Who is Joel?
Hey, I'm Joel. I started my leadership journey as a teenager in the outdoors. I realised that resilience is something we can develop 'along the journey', not something that only shows up after adversity.
I left New Zealand and began as an Operations Manager, in Italy for 10 years. I led the 25 person team that delivered a truly worldclass Personal Leadership programme specialising in the power of focus & attention. We served 50-200 clients per day.
I returned to New Zealand, got married and had two amazing children. And this is when I started speaking on stage about everything I'd learnt as an aspiring Leader.
I started a Health facility, grew that to 12 staff over 9 years and sold that in 2019, whilst simultaneously, I became Director of Leadership at Scot's College in Wellington.
Training small teams across New Zealand & Australia has also been a huge part of what I do. I have partnered with dozens of schools, an array
of small businesses and supported the vision of organisations like:
House of Travel, Fonterra, Air New Zealand, Central Heating NZ, Downer Group, Fulton Hogan, Lululemon, Pinnacle Health, WETA, Stirling Sports, Search & Rescue, Antartica NZ, PWC, So They Can, and many NZ Government Ministries.
To date I have shared my team cohesion, culture building & empowering leadership insights with over 250,000 people.
I use a combination of positive psychology, neuroscience, NLP, emotional intelligence & accelerated learning techniques, to enhance LIVE trainings, workshops & presentations (Online & In-Person).
