Joze Piranian is a Lebanese-Canadian keynote speaker, stand-up comedian, and five-time TEDx speaker, renowned for transforming his lifelong stutter into a platform for inspiring resilience and inclusion. Born in Lebanon, Piranian avoided speaking for over 25 years due to fear of judgment, moving to Montreal at 18 to study at McGill University, earning a Bachelor's in Commerce and Psychology, and later earning a Master's in International Business from Queen's University.
Initially seeking a low-speaking career as a research analyst, he joined Toastmasters and a debate club, confronting his fears through public speaking and comedy. His talks, delivered in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic across three continents, focus on overcoming adversity, embracing differences, and fostering inclusive workplaces for clients like Google, Tesla, and Meta. Featured in Forbes and CBC, his 2017 Inspirational Speaker of the Year award and viral TEDx talks have amassed over three million views.
