RISEUP is an AWAKENING for me as well as for the world
What seemed like the pinnacle of my success came crashing down overnight.
Yes, everything disappeared in an instant.
One early morning, I woke up and realized I had lost the use of all my fingers.
I WAS OFFICIALLY HANDICAPPED.
I couldn’t button my shirt. I couldn’t tie my shoes. I couldn’t even fit a key into a lock.
My fingers couldn’t hold onto anything.
Seven doctors from the hospital system could not tell what was happening.
The system I had trusted to find answers and offer hope…
had given up on me.
I asked my audience and myself the question,
have I done anything bigger than myself over the years of my life?
Ironically with all the awards and success.
The answer was no.
A RISEUP movement is born.
“RISEUP is about raising PSYCHOLOGICAL BEST LEADERS who dare to shape the world by SHOWING UP with the best version of themselves.”

REGIONAL HEAD OF LEARNING (INDIA AND SEA)
We engaged Joseph for a motivational speech at an internal event. He did not just deliver his pet topics. At the pre-event discussion, he asked detailed questions about the circumstance and objectives. During his delivery, he framed his message with the right content in the proper context, which the participants noticed and responded to favourably.
