From a Silent Beginning to a Voice That Commands.

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Joel arrived in the U.K. as a child unable to speak English. The language barrier made integration challenging—and even led to bullying. Yet, what once held him back became his greatest strength.

Today, Joel is not only an executive communication coach but also a keynote speaker, published author, and social entrepreneur. He empowers leaders and entrepreneurs to master the very skills he once struggled to develop.

Here are some testimonials from people I have coached recently

When Joél gave us a presentation, everyone came out thinking we had learnt something new and useful - and the audience included both senior managers and junior staff. The examples and interaction were great, applicable and relevant. Joél is fun and engaging and his passion for the subject was reflected in the delivery of his message.I definitely recommend Joél's advice for young professionals looking at developing their verbal communication skills.

Alyssa Dominioni

Global Alumni Relations at L.E.K. Consulting

I had the pleasure of being taught by Joél at the University of Nottingham's public speaking society. Joél speaks with power, purpose and poise. He has a strong stage presence and ensures his speeches are memorable. Through Joél's guidance I have learnt the importance of pauses, body language, tone of voice and above all how to own the stage. As a result of Joél's public speaking advice I was able to gain a "Distinction" in the English Speaking Board's Level 4 Award in Professional Presentation Skills. If you want to become a confident, competent and impactful public speaker, Joél will show you the way.

I had Joel as my public speaking coach and I found him to be electric, diplomatic, and full of
personality. When you’re speaking publicly, describing things in a group of 3 is called a tricolon which allows you to emphasise your point in a memorable way. This is one of the many invaluable public speaking tactics instilled in me by Joel. Thank you Joel for enabling me to become a confident and effective communicator.

I have worked with Joél on multiple occasions: organising public speaking events, workshops, and seminars.His professional demeanor and ability to perform well under pressure is second to none. Joél is highly in tune with cross-cultural social etiquette, a quality which shapes his understanding and diplomatic approach to working both among peers and within a hierarchy. Always quick to take initiative and highlight the positives, Joél has been a pleasure to work with and will continue to be so in future endeavours.

David Pawlowski

"First of all, Joél is a fantastic listener, he is always invested in focusing on what you have to say, what issues you can be facing. He is eager to find a solution for you.

Then, his engaged and upbeat personality gives him an aura and vibe that makes you feel comfortable and want to outperform yourself, just like he outperforms himself on a daily basis thanks to his love for sports, especially the gym and running. While attending his session, I could definitely feel I was facing a passionate man, and while he gave us clear advice he also kept his audience entertained.

So, if you feel like you need to reach a new level with your communication skills, like you need to break that invisible shield upon your head, then Joél is the right man for you."
