Join us for an unforgettable meeting with the Master of Meaningful Moments!

Joshua Routh, CSP

Keynote Speaker | Author | Sword Swallower | Culture Transformer

Joshua Routh is not your average speaker—and thank goodness for that. As a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), author, and founder of Circus Kaput, Joshua blends the heart of a leader with the flair of a showman. He’s known for swallowing swords, but his real skill is cutting through the noise and getting to the core of what makes workplaces thrive: connection, sincerity, and a whole lot less complaining.

If you’re looking for a speaker who inspires real change with real charm, Joshua is your guy.

Additionally, we are excited to announce that GBTA | Puget Sound is partnering with YouthCare, a Seattle-based nonprofit with 50 years of experience working to end youth homelessness and to ensure that young people are valued for who they are and empowered to achieve their potential. Accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), YouthCare is recognized for meeting and exceeding the highest standards for social service organizations. Operating six sites across Seattle, YouthCare serves over 1,500 young people each year through individualized care and programs tailored to their unique needs and goals. From early intervention and shelter to housing, education, and employment training, as well as a range of community partnerships, such as legal aid, mental and physical healthcare, and post-secondary support, YouthCare provides comprehensive services that help young people gain the stability, skills, and confidence to thrive in adulthood.
