Dr. Ivan Joseph, Ph.D, leads individuals, teams, and organizations to success. While serving as a professor and soccer coach at Graceland University (a century-old liberal arts university in southern Iowa), he developed the soccer program from the ground up, leading both the men's and women's teams to a #1 national ranking and the men's team to a National Championship, in just five years. The NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) recognized Dr. Joseph as National Coach of the Year in 2006, and three times he received Coach of the Year recognition in the Heart of America Athletic Conference.

In his current role as Director of Athletics at Ryerson University in Toronto, Dr. Joseph is guiding the transformation of the Ryerson Rams athletic department, raising the academic average of athletes, increasing team performance, and he has recently completed a $100 million dollar renovation of historic Maple Leaf Gardens--a project so big and inspiring, Prime Minister Stephen Harper himself showed up to turn on the lights.

An educator and organizational leader who has brought about cultural transformation, Dr. Joseph is a sought after speaker on developing personal and organizational leadership. He speaks about self-confidence, the "grit" to persevere in spite of setbacks, and leading teams to success. Dynamic and inspiring, the stories and lessons he shares apply to business and to life.

Born in Guyana, Dr. Joseph grew up in Toronto where he was a nationally ranked high-school track and field athlete. He has a BA in Physical Education and Health, a MA in Higher Education Administration, and a PhD in Sports Psychology.
