Jose Ucar transforms how global leaders and organisations communicate, turning everyday interactions into powerful opportunities for influence and connection.
With over 25 years of experience spanning continents and industries, Jose has become a trusted authority on impactful, confident communication. As a Venezuelan who mastered English as his second language, Jose has a deep, personal understanding of cross-cultural communication challenges in international environments.
His book, Global Influence, introduces innovative communication frameworks, including his signature BEST approach – a method that is simple, powerful and widely adopted by multinational organisations. From advising C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies to supporting international teams through complex change, Jose delivers practical, immediately applicable strategies that consistently produce measurable results. His belief that “communication transcends cultural barriers when built on authentic connection” has positioned him as a go-to advisor for organisations seeking greater global impact.
A highly sought-after global speaker, Jose’s recent video on ‘How to Present with Impact and Confidence’ has attracted over 60,000 views and continues to grow. He blends deep cross-cultural insight, behavioural science and performance mindset techniques to transform how leaders show up in any setting. His work has been featured in LA Weekly, Authority Magazine, Yahoo Finance, Thrive Global and The New York Finance, establishing him as a leading voice in international business communication. His frameworks have helped leaders at Procter & Gamble, Amazon, Hyundai and SEAT-CUPRA master influential communication across borders. As one participant remarked, “I feel like I’ve gone through therapy while learning a lot about the topic and myself. I’m excited to go present now.”
Jose delivers high-energy, transformation-focused presentations that feel more like engaging conversations than formal speeches. Fluent in English and Spanish, he combines powerful storytelling, live demonstrations and disarming humour that audiences consistently praise. What truly sets Jose apart is not just his decades of expertise, but his genuine passion for connecting with people from all backgrounds.
Despite his impressive credentials, he remains refreshingly humble, taking greatest pride in seeing others overcome their communication challenges. Each keynote is carefully tailored to the audience, often adapting in real time to the energy in the room, ensuring participants leave inspired, confident and equipped with tools they can use immediately. As one attendee put it, “Jose somehow made me laugh throughout a presentation on professional communication – and I remembered everything because of it.”

This guy is a genius. The way he opens your mind to look at myself in a different way really helped me see where I can improve as a manager, but more importantly, be a leader. I would recommend this man to any business and to anyone looking to improve their leadership skills.
I had the pleasure of being part of an event where Jose was speaking. Jose’s approach was fantastic; he provided a masterclass in developing and delivering a keynote speech, all within a relatively short time frame. His presentation style is engaging and demonstrates a passion for what he does. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to hear Jose speak or be coached by him, I highly recommend it.
