Meet Your Facilitator
We have landed the incredible Joel McKerrow.
Joel McKerrow has spent over sixteen years enthralling hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world with his captivating performance poetry, passionate keynotes, strategic training, and energetic event hosting. As the go-to speaker for Creativity Driven Transformation (with over 280 presentations in 2025 alone), Joel champions the belief that both CREATIVITY and STORY are far too important to be confined to only those we deem as being creative.
Australia’s only certified Applied Narrative Intelligence specialist, he spends much of his time helping organisations leverage the power of STORY to help them grow. From the Sydney Opera House to stages around the globe Joel empowers leaders to transform their organisations through visionary thinking, narrative-driven leadership and creative-problem solving.
