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.

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.
