Let's talk about
CONNECTION.
I help unlock people's natural ability to
powerfully persuade, move and inspire others.
“The inspiring and high-impact message that Joe presented at my team meeting helped me achieve my key objectives of keeping the meeting fresh and fun, while also driving important learning and advancing our communications skills. My team found his personal story fascinating and left with critical insights on how they can be better speakers.”
Steve DeCaspers
Vice President, Marketing at Brightspeed
I believe public speaking is the great separator. You can spend years accumulating knowledge, building skills and raising your talent level but all of that takes you only so far if you can't communicate it.
I help people become more impactful, engaging and persuasive communicators in work and life by sharing hard lessons learned in my 30-year journey as a public speaker.
Who is my message for?
Business Leaders
Looking to create high-performing teams by building loyalty and increasing credibility.
Sales Teams
Striving to close more sales, retain more customers and strengthen relationships.
Employees
Desiring better collaboration with managers to help reach personal development goals.
Students
Aspiring to improve their interview skills and boost their confidence and self-esteem.
ABOUT JOE
Joe Klimchak has been studying the art of public speaking for more than 40 years. Fascinated by television broadcasters at a young age, Joe's dream was to become either a Major League Baseball stadium announcer or a game show host. Both dreams came true in 2005 when he was named the Pittsburgh Pirates' In-Game Host, and over the past 19 seasons, he's had the chance to welcome more than 30 million baseball fans to PNC Park.
Joe's also been chosen to emcee many of the region's biggest events, including MLB's Little League Classic, Arnold Palmer's 80th Birthday celebration at PNC Park, Downtown Pittsburgh's Light Up Night, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's Annual Gala, the Chuck Tanner Awards Banquet, Clint Hurdle's Hot Stove Dinner and the historic "Boxing on the Bridge" event between the USA and Cuba.
Joe's television credits include hosting commercials for America's fastest-growing home remodeling company, West Shore Home, and hosting a weekly business segment on Pittsburgh's NBC affiliate, WPXI-TV.
Today Joe especially enjoys sharing compelling personal stories to help people at all public speaking levels best connect with their audiences.
