Dexter and Dr. Tonya Joyner-Scott met in 1997, when he became her loan officer at a local bank. At the time they were married to their college sweethearts unaware of the losses they were about to experience. Dexter’s marriage ended within the year it started, (a broken heart indeed ) and Tonya loss her husband to brain cancer. A friend of Dexter’s saw Tonya drive by while he was on the phone with Dexter and that triggered him to call and check on her, and from that conversation he’s still checking on her today. They have been married for 21 years and are not only partners in life, but also in business.
Dexter and Dr. Tonya have spent years inspiring, motivating, and influencing people to get out of their own way and instead take a front-row seat in life. They both used to work for the government, but now they are known as the go-to couple for helping people get past limited thinking and beliefs. Spending time with them helps organizations, agencies, entrepreneurs, and churches improve communication and get along better with each other.
Their reputations as talented and inspiring speakers, as well as coaches and trainers for soft skills, are quickly spreading in the business and faith based communities.
Together, they are changing and UPgrading people’s lives by helping them learn skills that improve their relationships and work performance.
As coaches and mentors, Dexter and Dr. Tonya help people move past self imposed limitations, identify and overcome lifestyle blockages, and gain control of their minds. This helps those they serve live lives free of mediocrity, limiting beliefs, and the fear of failing.

Working with the Upgraders has completely transformed my thinking and my life!! I was at a point in my life where I was frustrated because I knew that there was more to life than what I was experiencing!! I wanted more!! I struggled with stepping outside of my comfort zone because of fear. The Upgraders helped me to understand the Subconscious Mind and the Power of my Thoughts. They helped me to identify the blockages that were hindering me from moving forward. They also gave me the tools that I needed to create the life that I desired.

I have had coaching from some great mentors, and the coaching and training that I received from the UPgraders has definitely been some of the best. They taught me so much about how to expand my mindset, helped me to find the confidence to move forward towards success, and identified ways for me to avoid sabotaging my future.

Improve Communication, Enhance and Improve Relationships, and Improve Morale
We all want connectedness as humans since we were born with a relational identity. Wouldn’t you agree? The Godhead is a good example of God’s relationality. His ten commandments for us are relational: one section focuses on our relationship with God, and the second on our relationship with other people. In addition, God’s most important commandment is relational: to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself (Matt. 22:36–40).
People often try to avoid conflict in the hopes that it will go away on its own. But time only makes the wounds worse, which hurts relationships even more. When there is conflict in the church, it can make it harder for the congregation to stay together. Experts say that the only way to solve a problem is to face it and talk about it.
But how?
This is what we’ve learned…
Benefits:
Nothing is more difficult than building and maintaining church unity. Working together is a significant goal of churches all across the world, and the Bible provides insight on how to do it. Effective communication, empathic listening, and conflict resolution are critical to achieving this.
The UPgraders, will help your church effectively blend your different talents and backgrounds, creating an environment of appreciation for the gifts that everyone brings. Prepare for your members or church group/leaders to bring their best selves to every situation while also appreciating what others bring as well.
