I work with three groups of people seeking three different outcomes.

Professionals

I work with professionals who find their success limited by strong feelings that interfere with their performance. I help them very quickly reverse the negative and tap into strong, positive feelings that support their success.

To do this I facilitate a hyper-focused awareness practice called SomatoSensory Imaging that turns feeling states into virtual objects you can interact with and intentionally transform. The process establishes a new, empowered relationship with feeling which ripples into all areas of life. In as little as one hour, my clients experience tangible...[more]

I work with three groups of people seeking three different outcomes.

Professionals

I work with professionals who find their success limited by strong feelings that interfere with their performance. I help them very quickly reverse the negative and tap into strong, positive feelings that support their success.

To do this I facilitate a hyper-focused awareness practice called SomatoSensory Imaging that turns feeling states into virtual objects you can interact with and intentionally transform. The process establishes a new, empowered relationship with feeling which ripples into all areas of life. In as little as one hour, my clients experience tangible inner shifts that lead directly to outer success and satisfaction.

Speakers

I work with speakers, trainers, and presenters who want to ascend from the ranks of the good to the heights of the great. I facilitate that leap in two ways.

First, great delivery, powerful presence, and magnetic engagement can only show up when the inner speaker is fully aligned, congruent, and authentic. Through SomatoSensory Imaging, I help you very quickly identify incongruent parts of yourself and move them back into alignment with your truth.

Congruent authenticity is a prerequisite for greatness, but it is not enough. I also work to help you direct and control your "essence." Essence is the inner, felt sense of energy which you can deliberately amplify, direct, and imbue with meaning. Great masters of stage acting know intuitively how to do this. I teach you how to do it with conscious intent and precise control.

Leaders

I work with leaders who recognize that their continued success depends on achieving a higher level of authenticity and presence. Through SomatoSensory Imaging, I help you achieve a deep authenticity and intentional presence which sets you apart from your peers, elicits trust and respect from those you lead, and creates outcomes even you would not have envisioned.

  I accepted Joe's coupon offer, a one hour session, and that's about all I knew about him or how he worked to help folks become charismatic. Due to my schedule I chose to meet over the phone with Joe. He was very respectful of my time and allowed me to get to a quiet, private place for our session. We talked about some physical distress I exhibited each time I presented a seminar or hosted an event. Through a series of guided imagery questions he had me actually visually place the feelings that came up during presentations in a specific place in my body. He prompted me to describe, locate, and get very acquainted with those feelings. He asked me to allow those feelings to transform into a different shape, space, and place. I immediately received a sense of lightening up, a refreshing transformation that freed me up and left me very very energized. He left me with specific instructions as to how I can re-create that transformation and recall the image I created prior to my presentations. I now cue myself before every presentation, client meeting, and networking opportunity to fortify myself with that powerful image of who I am and what I offer those I connect with. I found the experience of my session with Joe invaluable. I easily connected with the model of creating visual images and descriptions for the questions he used to guide my learning experience. I am a very visual and creative person. Though we did talk of some very intimate things that lead me to a fairly vulnerable place, I always felt safe with his guidance and support. One of the best things, is that he took notes and had a way of recording our session so whenever I want to go back through a reminder or refresher on my discovery, I can. Even better, that I didn't have to take notes during our time, so I was completely free to do the work necessary. Even though I'd consider myself a rather "woo woo" kind of guy, I would highly recommend working with Joe to uncover anything you may have standing in the way of your becoming all of who you are and who you can be. And, even though my "serious flop sweat" hasn't totally disappeared, it has greatly subsided and I have tools to use to bring myself back to a centered place where I can truly concentrate on the others with whom I'm connecting. Being freed from the focus being on "how I'm being perceived, or how am I doing, or what am I going to say next..." is truly invaluable. It has allowed me to truly listen and be present while presenting whether to a group or just one person.--thanks Joe!   [less]

  I’ve always loved talking with Joe at Biznik events. He’s such an intelligent, charming and insightful man. I finally had the chance to attend one of his workshops and have even more respect and admiration for him and his work, as a result. Joe helped all the workshop participants create a paradigm shift and reframe their thinking about a business obstacle. I really did feel that everyone in attendance experienced a personal epiphany and left with a fresh outlook on their situation…just as promised in the workshop description. I look forward to future workshops from Joe and can testify that time talking with Joe at events or attending his workshops is time very well spent!    [less]

  Joe's way of working with feeling states and freeing them from the place they have been stuck is very empowering and a great alternative to therapy. His dedication to this work is inspiring and it's also wonderful to know that he practices what he preaches! :) You rock Joe!   [less]

  Joe is firmly grounded in walking his talk. He has graciously given me his time and his brainpower from a place of genuine compassion and presence. He truly embodies what he teaches.
  

  His "best practices" event delivered a high quality experience of practical tips and synergistic group assistance. His ease in connecting with participants and sharing his expertise creates an immensely enjoyable learning experience.   [less]
