A former head of learning and development at one of the largest healthcare systems in the U.S., Joe has spent nearly two decades equipping leaders – from Fortune 500 companies like State Farm, Siemens, and Choice Hotels to hospitals, agencies, and small firms – with the tools to lead better, inspire commitment, and build more humane workplace cultures.
