Meet Joe Schmit

Joe Schmit is a 19-time Emmy Award–winning broadcaster, leadership speaker, and Minnesota Speakers Hall of Fame inductee who helps organizations build cultures of impact that drive loyalty.

Over a 40-year career at the same television station, Joe learned firsthand that loyalty isn’t demanded—it’s earned. His longevity and success were built on trust, consistency, and the ability to make intentional impact in everyday moments. Those real-world lessons now form the foundation of his work with leaders and teams across the country. Through powerful storytelling, humor, and practical tools, Joe shows leaders how culture is shaped one interaction at a time—and how small, intentional actions lead to stronger engagement, higher retention, and better performance. His programs don’t just inspire; they equip leaders with strategies they can use immediately. Joe is the author of Silent Impact, Impact Blueprint, and the children’s book The Right Thing to Do – The Joe Mauer Story, which has inspired an award-winning stage musical. Whether on stage, in the boardroom, or on screen, Joe’s mission is simple: help leaders create cultures people believe in—and refuse to leave.
