The Big Picture Behind Starting my Speaking Business

Yes, there have been a lot of opportunities in my career to meet some incredible athletes, coaches, and big names in the world of sports.
Yes, I get some of the best seats at Royals games.
I've learned that none of that matters in the big picture if I don't share those experiences with others.
Meeting some of those big-name athletes & coaches led to me having some of the biggest "ah-ha" moments in my career.
Getting access to "behind the scenes" wasn't just about trying to get an interview, it was about trying to learn from whomever I was interviewing.
When I started my speaking business a few years ago, I knew that I wouldn't be talking about my sports broadcasting career the way that most people would probably assume. I knew I had a giant storehouse of lessons learned that were extremely applicable to the corporate and business world.
So I began working with a coach to help me put over 25 years of experience in sports broadcasting into a few different speeches and pieces of training that I thought could help businesses both near to Kansas City and across the country.
Joel Goldberg Media is not just an opportunity for me to come in and speak to a company about baseball, it's an opportunity to share stories that you won't see on the Fox Sports highlight reel, or in the ticker on your favorite sports channel.
These stories are built from true friendships and connections being made. These stories are about developing a Championship Culture, Effectively Networking (through building relationships), and most relevant to the times are in now... How to Overcome Adversities and Hard Times.
If you or someone you know is looking to hire a speaker to come and share with your organization, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]
I offer both in-person & virtual experiences to fit with your company's policies during the final phases of reopening.
I do look forward to seeing more of you in person real soon.
I also look forward to a return of baseball as well.
Go Royals. Stay Safe and Let's Grow together Kansas City and America!

4 年Enjoyed the article Joel ... and truly enjoy your commentary & interviews during Royals games. Heard you speak at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Legend’s Luncheon a few years back. I was impressed by your storytelling that day and look forward to attending another one of your speaking engagements soon. All the best!
