Josh’s Speaking Topics
Whether you’re looking for an engaging keynote presentation, a powerful, thought provoking lecture for your staff and students (typically 45-60 minutes) or an interactive and educational adventure, my goal is to be the catalyst for change for your audience.
I want to deliver a presentation that is thought-provoking, relevant, funny and inspiring all at once, so the ideas and messages you learn will stick in your mind for years to come.
It’s not enough just to deliver information. If people aren’t inspired to change, if they aren’t excited about the possibilities, then they aren’t going to put those ideas into practice.
It’s my job, not to just flip that “ah-ha” switch in your head, but to make an emotional connection, and to engage not just the minds, but the hearts of audiences so they are excited about the future, and excited to invest in themselves, and in the greater good.
