The Speak Out Talks
Everyone stutters; I just do it when I speak
In this talk, Joze Piranian discusses tales of Inclusion and Resilience from a comedian who Stutters.
2020 and 2021 have made one thing clear: every single human being needs to grow their resilience, grit and capacity for overcoming discomfort and fears. Drawing from his personal journey of overcoming adversity, from holding back immensely due to a debilitating stutter to performing on stages worldwide, Joze Piranian will deliver his concrete blueprint for building unshakeable resilience, expressing our uniqueness, surrounding ourselves with the right people and rewiring our relationship with fears in order to persevere amidst uncertainty. The transformational insights on resilience and inclusion of his award winning keynote will be infused with comedic moments.
After spending most of his life avoiding speaking due to a debilitating stutter, Joze Piranian is the winner of the Inspirational Speaker of the year award in 2017 and a stand-up comedian who has performed at the Laugh Factory in Chicago, the Stand in Edinburgh and the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto in English, French and Spanish. Two of his talks went viral online last year; they were viewed by more than 3 000 000 people worldwide.
Joze has performed for the United Nations and has delivered keynotes about Inclusion and Conquering Fears at prestigious conferences including the HR Leaders Summit, the Archangel Summit and the Hollywood Innovation and Technology Summit. Joze holds a Bachelor of Commerce and Psychology from McGill University and a Master of International Business from Queen’s University. He is passionate about traveling and foreign languages – he stutters in six of them!
