Joel McKerrow

The go-to Speaker for Creativity Driven Transformation 

Award winning writer, keynote speaker, MC and performance poet

Transforming Stagnation into Creative Momentum.

Because creativity is far too important

to be left only to the creatives.

From the Sydney Opera House, to Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Centre, to The Metropolis in Montreal, Joel has spent the last fifteen years, on global stages, captivating hundreds of thousands of people with his passionate performative style and highly inspiring keynotes.

A
Creativity and Innovation Specialist, he is passionate about transforming stagnation into creative momentum and champions the belief that CREATIVITY and STORY are far too important to be confined to those traditionally labeled as ‘creative' or 'Storytellers.'

Joel represented Australia at the Individual World Poetry Slam Championships and is one of Australia's most successful performance poets as well as being the VIC/TAS Vice-President of PSA (Professional Speakers Australia). Kate Cebrano describes him as, ‘completely free, reckless and unbound in his expression.’


 

Joel is a true creative genius and his impact on my team was nothing short of extraordinary."

Want something to make your event truly unique?

Check out this offering

Stuck-ness, it's a thing right. Falling back into the safety of the status-quo. We all know how seductive it can be. Play it safe. Just keep on doing what we’ve always done.

Stuck-ness is a straight-jacket that can feel like an arm chair.

But you were meant for more than this.

So is your business.

So are your people.

In a world that is rapidly changing, those who opt for the safety of the status-quo are simply going to get left behind. As are the businesses who pay lip service to creativity, whilst doing nothing to establish an intentional culture of innovation.

But what if there was a path that led from stagnation into creative momentum.

An intentional pathway that could take us toward both professional breakthrough and personal fulfilment.

 

This is the creative pathway Joel has long walked.

This is the pathway he wants to guide you along.

Joel has spent the last fifteen years helping people get unstuck, be it within the professional world, the education sector, not-for-profits or within ones own creative practice.

Now it’s time for you too.
