“Joshua’s speech was a highly interactive, powerful, eye-opening experience that left a lasting impact on our entire school & community. We left the room seeing things differently.”
Elena de Nobile, English studies - Eichendorffschule, Frankfurt
In 2015, faced with the reality of homelessness increasing in London, I began offering free haircuts for people living on the street, building friendships and connections with those I met.
These interactions changed my life. I founded a global kindness movement called Do Something For Nothing to inspire others to join in with similar actions. Through sharing these stories online, this mission went viral and spread across the globe.
Featured in National Geographic’s The Story of Us w/ Morgan Freeman, my work combines heartfelt inspiration and practical strategies that drive change for a better world.
With a decade of experience in social impact, collaborating with grassroots organizations internationally, I continue my work today with a focus on youth education.
I give speeches and workshops for high school students, inspiring them to connect with their greater purpose, fostering a lasting culture of kindness within the school environment and beyond.
my story.
“Joshua talk was thoroughly uplifting and made everyone think not only about what makes each of us human, but about how we make a positive difference to everyone with whom we come into contact.”
- Victoria Gardner, Director of Academics, Wellington College, UK
Why book me to visit your school?
My speeches get beneath the surface of complex issues and help young people to realize their potential to become ethical leaders in this world.
When I visit schools, I aim to create a culture of kindness for young people to thrive. Empathy serves as a bridge that connects us to the experiences and emotions of others, fostering understanding and compassion. This can transform not only individual lives but entire communities. For students, developing these qualities goes beyond academic success; it cultivates emotional intelligence and innovative thinking, essential tools for navigating an ever-changing world.
By integrating these approaches, students can unlock their unique potential, enriching their personal growth and positively impacting those around them.
