What is the rhythm of your life?

Hi, I’m Joe Serio. From a young age, I dreamed of traveling the world, learning about people, and being a storyteller. That sense of curiosity has guided me throughout my life. I became a life-long adventurer, living in Russia and China and traveling to over 20 countries. I played in a Russian rock band in Moscow, ran an international magazine, and worked in U.S. government intelligence.

Now, through my books, keynote speeches, and training sessions on leadership and communication, I’m passionate about helping people of all ages discover their potential and make meaningful connections.

Whether I’m speaking on managing fear, improving emotional intelligence, increasing productivity, or enhancing resilience, my mission is always the same: to help you step boldly into the life you are meant to live.

  • All I can say is WOW! I had lived with the gloom and doom for so long that it feels like a veil has been removed from my eyes and a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

  • It took 10 minutes of listening to me for you to unlock 40 years of hurt and anger that I was taking out on the wrong person. You saved my marriage.

Is your group out of sync?

Alignment is one of the most critical components of any organization. But how do you transform an organization when the people don’t change? Joe starts with the individual: self-responsibility, self-accountability, emotional intelligence. When individuals know their needs and boundaries and know how to communicate them, the whole group can rise to greater heights.

SPEAKING TOPICS INCLUDE:

  • Be an Inspired Leader

  • Positive Interaction with Difficult People

  • Leadership Lessons of the CIA

  • Outrageous Productivity in a World of Distractions
