Bio
Daniele Calvo Pollino
As a semifinalist within the 40th edition of the Insead Venture Competition, We had the chance to attend one hour mentorship with Joe on how to create and deliver effective presentations. I had created and delivered hundreds of presentations before, but that hour spent with Joe was simply a game changer. He walked us through a well structured process, starting from main objectives, walking backwards to audience knowledge and feelings, drafting the pitch and eventually the slides. As result, we won the first prize, consisting in a 35k Euro grant, out of 87 start up applicants. We will definitely always use this process for creating and delivering presentations going forward.

Joe coached me for my talk at TEDxMontreal. I'm a professional public speaker who speaks regularly to audiences of around 400-1200 people, but my speaking improved wonderfully with Joe's expert help. Joe gave me a deeper methodology and more rigorous process through which to transform my intuition into my presentation, helped me match my thesis more closely with my corporate strategy, and helped me communicate complex and technical ideas clearly and concisely for a general audience. As well, Joe was encouraging and delightful during each step of the process. Thank you Joe!
