Hi there!

I’m Juan, and even though I speak on confidence, I started with very little of it.

For years, I struggled with social anxiety and low self-esteem–which led me to obsess about a simple question: How do we consistently show up at our best? 

10 years later, I finally figured it out.

After researching over 250,000 leaders, I developed a repeatable, science-backed framework that equips leaders with the confidence mindset to take bold action, tap into hidden potential, and ignite extraordinary growth-the Confidence Cycle. Today, I continue to help category-leading organizations, professional athletes, award-winning artists and every day people develop the most important skill we need to thrive in uncertainty: unwavering confidence.

Confidence is the X-factor to go from where we are to the next level and I’ve dedicated my career to helping people tap into the unwavering self-belief they deserve.

When I’m not on stage, you can find me jumping off a cliff on a snowboard, diving with sharks, climbing an active volcano, travelling to a new place, trying a new fitness challenge or just trying a new restaurant with my wife, Gaby. Getting the most out of life remains an integral part of every message I share on stage. It allows me to have new and exciting experiences to share with audiences around the world. As I push myself, I am learning new ways to help others do the same.

Unlock Belief in a Better Future

brush stroke

In the age of AI, uncertainty and rapid change, sustainable growth and peak performance require confident leaders with the courage to blaze a path forward.

As organizations navigate drastic change and disruption, they don’t just need new tools–they need more certain people. People who feel inspired to grow and adapt in the face of uncertainty. Juan has centered his entire body of work around helping leaders break through barriers and reimagine what’s possible by building unshakable confidence.

Imagine an organization where people are excited about the future instead of afraid. Imagine a culture where innovative ideas are shared, not held back. Imagine teams so connected, they’re ready for any challenge that comes their way.

That’s what confidence creates. It ignites a culture of growth and fuels next-level thinking. People stop holding on to the way things used to be and start moving boldly toward what’s next, energized by the journey ahead. They transform how they show up, creating momentum to achieve even the most daunting goals.

That’s the power of confidence.
It’s time to unlock the next level.
