About Jose

I am an international communication and leadership trainer, two-time TEDx speaker, certified coach and author of Global Influence (Amazon, 2023). For nearly a decade I have spent my days helping individuals, teams and organisations communicate with more clarity, confidence and authenticity, on stage, on screen, in meetings, and in the everyday conversations that quietly shape culture. My sessions sit at the intersection of communication, leadership and human connection. I design and deliver workshops, masterclasses, keynotes and 1:1 coaching on topics including presenting with impact, influencing stakeholders, emotional intelligence, handling difficult conversations, the leader as coach, storytelling and personal brand. Every session is interactive, practical and built around real scenarios, with a balance of structured content and live conversation that keeps people engaged from the first minute to the last. My style is warm, direct and a little bit playful. I do not believe in lecturing people. I believe in creating spaces where everyone in the room feels safe enough to participate, to take a small risk, and to leave with something they can use the very next day. Whether the audience is a group of senior leaders, a global team meeting virtually across time zones, or a group of students stepping into the working world for the first time, I work hard to make sure the experience is energising, inclusive and human.

Client Requirements
For most in-person sessions, I work with a simple set-up: a screen with HDMI or USB-C connection for slides and short video clips, a whiteboard or flipchart with markers, and a microphone (lapel or handheld) for groups larger than around 20 people. Where possible, I prefer chairs arranged in a cabaret or U-shape layout to encourage participation, and reliable Wi-Fi is helpful if interactive online elements are used.
