”Joel’s presentation could not have been more timely, or more on point. His engaging style, and specific insights, exceeded our expectations. I continue to receive a significant amount of positive feedback from our members. His willingness to adapt to our needs on-site, through moderating a panel discussion of our members, and then an appearance and discussion with our Board of Directors, just further highlights his passion and focus on real-world solutions. We all benefited greatly from Joel’s insights, experiences, and wisdom.

”Thank you so much for speaking at our event last week. Our preliminary participant satisfaction survey numbers show 93% satisfaction, which is a tremendous result that exceeds the norm. We had up to 180+ concurrent employees watching, with many more watching the recording afterwards, especially in our EMEA and APJ locations.
I really appreciated your thoughtful engagement while connecting our work at Workday with your content. I know enterprise software isn’t always sexy, but you have a wonderfully nuanced grasp of the work we do here and the material impacts we have in our industry.
