Routing through your city?
I tour by RV, so adding a stop near you is usually easy — and travel costs get simple.
Built for audiences starting over.
- Recovering from something — injury, illness, burnout, or loss.
- Rebuilding after a divorce, a breakup, or a family relationship that changed shape.
- Caregivers carrying someone else's recovery — and quietly losing themselves in it.
- Therapists and counselors who spend the week inside everyone else's hardest chapters.
- Clinicians and rehabilitation teams who watch people start over daily.
- Wellness and holistic-health audiences already thinking about the nervous system.
- Creative and leadership teams designing through uncertainty.
Prefer the video version?
The full narrated keynote — Joe's voice, the real slides, The Rebuild Method™ end to end. Nothing loads until you press play, so skip it if you'd rather just read.
Share it internally with your committee — it's the fastest way to get a yes.
Seven moves. One worksheet. Free.
The Rebuild Method™ is what the keynote hands your audience — and the worksheet is how they run it the next morning. Use it as a pre-event primer or a post-event follow-through.
- R
Receive
Stop arguing with a reality that already happened. For me that meant handing it to God — angry, at first.
- E
Enter Stillness
Quiet the nervous system before trying to solve anything. Prayer counts. So does silence.
- B
Befriend the Body
Notice pain, tension, and the signals underneath them.
- U
Use Imagination
See a possibility that doesn't exist yet — clearly enough to walk toward it.
- I
Immerse
Nature, awe, worship, community. Something larger than the current story — and it has a name.
- L
Live the Next Step
Not the plan. The next honest, doable move. Gratitude is my attitude, one day at a time.
- D
Design Who You Become
Don't reconstruct the old you. Build the one you were being made into.

What formats do you offer?
The flagship keynote runs 45–60 minutes with a moderated Q&A afterward. I also offer a 45-minute healthcare talk, a 45-minute creative leadership talk, and a hands-on 2–4 hour workshop. The workshop moves the audience through the full Rebuild Method™ with guided exercises, not just slides. There's also a half-day resilience workshop, Steady Under Pressure — download the two-page sheet.
How far ahead should we book?
Most conferences and teams book 3–6 months out so we can align the talk to your audience and schedule a brief prep call. I can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines if the date falls inside an open booking window — just ask and I'll be direct about what's possible.
What is your fee range?
Keynotes start at $3,000 and scale to $7,500 depending on audience size, travel complexity, prep time, and whether you add a workshop or second session. The workshop rate includes materials and a post-event follow-up. Travel is separate and billed at cost.
Which audiences is this right for?
Healthcare and patient-experience conferences, therapist and counselor gatherings, creative and design leadership summits, and company all-hands going through hard change. It also lands with general audiences carrying personal change — divorce, estrangement, caregiving, loss — because the crash is the illustration, not the subject. It lands best with rooms of 80–1,500 people who want a human story with a usable framework attached — not a motivational set piece and not a clinical lecture.
What should the room expect on the day?
A single story told plainly, three tools the audience can use Monday, and a close that hands the room something to decide rather than something to feel. I arrive the day before when travel allows, do a 15-minute tech check, stay for the hallway conversations afterward, and send your team the slides plus a one-page recap within 48 hours.
What do you need from organizers?
A clean wireless lapel mic, a confident A/V hand, and a confidence monitor or a clear view of the main screen. I travel with my own clicker and backup slides. For the workshop, I need round tables, flip charts or whiteboards, and space to move between groups. The most important thing is a 30-minute audience brief two weeks before the event.
