Joe Caruso

After being diagnosed with an incurable cancer while he was still in college, Joe decided to commit whatever time he had left to spending five hours per day, five days per week, studying life. He wanted to identify what he now refers to as Simple, Common, Timeless Human Truths about life that are undeniable. In his quest, Joe felt compelled to answer a simple, yet difficult question, before he was overcome by the cancer:

What is the essence of a fulfilling, successful and happy life?

What Joe couldn’t know when he made this promise was that with incredible advances in chemotherapy, he would become one of the first people ever cured of metastasized, testicular cancer. With this new gift of health, he decided he would continue his study, and soon began to systematically collect and analyze his findings. His efforts culminated in a best-selling book and PBS special, both called The Power of Losing Control, as well as a highly successful career as a compelling and engaging keynote speaker.

Simple, Common, Timeless Human Truths for Businesses and Organizations – The Seven Drivers

As the world began to learn more about Joe, and vice versa, businesses and organizations wanted him to apply his findings to their needs. With that, Joe set about applying his tried and true approach of studying life to studying the Simple, Common, Timeless, Truths about Business and organizational success, resulting in the Seven Drivers analytics approach.

Joe is now acclaimed as one of the most respected business and organizational advisors in the world. He is the only non-multi-national CEO to be invited to address the Admirals and Generals at the National Defense University. Joe has also been invited to teach and share his findings at the Keenan Flagler Business School, and the Naval Post-Graduate Academy, and was named one of the 50 Most Influential Minds in Personal Development by Nightingale-Conant.

Today, Admirals, Generals, CEO’s, and leaders of the most prestigious businesses and organizations in the world have called on Caruso Leadership for analysis and advisement.

Joe lives one third of the year on an island betwee Michigan and Canada with his wife, Carol. The rest of the year they travel for business and pleasure.
