executive coaching for authentic, emotionally-intelligent leadership
EXECUTIVE | EDUCATOR | SPEAKER | CONSULTANT
20 years of executive experience,
at your team’s service.
Mental health is the silent cornerstone of a successful business. For too long, performance pressure has overshadowed emotional well-being.
Raising mental health awareness is the key to unlocking greater efficiency, retention, and profitability within organizations, creating a foundation for sustainable success.
I'M DR. JOE ORAVECZ!
Dr. Joe Oravecz is a seasoned mental health advocate and CEO of NAMI Broward County, with two decades of leadership experience.
A first-generation college student, and an executive/c-suite leader, who overcame severe anxiety and suicidal ideation, he deeply understands the nexus of mental health and leadership. His transformation into a staunch advocate provides him with invaluable insights for creating supportive work environments.
Dr. Joe’s initiatives have markedly improved mental health resource utilization and cultivated healthier organizational cultures in both educational and corporate spheres.
A single foster-adoptive father, he champions environments where seeking help is empowered. His authentic, engaging presentations inspire leaders to foster vulnerability and build thriving, supportive communities.
"One of the most significant barriers to mental health care is stigma. It’s a veil of misunderstanding and prejudice that can prevent individuals from reaching out for help. I am committed to tearing down this barrier through education, open dialogue, and advocacy."

Strategic transparency is a
learnable skill
Strategic transparency is key to helping employees lead more satisfying lives which, in turn, increases loyalty to employees and professional organizations. The problem is that most leaders don't know where to start, what to share, and how to keep conversations about their own mental health private.
12 billion working days are lost each year to depression and anxiety*
I'm here to change that with executive mental health coaching that breaks down traditional barriers between the C-suite and the employees they serve.

Authentic leadership coach
As a first-generation college student who has slain my own internal monsters of anxiety, depression, and despair, I’m no stranger to the importance of mental health awareness in corporate leadership. My own experiences on the frontline of the mental health battle, and 20 years navigating diverse C-suite environments, have helped me develop a unique set of practical strategies to help leaders successfully navigate discussions about mental health.
