Emcee
NBKC Bank
We recently hosted Joel at nbkc bank as part of our quarterly speakers series. He certainly did not disappoint! His positive messages about championship culture and teamwork resonated with our folks. Where Joel truly shines is how he connects with people. He stayed well after his talk to pose for picture, let people try on his World Series ring, and just visit. He is the exact guy you see on tv and his mix of humility, humor and meaningful insight make him a great choice for anyone looking to have a guest speaker. I would highly recommend Joel.
