“Joe projects wisdom and serenity, setting the cornerstone for a genuine human connection that you always remember. This is why, three years after our last working exchange, I decided to look again for his professional advice. Only this time, I didn’t need legal or compliance advice. Instead, I wanted to boost my career and I knew I would need a career coach that I could admire for his/her professional behavior. I wanted a role model to mentor me, so I decided to ask for his help and he gladly accepted.

We worked for nearly four months with great results. Joe helped me to gain confidence to make the moves I needed to make, and worked with me nailing my job search strategy. He was dedicated, committed, comprehensive, supportive, and lots of fun. His coaching turned out to be much more valuable than I expected so I can only be thankful to life for giving me the chance to cross paths with Joe.

So if you’re looking for a qualified, well-versed, kind, monk-wisdom professional coach, you should definitely give him a chance. You won’t regret it!”

“Simply put, Joe is a star who exudes charisma, confidence, competence, cool and calm, all while maintaining an authentic humility and concern for his colleagues. I met Joe at KPMG when he designed and taught privacy education modules intended for all levels of KPMG personnel worldwide. It was a high-profile position covering very complex topics, and Joe fit the role perfectly, showing complete mastery of the subjects at hand while patiently answering questions and concerns from KPMG Member Firm personnel worldwide. Joe inspired confidence in his colleagues, combining utter professionalism with genuine human concern for everyone regardless of status. He could swim with the sharks and wear the suits, but never became one.

I also had the opportunity to read a personal development book he wrote, and in case you haven’t had a chance to read his writings, you should. Joe is an excellent writer whose prose flows with style and stunning insight, all underscored with relevant and entertaining personal anecdotes. His writing reflects the man: warm, personable, funny, and brilliant.

Most importantly, though, I would like to recommend Joe the friend. In this time of COVID, when junior colleagues at KPMG like myself were downsized, Joe reached out repeatedly to make sure that I was surviving. He offered assistance and encouragement in a dark time, and I remain grateful for his support.”

“I was introduced to Joe when we were paired up for the No Longer Virtual conference in 2019. As we worked together to put together our session I realized: man this guy is awesome at getting ideas across. I had never heard of "Embodied Learning" until working with him, and it's a really powerful way to drive a point home. So many people approached us later complimenting us on how well we did and how clearly the concepts were presented. Very glad that we worked together and are building a great friendship as a result.”
