A NEW CONCEPT

WATCH THE SHOWREEL 

BEen There Done That?

As is all too common, I was ignoring the quiet desperation of my life, telling myself, “it’s all fine, it’ll all be fine,” all the while allowing the suppressed agony to spew out upon everyone around me, including those I considered most precious, my family. I’ve written an entire chapter in a best-selling book about this. Suffice it to say for now that things were not fine, as I soon found.

This was not my first experience with things I had so carefully put together blowing up in my face, but I was determined it would be the last. It may come as a surprise to our reader, as it did to me, that, upon close examination, the single common denominator to all of these experiences was me. And so I set out to delve deeply into myself, and learn what I could do to change those aspects of myself and my personality that were repeatedly leaving me in this condition.

In the midst of this realization and the beginning of my journey of redemption, I dealt with extracting myself from a fifteen year business relationship (I was by this time acting as General Manager of a friend’s multi-million dollar a year company) as well as finding an amicable end to a twenty year life partnership that had frayed beyond saving due to the aforementioned issues. As a result of the personal growth I have experienced in this journey, she and I are still best friends.

Love and Compassion

Joe’s goal in giving a keynote concert is to create a space where people can feel safe to really look at themselves and their lives, as they listen to stories from his own. The starting point for change is self examination. No, he won’t be asking them to share their intimate details, this is not group therapy! Rather he will be suggesting that they include in their note taking anything that strikes a chord with them, and how it relates to their own lived experience.

Love and compassion are key elements of a life lived in balance, starting with love and compassion for oneself. Extending these emotional qualities to others, to conditions and situations we encounter, and to life itself, are further steps along the way. In sharing his stories and insights, Joe allows others to see that it is possible to shift outcomes by shifting perspectives.

Love and Compassion

Empower yourself to make the shift from the usual default of looking for validation and meaning from outside sources, to the quiet confidence born of deep knowledge of your own self worth and authentic being. 

Possibility

As he shares stories from his life that are alternately poignant, uplifting, or humorous, together with some of the insights he has gained, Joe pulls back the veil and provides a glimpse into the limitless possibilities that life truly offers. Come and feel invigorated and excited about your future.

CHANGING THE STORY

The stories we tell ourselves and others control what happens to a much larger extent than most of us realize. Learn how to shift the narrative, and thus your life’s direction and outcomes. Joe is a natural storyteller. Listening as he weaves his tales will evoke a new, transformative, and powerful way of looking at your own life story.

HEART

When was the last time you were in the presence of someone whose heart was truly open and knew that you were seen? Don’t miss this opportunity to sit in a space of compassion and acceptance, and to be supported and encouraged in looking deeper within yourself for meaning and purpose.

INSPIRATION

Joe’s impact as a speaker is due in no small part to the fact that he is a living example of a renewed vigor and enthusiasm for life that rose out of connecting with his passion for music and  for helping, encouraging, and uplifting others. As he shares his journey from a life lived from the outside in, to now livinging from the inside out, you will be encouraged to ask yourself if there is room for renewed passion, clarity, and vision in your own life.
