Joe M. Turner

Joe M. Turner is an escaped management consultant turned author, speaker, and corporate entertainer based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Even while successfully climbing the ladder as a change management specialist in a global consulting firm, Joe never abandoned his deep skills in the performing arts including piano and vocal music, theatre, and illusion arts, especially sleight-of-hand magic and mentalism. He ultimately combined his performing talents with his business experience to create a new business and an exciting new career.

Now Joe speaks and entertains at conferences and other events across America as well as internationally. Using magic and illusion as a tool for engagement, entertainment, and communication, he presents keynotes and after-dinner programs all over the world as "The Chief Impossibility Officer." His book "High JOEltage (101 JOElts for Becoming Amazingly Effective)" is now available, and he is at work on his upcoming book "5 Kinds of Amazing."

Joe and his wife Rosemary are the proud parents of Hayley and Preston. You can connect with Joe online at www.turnermagic.com, as well as on Facebook and LinkedIn. Follow Joe on Twitter at @turnermagic - and expect to see the occasional #hailstate in his tweets.
