Joel Block helps leaders see what others aren't seeing, take actions others aren't taking, and think in ways others aren’t thinking.
An Advantage Player (and former expert blackjack player), Joel successfully translated these same skills, attitudes, and philosophies to the world of business, outmaneuvering some of the most formidable opponents in the high-stakes world of venture capital and hedge funds where he has examined over 1,000 companies and participated in over $1 billion dollars’ worth of deals. He shares his wisdom and experience, changing how audiences think about the future of their companies and delivering practical strategies for monetizing new trends, negotiating better deals, and growing companies in an era of uncertainty and change.
Joel turns your leaders into Advantage Players by delivering the most disruptive business trends, fueled by his arsenal of strategies to tackle them. His systems find “the wave” before most people notice the water is swelling. Joel weighs trends, sees shifts in momentum, and estimates the odds— before betting on outcomes. Your audience will learn to do the same.
As an Advantage Player, Joel isn’t welcome in Las Vegas casinos. But your audience can master his strategies for Advantage Play– the art of knowing what comes next— when you invite him to your next event. While few apply Advantage Play, it's learnable by all.
Help your audience perform at the highest level in all they do, every time, as Advantage Players where winning is inevitable.
