Leadership

It's Time

- Your leadership can be determined by how you follow your dreams. I have been - and still am - a dreamer to this day. From being a world-class ballroom dancer, to running marathons, to being a finalist more than once at the World Championships of Public Speaking, I know the intrinsic leadership qualities of following a dream. This is a fun, light, 45-minute keynote to encourage the audience that it's time to follow a dream.

Wellness

Give Yourself Permission

- Your permission is crucial to your wellness. This keynote inspires us to be happy by giving ourselves permission to dream, to be positive, to move, and to laugh. This presentation weaves audience participation within its content, enabling the audience to actively feel happiness.

[VIDEO]: Mark Henkel Recommends Joe Grondin

"A gifted speaker and teacher, Joe Grondin delivers strong, educational, inspirational, and motivational speeches, woven together with well-measured elements of liveliness, laughter, and levity. His presentations are always tailored to his audiences and strengthened by his creativity, energy, and enthusiasm - a winning combination!"
- Shirley Kelly,
Toastmasters Past District 45 Governor

"Joe Grondin was our opening keynote speaker at the 2013 NBASBO AGM and he hit all the right notes to start our conference off in a positive fashion. His message is sincere, upbeat, and humorous. I would highly recommend Joe as a keynote speaker!"
- Aubrey Kirkpatrick,
Finance Supervisor for School District 2, Moncton, New Brunswick, CA

"The enthusiasm in the room when Joe speaks is real. For each of two assemblies, our middle school and our high school students were engaged and got the message. It was both entertaining and thought provoking with issues presented that are relevant to them. Joe's long career as a teacher is a bonus as he tailors his presentation to the individual nature of the age group and the school community itself! Thanks Joe!"
- William Robinson,
Principal at Salisbury High School, NB, CA.

"I've admired Joe Grondin as a person and speaker for years. He is personable, engaging, and patient. While coaching, he doesn't simply provide feedback and hope that you implement it. He methodically understands your own style and allows the speaker to play to their strengths. When the feedback is provided, it usually comes from within myself after Joe really makes me think about it. I am a better speaker without question because of Joe. I highly recommend Joe as a coach for speakers of all levels."
