Finding the Big Picture
When he was 7 years old, Joe stood in Thomas Jefferson's study at Monticello and decided that he was going to be a Renaissance Man - like Jefferson: a jack-of-all-trades who got "good enough" in so many things that he had a profound impact on those around him.

Joe spent 9 years as a CEO in the service sector, where he tripled revenue, service levels and profit, with only a 30% increase in physical plant and personnel.

• At the same time, he was working on his PhD at Northwestern, trying to find out why he was doing so well. In the process, he became a scholar on the topic of power in the marketplace.

He has served on the faculties of some of the best business schools in America - Duke, the University of Virginia and Rollins College, among others. And he was elected "Teacher of the Year" at three of them.

• Then in 1993, he left academia and became a full time personal advisor and coach to CEOs and top management -- since 1995 as Chairman of The Executive Committee (TEC) in Orlando, Florida. Why?

"Because," says Joe, "when you teach a student to fish, you create one well fed family. But when you teach a CEO to fish, you can alter an entire industry - and that feeds millions."

Then there are those Other Things - Joe has been an award winning landscape artist and professional cartoonist, a portrait photographer, and actor on film and stage. He toured the country from coast to coast as a professional musician and holds an undergraduate degree in English Literature - which he financed by playing football ------ well enough to get an offer to play pro ball.

And how does all this help your audience?
"I walk them into Jefferson's study." says Joe.
"It's a field trip for the mind."

"I like this guy. He's a fun
version of Machiavelli."
- Robert S. - Admiral, US Navy
