Welcome back!

Today I had the absolute privilege of speaking with Dr. Ivan Joseph.

Ivan is an award-winning Performance Coach and Leadership and Cultural Transformation Expert. Ivan inspires people and teams to achieve more than they dreamed. Joseph has spent his career leading cultural transformation, helping people believe in themselves, and creating cohesive teams. He speaks about self-confidence, embracing the “grit” to persevere in spite of setbacks, and leading teams to success, drawing from the lessons he’s learned from a life in sport. 

Currently the Vice-Provost of Student Affairs at Dalhousie University, Joseph leads the university’s effort to promote interconnectedness and belonging among a diverse student body drawn from across the country and around the globe.

Joseph is regularly called on to support national team programs. In 2018 he was selected as Head Coach of the women’s national soccer team in his native Guyana. While serving as high-performance coach for the Canadian men’s basketball team. They won the country’s first ever FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup in 2017.

Joseph’s TEDx Talk has more than 19 million views, which speaks to the impact he has on people. Forbes named it one of the “Ten Best TED Talks About The Meaning of Life”.

In this conversation, in light of everything happening in the States and the rest of the world over the past week, we dig deep into the uncomfortable conversations that need to be had right now.
