  • When Joseph first reached out to SpeakOUT he was eager to become an active speaker for the organization. I was immediately impressed with his ability to share his own story and connect with our audiences. And his commitment to making a difference for LGBTQ+ people has only grown through his board membership and with being a part of our Training Team that prepares our new speakers. Joseph is a creative thinker, an adept strategist, and an invaluable member of the SpeakOUT community.

  • Joseph Alcantara has always been one of the most inspiring figures in our community. He’s charismatic, articulate, smart and passionate. But what I love most about him is how he leads with purpose. When someone rallies you towards a collective cause you know will benefit a greater number of people, you respond with a deep sense of pride and almost never run out of fight. But this is just the beginning as heart without strategy and execution doesn’t really get you far. Joseph always shows up in his best form and never hesitates to use his own resources to demonstrate to everyone how to get the job done. He is an asset in any organization he’s a part of. And if we had the chance, I would love for him to continue mentoring and influencing me towards raising my game.

  • Joseph's mentorship has significantly transformed my approach to job searching and career development. From recommending a revamped resume template to pinpointing the most effective times for various activities, his insightful advice has been invaluable. Under his guidance, I experienced a notable increase in interview opportunities, a testament to the effectiveness of his counsel. Additionally his structured and practical approach helped me prioritize which skills were most relevant to develop, something I had struggled to identify on my own. Joseph's empathetic and encouraging support has been instrumental in boosting my confidence and motivation, especially during moments of setback. Without his assistance, I would have felt lost. With Joseph's kindness, I've been more invigorated in my pursuit of finding my dream role.

  • Joseph is one of the people I highly look up to in the marketing industry. As my mentor, he has provided invaluable guidance during the early years of my career as a brand and marketing manager. Our conversations always enrich me with insights and leave me humbled, reminding me of how much more there is to learn. I relished the learning process with a touch of tough love — hearing from him the good, the bad, and the ugly. Through our interactions, I have come to appreciate his brilliance and his wealth of experience spanning over 20 years. His communication skills and adept handling of tough questions in public forums have also left me thoroughly impressed. Joseph’s character and expertise is a beacon for my own aspirations.
