Take the Risk

Change Everything

If you want to become a great leader,

You must first learn to become truly vulnerable.

Relationships grow through pain and hardship.

Relationships form 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 unleashing impact within yourself and in the world around you.

​​Being open to being seen, being real, and counting the cost of sharing your story as worth the risk.

​

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.

"The 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.
