-profit program, I am keenly aware that the the program's accomplishments depend on the wherewithal and success of a relatively green board of directors. Joyce Raby, of Raby Consultants, plays a crucial role in shaping the board of directors and in turn the program. Ms. Raby's utmost professionalism, organizational skills, and her honesty are all key components to the consultant - client relationship. She is able to combine these qualities to ensure successful communication and rapport with, as well as between, the board and the program's Executive Director. Additionally, Ms. Raby is wholly familiar with the special needs of a start-up board as well as with the stringent voluminous and complex federal regulations and funding requirements the program must comply with and she provides sound, competent advice in both regards. In other words, Ms. Raby is really awesome and knows what she is doing!
