About the presenter

After avoiding speaking almost entirely for more than 25 years due to a debilitating stutter, Joze uncovered ground-breaking insights for personal transformation that turned his obstacle into triumphant public speaking and stand-up comedy performances in three continents and as many languages. Joze is on a mission to change people’s relationships with fear and discomfort so that they start taking action and unleash their inner greatness at work, school, and in life. Joze is well known to the CSA. His comedy workshop at an earlier CSA Conference was filmed and may be included in a documentary about his life as a person who stutters. He hopes it will be released sometime next year!
