Practical Strategies. Real Laughs. Lasting Change.
Small Business Speaker & Keynote Presenter
Joe Hammer has spent decades as a working entrepreneur — running a state-of-the-art auto collision and customizing shop, a graphic design firm, and a dynamic hypnotherapy practice, among other ventures — before turning those hard-won lessons into keynotes, workshops and conference programs for small business owners. He’s the author of The Improv Edge and The Unconscious Authority, and the founder of The Outcasters improv training center in Scottsdale, Arizona. As a former stage hypnotist and magician, Joe knows the difference between dazzling an audience and putting them to sleep — every program he delivers is built to be as entertaining as it is useful.
Unlike speakers who deliver out-dated book theory, Joe brings hard-hitting, practical strategies audiences can put to work in their business immediately — delivered in a fun, high-energy way that keeps a room engaged from open to close.
What Joe Speaks About
Influential Presenting
How to deliver a presentation people actually remember — gestures, pacing, humor and the psychology behind what makes an audience lean in instead of checking their phones.
The Improv Edge
Interactive, laugh-out-loud training that builds real-world creativity, spontaneity, listening and teamwork skills using the tools of improv comedy.
Subconscious Motivation
The real reason “just try harder” advice fails — and how audiences can identify the unconscious patterns actually driving their results, and change them for good.
Small Business Marketing Systems
Direct response marketing, differentiation and systemization strategies small business owners can put to work immediately — no outdated theory, no fluff.
