Conference Keynote

    Joseph was the headline keynote speaker at our annual career conference. Nearly everyone rated Joseph's talk as a 10 out of 10, some of the highest ratings we've ever seen for a speaker.

Virtual Webinars

    I'm not a huge fan of motivational speakers, but Joseph isn't like the rest. He brought a depth of research and authenticity to public speaking I had not experienced before. He's also excellent on Zoom - I genuinely felt like I was sitting around the table with colleagues as he guided us on our personal branding.

    Sophie ZConsultant, Hong Kong🇭🇰

    Joseph Liu presented virtually on developing our personal pitch and networking strategies. He adapted his presentation effectively to the online format. Everything went off without a hitch (which isn't so common in online seminars these days), and he was an engaging speaker and host. It was one of the highest quality online workshops I have attended. I found the content very useful, and I will take his advice and guidance to heart as I continue on my career journey.

    I attended Joseph's Personal Branding and Personal Pitch webinars that were very entertaining, insightful and full of useful content to guide you through the next steps of your career.

Really good tips also about networking and common interview questions too. Totally recommend!

    I applied for a high-role executive job so decided to join Joseph's webinar to increase my chances during several online interviews. His abilities to communicate in a fast yet clear and concise manner were truly unique. His webinars were specific, content-rich, and easy to digest. In the end I got the job, and I owe a part of this success to him.

    I attended Joseph's webinar on personal branding, which was excellent. Joseph used real-life examples rather than academic, theoretical ones we often see in other webinars.

I will apply his recommendations straight away and start working on my personal brand to strengthen it so I can stand out and be more memorable.

    I participated in Joseph's Marketing Bootcamp, and the case interview segment stood out to me as particularly insightful, providing a wealth of valuable information. Joseph's presentation style was really engaging, making him the most captivating presenter I have ever encountered.

    Joseph broke down the areas of networking I find most challenging in an extremely thoughtful and engaging way. First, his flexible formula for giving an elevator pitch is crucial for all business professionals to know and practice. Second, I have struggled to find a good way to reach out to contacts on LinkedIn, but his seminar outlined when to make the first contact and how to stay in touch once you’ve connected. Thanks to Joseph, I have gained new confidence in my networking skills. I would recommend his seminars to business professionals of all ages, but particularly anyone changing careers or reentering the workforce.
