Testimonials

Joe is a true professional! There are many who claim to provide the needed tools and resources to be as efficient in your career progression, command presence, and leadership, who commonly miss the mark, but not Joe. Joe has a unique gift in providing actual education that works and is effective in a calm and relaxing manner. The trainings I have participated given by Joe, I have left empowered and ready to tackle new obstacles. I highly recommend Joe Kwon for all your executive presence and leadership needs!

Compassionate, knowledgeable, and devoted to progress - would be my three words to describe Joe. We worked together both in-person and virtually, and each interaction was a combination of superb productivity and joy. Joe is a professional in what he does, and he brings warmth and human touch to every interaction. You will be a better person from working with Joe!

Executive presence ISN'T something most understand, much yet explain in clear and actionable terms. This is why I looove Joe. As a speaker for our C-Suite & Executive clients his presentations are filled with clarity and resonance. The nuances and misnomers move into focus enabling our clients to see themselves and where they're missing the mark to drive their unique and valuable impact. Joe makes this haughty term approachable and easier to master. Thank you Joe for demystifying the confusion around this term and going way beyond the obvious BS with respect to appearance or body language as the solution!

Loren Greiff, Executive Career Strategist

I highly recommend Joe for all things anti-racism and diversity. It was an absolute pleasure being a guest on Joe's podcast "Diversity Bites," the only daily podcast in THE WORLD on diversity! I'd recommend Joe any day as a workshop facilitator, keynote speaker or advisor.

People I have served

Every connection is met with kind intention

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe at a No Longer Virtual event, where he was an engaging speaker. Later, as a guest on his Why It Works podcast, I was impressed with his thoughtfulness and depth of discussion around two of my favorite things, communication and connection. So when I wrote a Forbes article about charisma, I knew I needed to feature insights from Joe's book on the topic.

Amy Blaschka, Professional Image Consultant & Social Media Ghostwriter

Joe is unique in that he is both whip smart and has exceptional people skills, a combination that is hard to find. These qualities serve him especially well as both a career coach and an attorney. He is a great listener, extremely perceptive when it comes to assessing a situation and provides practical, easy to implement solutions. I have used Joe as career coach in two instances: the first was when I was trying to get promoted and the second was seeking guidance on how to handle an exceptionally difficult executive. In both cases, his guidance was instrumental in helping me achieve my goal. The icing on the cake is that Joe is also a great speaker and writer. He is both humorous and compassionate and delivers material that is both entertaining and useful. I highly recommend Joe as a privacy attorney, a career coach and speaker or writer on career issues.
