Joe will share his heart-warming experience of how he built a
seven-store retail business from the ground up as a young man
and saw it ravaged by a ring of 12 thieves. His gritty struggle
to keep his company alive and encourage his loyal employees
while navigating extreme challenges will inspire your audience.
The devastating affects of broken trust, sudden loss of
employees and high stress Joe experienced will validate Joe for
your audience as a person who has been there.
He will intertwine the inescapable
fact that our personal and professional lives are bound together
and need to be dealt with as a whole instead of the modern day
tendency to compartmentalize. Joe and his wife Jill were living
the American dream until rapid growth created an opportunity for
theft they did not anticipate. This challenging situation came
in the midst of them raising their three very young children;
all under the age of four.
Joe will share valuable insights
that he gleaned from this crucible that made him a sought-after
consultant who was able to take these lessons and turn-around
other businesses. Your audience will be inspired to hear how
these core principles learned in a time of extreme adversity
enable Joe to turn challenge into opportunity.
He will amaze your audience with
where these lessons took him professionally and personally. Your
audience will be just as intrigued by Joe's story as the
Wall Street Journal writer who did
a feature story on his unusual life and who called Joe: "a
pioneer and renaissance man."
