Joel Bravette has a wealth and depth of experience in business, motivation and public speaking.

After reading accountancy & finance at university he started his career working for a FTSE-100 company handling millions of pounds worth of business for major legal and insurer clients. He then relocated to Puerto Banus, Spain where he worked in direct sales and got his first taste for the leisure & entertainment industry working in promotions.

Back in the UK he went on to start his own business enterprise in Leeds City Centre. This culminated in making an educational business programme for Channel 4 detailing the challenges of entrepreneurialism for young people. The experience combined with a naturally personable character led to the beginnings of freelance consultancy for other young entrepreneurs.

As a peak performance coach he has worked with civil servants, athletes, artists and young people all with notable degrees of success.

Since taking up the mantle of public speaking, he has presented in front of varied audiences on various subjects both at home and abroad. From the academic communities at the Institute of Education (IoE) and University of New South Wales, Australia(UNSW) to local community groups in London and students at Middlesex University, he has always been well received and has developed an expansive professional network.

Most recently he has been well received as a documentary photographer with recent displays at the Menier Gallery, London and as part of the London Design Festival (LDF). These displays have been accompanied by in-depth workshops explaining the meaning behind the social challenges of his work.
