Joe’s unique, honest and fascinating stories inspire audiences.

They are inspired by his journey to land such a high-profile job, his charity work, entrepreneurialism — and blown away by his stories, pictures and backstage access to such an important time in U.S. professional sports’ history.

Here’s what audiences and business owners have to say about Joe’s speech:

Joe was the keynote speaker at our annual sales meeting. He knocked it out of the park. Joe is able to deliver a message of the importance of hard work, relationships and team building, in a fun and energetic manner. Everyone walks away with practical lessons that they can use to improve their own emotional intelligence and productivity. I’ve recommended Joe to numerous other companies and industry associations that are singing his praises.”

Thank you for speaking at our annual summit in January. Your speech was entertaining, motivating, emotional, uplifting, and humorous. Out of the individuals who spoke that day, our 381 employee base saw you, far and away as the best speaker of the day. They completely enjoyed your segment and found it fascinating and educating. My only issue now is how I top your stellar performance next year. You have set the bar high… Your professionalism was refreshing. You are truly gifted.

Joe O’Neil spoke to about 100 of my sales people during one of our monthly team meetings. His presentation was motivational, educational, and entertaining. Some of my sales people are highly successful and have been to hundreds of speakers and they told me it was one of the best they have seen. His story of perseverance is timeless and can be applied to any industry. I promise you will enjoy his presentation.

Jim Dunning. Owner of Keller Williams Arizona Realty

Joe O’Neil recently gave a presentation to our entire corporate sales team at our annual National Sales Seminar. Joe’s story was fascinating for the group and indeed was a highlight of our week. It was unique how he was able to blend a sports story with business and sales success. Our team was locked in on his presentation. When your story incorporates World Championships and Michael Jordan, apparently it relates well to competitive salespeople!Our team was very grateful for Joe’s time and energy. I would strongly recommend having Joe speak to your company. It’s an uplifting and motivating story that proves you can reach any goal with hard work and determination.

Francesca Lewis, Executive Director, Midwest FastenerAssociation

I expected a lot of funny anecdotes about his 40 years with the Chicago Bulls. Surprisingly, he mostly spoke about his life, with a theme of perseverance and hard work. It was an incredibly inspiring presentation that held the audience with humor and emotion. It reminds me of a quote from sportscaster Dick Vitale, The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Bill Sakash Elmhurst Rotary Club
