Joe did a wonderful job of weaving his message right into the fabric of our culture, emphasizing the need for both individual and team success. He did it in a way that engaged his audience, talking with them instead of talking at them. Almost immediately following his presentation, I received many emails thanking us for bringing Joe in to share his philosophy of how to be successful and be 100% present in your own life.

Joe’s keynote was a great blend of practical, real life experience that allowed the team to more easily recognize and relate to their own opportunities for success, however it also importantly emphasized the need to not let the status quo drive your perception of your own capabilities, to consistently deny the inner thief and that life above the rim was an attainable and sustainable goal. Our team walked away with great insight and actionable guide posts!
