Debbie Sebek, President of Park City Toastmasters:
It is my pleasure to recommend Joel Zuckerman as an exceptional public speaker.
Joel is a seasoned speaker; he has received many awards while competing at our club after 10+ years of membership. He was recently invited to be a guest speaker, and he presented a beautifully executed his speech titled “One Simple Key to Living a Great, Full Life”. His speech was influenced by his newest book, Grateful.
The main reason I would recommend Joel as a proficient public speaker is that he can quickly engage his audience and hold their attention throughout an entire presentation. As the author of numerous books, he has a broad range of knowledge to share, and he braids his experiences both creatively and humorously. One of his extraordinary gifts is speaking to the hearts of his audience, his words resonate deeply with all ages, ethnicities, and sexes. After listening to one of Joel’s speeches, one cannot help but be inspired by his zest for life and charismatic smile. His deep understanding of gratitude and all it’s many benefits are delivered with knowledge, humor, and heart.
I highly recommend Joel to a broad range of audiences. His talent will not disappoint.
Dirk Bak, Chairman of Tiger 21:
Joel's presentation on gratitude is thoughtful and thought provoking. Simple thoughts and actions can make a meaningful impact in your life and the lives of others. This message will help one live their best life, while impacting others for good. People need to hear this.
Kelly Miller, Adult Services Division, Park City Library:
I REALLY enjoyed Joel’s presentation. I found it refreshing! The world is an intense, angry and divided place right now. His presentation is all about the good things: remembering all that is good in the world, in our lives, remembering to be grateful for those things and experiences, and remembering that life is pretty darn good so let's be grateful! And what a wonderful way to express this sentiment by writing a note of gratitude that will surprise and delight its recipient.
Moe Hickey, Executive Director, Voices for Utah Children:
I recently had the pleasure of hearing Joel give a presentation on Gratitude, which was thought provoking and timely. He brought the topic to life with his wit and sincerity. Gratitude is so needed in the world, and I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to hear this talk. I highly recommend Joel as a speaker. His talk should resonate with any organization looking to enhance its culture.
Ember Conley, President, Park City Rotary Club
Joel's adeptness in articulating the significance of expressing gratitude through the written word is truly enlightening. His passion and depth of knowledge on the subject are evident from the outset of his presentation. He skillfully conveys how writing letters of gratitude can be a powerful tool for personal growth, fostering harmony, and achieving a sense of fulfillment in our lives.
I recommend Joel to any corporate group, association, or organization that wants to think more mindfully about gratitude.
Dr. Gary Zetterberg, Founder, Park City Wellness Alliance
Park City Wellness Alliance holds monthly events to educate the community at large. Our most recent event focused on mental health. Joel Zuckerman kicked off the event, and his thought-provoking presentation on gratitude set the tone for the rest of the evening. When people are going through tough times, a shift of thinking can change a life. Joel shared how the power of gratitude, and specifically focusing our attention on two individuals who have positively impacted our lives (one with us, one no longer with us) can help us both emotionally and psychologically. This theme seemed to permeate throughout the rest of the evening. Joel reminded us to show love to those who are still with us, and to be grateful to those who have already passed, but left us their legacy. For me personally, that would be my mother.

Joel Zuckerman‘s presentation on proactive gratitude is uplifting, inspiring and thoughtful. He has a way of putting his thoughts together that helps bring clarity and lift people up. He gives actionable steps that anyone can follow, but does so in an entertaining and humorous way that keeps the audience’s attention.
Ron Jackenthal, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Live Like Sam Foundation
Joel Zuckerman was the keynote speaker at our recent fundraising event at the St. Regis Hotel, located in Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah.
His program is dynamic, energetic, engaging, and humorous. Joel’s heartfelt presentation style focuses on an essential human communications practice and is relatable to all ages and backgrounds. This uplifting and engaging presentation is based in part on his ninth and most recent book, Grateful.
He masterfully shares how focusing on and practicing proactive gratitude will change your life and those around you. He shares numerous ways of integrating gratitude into your being, including the lost art of handwritten letters to those to whom we are grateful. Joel distills the power of expressing gratitude and its essential benefits to ourselves and those around us.
Finally, he leaves us with an easily digestible and malleable set of short action steps to integrate a simple gratitude practice into our lives. I recommend Joel Zuckerman to any organization looking to inspire anyone and everyone in their ecosystem.
Michael J. Zaccaro, Chief Operating Officer of Falcon Investors, LLC
Joel Zuckerman provides a unique perspective on gratitude, focusing on its many benefits and healing properties. Joel explains the differences between reactive gratitude, which is familiar to all, and proactive or expressive gratitude, which he suggests is a learned or practiced behavior. Joel’s program is funny, fast paced and insightful. I would recommend Joel to any group or organization looking for an enriching and thought provoking presentation.
