Speaking Image 7.jpg

 

"Joel did a phenomenal job and kept my teens and college students engaged throughout his lesson. He made us tear up, laugh out loud, and nod our head incessantly from beginning to end. I strongly recommend Joel for your speaking needs regardless of the event."

- Rene Zeringue, Associate Minister (Ohatchee Church of Christ)

"Joel took the time to get to know us for who we were, and then challenged us to become the best versions of ourselves we could be. He will continue to be one of the best figures for motivation, wisdom, and guidance for years to come because that's the type of person he is--the type of person he will challenge you to be." 

- Brandon Schoening, Operations Coordinator II at BBVA Compass (Birmingham, AL)

"Listening to Joel speak, I always find myself engaged. His use of story-telling keeps my attention despite my battle with adult ADD, and his message left a great impact." 

- Jamie Barkley, HS Teacher and Coach (Glencoe High School, Glencoe, AL)

As soon as Joel finished, several members asked me if he could come and speak again at another event we had going on later that evening! I strongly recommend him to come and speak to other organizations, leadership or executive teams, or to anyone who wants to be encouraged about the possibilities of positive, servant-based leadership." - Belva Durham, Project Director, Senior Center Services, East AL Regional Planning & Development Commission (Anniston, AL)

"Joel came and spoke to some of our high school athletes, and in his presentation he did a great job of explaining how to be a leader. He interacted well with them, his examples were applicable to their lives, and most of all he was real with them. We'd love to have him come back and speak to other groups at our school!"- Samantha Darby, Oxford (AL) City Schools
