Meet Joyce S. Kaye, The Computer Spirit (formally known as The Computer Therapist)-

How is it that the words “computer” and “spirit” end up next to each other? Aren’t computers cold, calculating, and logical? Aren’t spirits elusive, etheric, and creative?

I began exploring the relationship between computer and Spirit years ago when I left the corporate world in search of that “something” missing in my life. As my spiritual practice grew, I found myself missing my time at the computer. How could I have the best of both worlds?

I helped social service agencies with their computer problems and training needs. Then I launched my practice as The Computer Therapist. I taught software applications at the local college in Santa Fe, NM. I got certified as a Microsoft® Office Specialist (MOS). I co-authored a book about Microsoft® Outlook.

These days I'm using my computer skills to reach out to people and build relationships. As I focus on empowering my clients to communicate better, I find Spirit in everything I do. For me, it’s not just about turning out a perfect piece of technology; that piece isn’t perfect unless it touches the minds and hearts of those who receive it.

As a small business owner, computer geek, and people person, I specialize in helping others promote themselves, their business, and their organizations in ways that allow for flexibility while effectively and professionally reflecting who they are. Creating and developing websites, e-newsletters, PowerPoint slideshows, and One Sheets are my specialities.

My life partner and husband, Roger Wyer, regularly assists me in the authoring of clients' materials. We work as a team, very often meeting our clients for a cup of java, whereby we establish rapport, access their true business issue(s), and brainstorm how we might collaborate in helping them move forward. Rog majored in English in college, worked as an editor (it runs in his family), and to put it very simply, is a natural writer. Through our company BizWorks Studio, we self-published his first book, Choosing Joy at Work. It is an inspired and inspirational book that draws on Rog's personal life experiences as well as his adventures as a consultant to businesses and non-profit organizations mostly in the areas of operations, systems, human resources, and continuous improvement.

We can use simple computer tools to customize your marketing pieces in order to get them out quickly. That could be anything from a new web page to an e-newsletter, an updated PowerPoint slideshow, or a batch of ten targeted business cards. But first, we connect and get to know one another, building a co-creative partnership.

If you need help with designing and developing your website, pulling together the pieces around your media and communications material, or expanding your computer skills, you are not alone. Contact me, The Computer Spirit, to light the way.
