“After having met Joe on a number of occasions and witnessed his passion for diversity and inclusion, I contracted with him to facilitate a ½ day diversity training program for staff members at my organization. My desired outcome was that participants would walk away from the afternoon with a common language and a better understanding of the critical issues of diversity. Amazingly, as a result of Joe’s comfortable style and dynamic presentation techniques, a dozen or so individuals immediately volunteered to serve on a task force to continue the dialogue about diversity. He scored a 4.75 (on a scale of 1 being low and 5 being high) for being articulate, well-spoken, and engaging.”
-Laurie Pieper – VP of Human Resources, Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce
"Joe is a must see. He captures his audience, leads them down a path of vision, growth and purpose, to more effectively pursue the mission of any organization wanting to take things to the next level."
-Jarriet DeWit, Blue Cross Blue Shield
