"We were seeking support for our strategic plan, yet what we received was so much more. I watched with amazement as Joe Caruso led our Leader Team through the process of radical transformation. I wasn't sure it was possible. But since we started our work with CLI, we have transformed our company from a start-up operation to a profitable, explosive growth operation by learning, owning and using the principles Joe teaches."

"Joe Caruso is one of the world's leading innovators in understanding business thinking and on how to effectively change business thinking. He brings this to us in amazingly compelling and effective presentations and writing. His clients successes are testimony to this fact."

"I really enjoyed your talk at our business forum dinner.  It was inspiring.  I took away a couple key messages, but there was clearly one that stood out.  It was your reminder to us as leaders, that we need to define for our organizations, the meaning of the events that are happening around us, and that sometimes telling a story is much more compelling than reviewing facts and metrics."

"...For the next hour, Caruso held the audience in thrall with his unique mix of inspiration and advice, a message he spreads 180 days a year at corporate seminars and conventions around the world...Charismatic and driven, he could be on the cusp of stardom in the multi-billion dollar motivational business...Yet his own motivation seems to run deeper than wealth and fame. To hear him tell it, his success is a byproduct of an insatiable need to share the lessons of his own remarkable life..."

"Joe Caruso’s concept about The Power of Losing Control absolutely establishes the basis for individual and organizational transformation. I believe Caruso is on the brink of leading corporate America through a shift in approach that hasn’t been seen since the ’7 Habits.’"

"The simplicity of what Joe teaches makes it seem almost magical. I have never seen such dramatic, long-lasting results achieved in such a short time. Had I not experienced it myself, I would have thought it impossible."

"As a former Vice President of Human Resources for a major automotive supplier, training and culture changes were a big part of my job. I've studied Joe Caruso and his techniques. I've interviewed and worked with his clients. And I've personally employed his methods and concepts. When it comes to culture change, I'm convinced there's no better guy in the country than Joe Caruso."

"Joe, I've seen you speak a number of times at Board of Director's meetings, to rooms full of CEO's and to large public audiences. Your message is universal, and your talent is undeniable. I want you to know that when 'The Power of Losing Control' becomes a book, you're going to have a huge corporate market due to the number of CEO's who will make it required reading for all their employees. And I'll be one of the first in line."

"I've never seen such an impact from a one-day program. I didn't think people could change the way they have. What's even more impressive is that the change is lasting."

"The biggest challenge in helping an organization make a transition is getting the top people to transition themselves. I've watched Joe Caruso get high powered, successful, smart and self-assured people to listen and even change their minds. This makes him a CEO's greatest tool."

"I met you in 1996 when you were a speaker for Columbia Sussex Annual Meetings. I walked away from that meeting so empowered by what I had learned about myself. In 1997 our hotel went from the bottom of our company to the top in Guest Service Scores. We received several awards and recognition for our efforts. I have grown so much as an individual, both personally and professionally. Thank you for helping me so much."

"The only problem with Joe Caruso and Caruso Leadership Institute is being able to effectively respond to all of the business they helped us generate!"

"I went from being an average sales person to the top sales person in my company nationally thanks to Joe Caruso and his incredibly effective approach to sales."

"I've been using Joe Caruso as a personal consultant for years. His ability to get a quick take on things and then consistently make solid recommendations still amazes me. He is a rare combination of a great thinker and a great communicator who knows people."

"Joe's ability to capture and hold his audience's attention is second to none. The powerful combination of his personal story and corporate insights can drive sustainable change throughout an organization. He's definitely NOT your average Joe!"

"Changing one's perspective can be the key to enhancing personal and corporate performance. Joe provides the tools that help you enrich your personal life and unlock new opportunities when guiding the growth of companies in this fast paced and ever changing business climate."

"Joe's helped us not just change as a culture, but truly transition. He's also been instrumental in helping key individuals make drastic changes in their lives and in their work—including me. When I first met Joe, I was the biggest cynic in the company. After seeing what Joe's done here, I can't believe there is an organization he can't help."

"After seeing Joe at my association meeting, I knew we needed him to talk with our group. Joe gave the perfect message in a meaningful and unforgettable way. He's one of the best speakers I've ever heard."

"I've hired Joe to work with my salespeople all over the country. Joe is incredibly powerful and consistent at teaching people how to think about themselves and what they do in a more powerful, positive way. He has brilliant insights into human nature and, beyond that, he has a gift for transferring his knowledge through the use of compelling, provocative and unforgettable stories."

"Joe knows how to change minds first and the results just follow. As a video producer, I've worked with some of the top names in the self-help business including Marc Victor Hansen and Brian Tracy. Joe Caruso is truly one of the best I've ever seen at knowing his stuff and connecting with his audience. He's helped me a great deal in my life."

"As you are well aware, your "Power of Losing Control" has served as a great platform for years for us at the bank. From the executive VP's to the part-time tellers, you've helped my people define what they can control, let go of what they can't, and find their power in the process. I get excited and a little proud every time I hear that another member of YPO has brought you in to work with their organization. Thanks for letting me read some of the chapters from your upcoming book. I know you've done well in your career so far, but I really believe that 'The Power of Losing Control' will put you in the leagues of Steven Covey."

"This book is enjoyable, thought-provoking and touching. Joe Caruso has been a consultant and advisor to the leadership team at Village Green Companies for years. I fully endorse Joe, his work and especially this book."
