“Moral standards are on the decline like never before. Even the exhibition of common courtesy is now a rarity in some organizations…I believe that trying to reverse this phenomenon while it is an uphill task is not irreversible if we all work together.”If ever there was a crusader for the cause of social development in Guyana it is Joyce Enid Sinclair.While many have given up hope concerning the breakdown of moral standards and etiquette in Guyana, Joyce continues to not only advocate but to empower persons to reverse this trend.An experienced, results-oriented Human Resource Specialist with extensive knowledge and proven skills in Management,Cheap Jerseys, and a trained educator, author and guidance counsellor, this consultant has combined the disciplines of education, training, counseling and management for the benefit of hundreds of Guyanese youths.Social development crusader, Joyce SinclairOver the last eighteen years she has conducted many successful workshops in Strategic Management, Organisation Development, Customer Care, Supervisory Management, Team Building, Communication, Telephone Courtesy,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Report Writing in commercial banks, large department stores,Cheap NFL Jerseys, airline companies, private sector organizations,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, large and small private businesses, ministries,NFL Jerseys Authentic China, in government agencies and departments, and four international organizations in Guyana.Joyce has also made other significant types of interventions, all in a quest of a higher quality of service delivery.She has co-sponsored with other consultants on workshops in Organisation Development, Human Resource Management, Stress Management and Strategic Management.Joyce Sinclair was awarded the Golden Arrow of Achievement (AA) by the Government of Guyana in 1983 for her contribution to Education and Public Service.In 1989 she was the recipient of one of the 12 Outstanding Women’s Awards given by the Women’s Studies Unit of the University of Guyana.In 1995 she was awarded a special commemorative plaque by the Caricom Secretariat for her “contribution to Caribbean integration through her laudable concern for the Welfare and Development of the Secretariat’s staff”.In 2003, Ms Sinclair was selected as one of the YWCA’s Women of Distinction at an award ceremony at Le Meridien Pegasus.Joyce is the holder of a Bachelors degree General – History, Latin and French from the University College of the West Indies, a Post graduate Certificate in Education from the University of Hull, East Yorkshire England, a Post graduate Certificate in Guidance and Counselling from the University of Western Ontario – Canada, and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from the University of Pittsburgh, USA.Commenting on her passion for ensuring morals and etiquette, Joyce said it was spawned in her home. She recalled that even though her parents were not wealthy, they had a rich upbringing in the observing of courtesy rules and maxims in the home.The second of seven siblings,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Joyce remembers that they could not speak loudly in the home, her brothers could not be bare-backed or they could not chew or talk at the dining table, drink and eat at the same time.“We came from a very humble background. My mother was a housewife and my father a shift attendant at the Office of the Guyana Sewage and Water Commissioners, who did odd jobs to subsidise his salary. My parents were not very educated but they were outstanding in the way that they raised us… Good manners became a natural part of everything we did.”Another thing which amazes Joyce unto this day is the fact that her parents practiced a lot of what she now recognizes to be child psychology in the home even though they never had any formal training in that area.Her training at home was reinforced at school which in those days placed emphasis on morals.“I walk into schools now and students are shouting at the top of their voices; that could never happen back then, students stepped aside and stopped talking out of respect if a teacher was passing”.Noting the almost complete breakdown in standards now, Joyce believes that the key to reversing this disturbing trend is to initiate classes in this regard from the level of the Teachers’ Training College which will in turn be passed on to students.Ms. Sinclair poses with one of her numerous accolades“It should also be part of the curriculum at the University of Guyana; they have laudable programmes there. We don’t only want to have biologists and doctors and lawyers, but we want polite ones.”A former student of the Bishops’ High School, Joyce taught
