If you want to become a great leader, you must first learn to become truly VULNERABLE.
Relationships grow through pain and hardship.
Relationships are formed through shared experiences.
Your pain and hardship, shared with others, can be the catalyst to transforming your relationships, your ability to lead, and your impact on others.
Your story has power.
Your experience has meaning.
Vulnerability is the key to unlocking life-changing value for yourself and the world around you.
Joel will inspire you to examine yourself, to be honest about what you see and who you ultimately want to become, and then to take a journey of growth that will leave you and those around you truly changed.

July 17, 2023I was at a recent event and Joel talked about vulnerability. Honestly, he hit it out of the park! Even though the event was a “business networking” event, his talk covered and applied to so much more than just career. If you’re looking for a top-notch speaker to connect with your audience, Joel is your guy!

July 6, 2023Listening to Joel speak is thibking, “Write that down, that’s stinkin’ genius. I gotta remember that,” every couple minutes. Somehow, the way he words things just clicks. His energy and authenticity leave you feeling finally unstuck and pumped to lead better than you ever have. I’m not sure what it is about him, but he’s engaging for sure!

Keynote Speech Title: "A Risk Worth Taking"
If you're like most people, there's a narrative in your head that continues to tell you a devastating lie:
"If people knew who you really are, they'd leave you...they'd reject you...you are not enough...you are never good enough."
So what do we do? We become someone else. We become what others want us to be, and we lose who we really are.
In this thought-provoking keynote, Joel challenges you to become the authentic version of yourself, and explores how doing so will forever leave you and your personal and work relationships changed forever.

Keynote Speech Title: "The Obsession Metric"
You're probably tracking the wrong KPIs.
Or too many KPIs.
Getting your entire organization rallying around what matters most is crucial to create fully engaged, bought-in, and motivated team members.
Joel shares how to create an "obsession metric" for your company or organization, why it's important, how to choose the right metric that motivates, and the unbelievable (but true!) culture change and business impact you'll experience along the way.
I have a 17 year career in sales. At one point in my career I increased my annual income by 1000% in 5 years. I started a company with three fortune 500 C-Suite executives. Global consultancies and PE Firms call me consistently to get my opinion on digital transformation, culture change, and technology implementations.
Ya know what, can I try introducing myself again? Sorry...
I never wanted to be in sales, but here I am and I don’t even know what else I’d do. I constantly wrestle with imposter syndrome and self-doubt. My identity is too often tied to my professional success or failure. I’ve struggled with addiction. I’ve been millimeters from a divorce. I often feel like a terrible father. I’m terrified of being abandoned.
Which of my introductions made you feel more connected to me? Understood? Comfortable to be yourself? If you're like virtually everyone else, my vulnerable self, my authentic story resonated most with you.
And yet, if you are like everyone else, you live with walls up around you, walls you've built to keep you "safe", which ultimately stand in the way of the very relationships you desperately want in your personal life and at work.
Join me to discover "The Risk Worth Taking", and transform your life.
