Speaker Leadership & Strategy

“Our teaching team experienced Joske’s session very positively. It was inspiring, engaging, and gave us plenty to think about. The key message I took away was: listen to my team members without judgment and with genuine attention and don’t make assumptions, but empower them to use their own strengths.

Joske’s personal story was intense, brave, and powerful. It made me realize that I need to look at people’s behavior with more curiosity instead of viewing it through the lens of judgment.

I would recommend this team session to any group searching for better collaboration and team dynamics. It definitely helped us connect more deeply and start honest conversations with one another.”

"On March 27, 2025, we hosted a lecture and interactive session with the members of NVDM-North. Joske Kuut’s story “You had it coming” touched us all deeply. One important takeaway: always check the facts before judging someone, and don’t assume something is true if you don’t actually know. Wise lessons that help you become a better person. Our members found the lecture incredibly valuable!"

James delivered a compelling presentation about habit change and personal productivity that will influence how our students stretch themselves to pursue new opportunities. His work is clear and actionable in a way that breaks down some of the most challenging barriers that we all have to overcome. I would highly recommend James to any organization seeking to accomplish great things!

I am thrilled we were able to bring James’ content (and his book!) to our people of ESPN.  The numbers we had today for this event have been the highest we’ve seen for a keynote speaker since we went 100% virtual! The amount of texts, emails and DM’s I got were unbelievable. The attendees absolutely loved the content!

You were the perfect late afternoon speaker, you really kept everyone’s attention with your great stories and analogies. Your passion for what you do is refreshing. Thank you for making the conference a truly inspiring event.

Bill is so incredibly insightful! His ability to command the stage and deliver actionable tips to really help people become better leaders who are emotionally intelligent is second to none in my experience. I attribute much of my personal success to what Bill taught me early in my career and leadership journey. From a meeting planner's perspective, Bill is a dream presenter - easy to work with, humble, and wants to be part of the team to deliver excellence. He took the responsibility to 'exceed expectations' as seriously as I did as the meeting host. Bill lives what he researches and teaches making personal/professional relationships so very enriching. 

Bill, I want to thank you for a very powerful session. I had so many people saying this was so helpful!!! The science you taught on questions vs statements was incredible. I never knew the brain science component to this and realized I could be better asking questions when giving feedback. Better said, I need to coach more through questions! The coaching exercise drove this home! The session was a 10 out of 10! You are incredibly talented, can hold the room with your presence and you are very skilled at getting people to engage and interact.

In her usual compelling and accessible style, Tiffani Bova bestowed valuable insights to our partners on how to provide a great Customer Experience to their target market, at our flagship annual event – Global Partner Summit.

Tiffani was a great addition to our event—beyond expectations! She offered insights and perspectives that connected the customer experience with the employee experience and challenged our attendees to take her words home with them and integrate them into their businesses. She offered real advice on transforming traditional HR departments into assets that can help shape a company’s vision and direction. I was particularly impressed that Tiffani adapted her remarks, and the case studies she highlighted, to our audience and our industry. One of the highlights of our conference.
