About Joe

I’m a social entrepreneur and TEDx mental health speaker, using my experience with depression to change how we think about mental health. My talks encourage us to look past the labels, get to the root causes, and share practical ways to build your own mental health toolkit. I help individuals and leaders find the resilience and connection we need to grow through life’s tough times.

I used to be a high-performer in corporate sales, but when my doctor gave me a medical label, I took more time off work and nearly quit, convinced there was something wrong with my brain. Now, I help people see mental health as part of being human, creating workplaces where people feel supported and able to show up fully.

My style is warm and down to earth. I’m not here to preach, but to start conversations that matter. The most impactful talks are when my story encourages leaders to speak up, helping everyone else feel able to connect and support each other.

Joe’s story is a truly powerful one and his bravery in sharing it so openly is inspirational. Everyone in attendance could related to his story in some way and it helped clear some of the confusing and generic messages often spoken about mental health in the workplace. Joe’s talk offered a more understandable and human view of our mental health, which led to our team opening up and connecting on a deeper level.
