Build a Good Thing

For people who like things
simple, solid and excellent.

Hi, I’m Joy Lavallee.

I help leaders clarify
who they are, what they do and how they do it best
so they can grow their business while spending time doing what they love most.

We become the best we can be when we’re doing the work we want to do in the way we do it best.

Let’s create something simple, solid and excellent.

It's based on a simple idea:

When people are valued first, followed by prioritizing good work and supportive strategies, whatever is built has the foundation to thrive and grow.

It’s a way of thinking that enables you to build something lasting which improves with time. 

And it makes the process as meaningful as the end goal.



“BUILD A GOOD THING” IS THE FRAMEWORK I USE.

My experiences applying the Hartman Value Profile in Real Life. The free Substack publication covers the HVP assessment, values theory and current examples of people and work through the Build a Good Thing lens.

The paid version, for $6 a month, includes personal experiences and stores in real time as I integrate, develop and experiment with these ideas and principles in my life and work.

This is for people who are in the thick of their own life experiences, know there must be a better way to live and work, and are willing to be a little uncomfortable while they figure it out.

Online communication and marketing for trade and service companies who know that people are the point.

Take the social media stuff off your desk but keep it in house so you always have the final sign-off.

I help trade businesses and service providers grow their companies by sharing who they are, what they are already doing, and why they do it.
