"...a top-notch speaker with a message that inspires."
“The buzz that he created that day is still resonating. More important, his words, backed by his passionate delivery, have laid the foundation for real success in the delivery of the services we provide. I’m going to do what I can to ensure that Joe is a regular at our annual gatherings. He is a top-notch speaker with a message that inspires.”
“Joe takes simple concepts and masterfully weaves them into an engaging, informative, and useful presentation. Leaders leave with concepts they can apply daily. If you want a speaker that will make leaders think, and provide information that will help leaders improve, I suggest you hire Joe Fusco.”
“Joe is an absolute pleasure to have as a speaker. Very knowledgeable, engaging, and inspiring, yet full of down-to-earth, real, and actionable advice. The feedback from our members was extremely positive with comments like ‘bring Joe back,’ and ‘Joe has given me the words to describe things I know are true but didn’t know how to say’.”
I'm an experienced speaker, teacher and panelist who offers thought-provoking and often unconventional views and insights in the areas of leadership development, organizational and problem-solving culture, business and cultural trends, economic development, corporate responsibility and sustainability, and life/work balance.
