About Joseph King Barkley
Joseph King Barkley worked himself onto a stretcher. He created exceptional results over 15 years of entrepreneurship and non-profit work, but was on a collision course with burnout that didn’t just take its toll on his body, but on his marriage, kids, and friendships.
But he made a critical decision at his lowest point that set him up for even greater results with greater health, freedom, joy, and creativity. When Joseph speaks, he ignites transformation because these concepts aren’t theoretical, they are tested and proven in his own life.
Joseph has brought his unique mix of clear information, profound insights, and unforgettable inspiration to platforms of all sizes—in virtual intensives for leadership teams to stages in front of 22,000 people.

Keynote Topics
AIM, READY, FIRE
How to end confusion, spark passion, and be miles ahead of the competition
We’ve all heard the phrase “Ready, Aim, Fire!” in military movies. Unfortunately, that’s how most people on your team are approaching their lives and work. I’ll keep myself busy, go to the conventions, read the occasional book, listen to some podcasts in hopes of getting traction. There’s a better way that saves so much time and money (and keeps good people longer). If we decide to be a culture of Aim, Ready, Fire; we will know where we’re going, what we’ll need to get there, and how we know we’ve succeeded.
WILL > WANT
The one decision that only the top 8% of high performers make
Frustration and regret come from one place: outcomes not matching expectations. A lot of leaders, managers, teams—a lot of your potential clients and customers!—have no shortage of wants. The question becomes, “What will we do to get more of what we want?” This talk creates an exciting and simple way to “run experiments”, build incredible confidence, and see results. It’s the only way to live and work without regret.
QUIT WHILE YOU’RE AHEAD
Why succeeding is the best time to innovate and reinvent.
Forget the 15 minutes of fame. You want to achieve success and sustain it. Learn how to identify when “too much of a good thing” threatens to intoxicate your company or industry and how to know precisely when to launch a new chapter or idea. It will help you stay in the front of the pack as the world continues to shift around you.
THE LONG HAUL
Creating a culture of sustained progress and joy in the workplace.
Joseph was working so hard during one season of his life that it landed him in the hospital on a date night! Since then, he’s learned how to allocate his energy and talents in ways that give him boundless energy, focus, and huge dividends. It’s not only what we want as leaders, it’s the culture we want to create. This will make work life-giving and the workplace magnetic to the best candidates.
