I’ve delivered dozens of talks, seminars, and workshops to businesses, schools, nonprofits, churches, and political groups looking for a way to help their people connect in an age of loneliness, polarization, social anxiety, and strife.

Whether you’re a business owner struggling to create a vibrant corporate culture in the age of remote work, a community leader trying to foster connections across different groups, a parent looking to help sharpen your kid’s social skills before they head to college, or just someone who wants to reconnect with the world in the age of AI, I can help. I offer:

• Keynote speeches

• Bespoke workshops

• Community-building events (that aren’t Zoom happy hours!)

• Individualized coaching and consulting

Everything I do is customized to the needs of the client, rooted in the best research on the subject, and delivered in a fully engaging, entertaining, and interactive way.

“Although I consider myself an extrovert, the idea of talking to strangers used to make me uneasy. Joe's insights have truly helped me overcome those uncomfortable thoughts that sometimes led me to miss out on meaningful interactions. As a pastor, MGO at a university, and college course instructor, I’ve found that Joe’s techniques have greatly enhanced my ability to fulfill my calling. I highly recommend giving him a try—you won’t regret it!” – Rev. Bill O’Neal, Central Methodist University

Joe’s impact on my students was profound. They found comfort in knowing that even he had struggled at the start of his journey and deeply appreciated his candor, kindness, and humor. Without a doubt, I will be asking Joe to engage with my future students.” – Dr. Shai Tamari, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
