Dr. Willie Jolley

There are many motivational speakers, and then there is the one, the only, the incomparable Dr. Willie Jolley. He truly is a renaissance man! He is a serial entrepreneur and global consultant/thought leader. He is also a Hall of Fame speaker, an award-winning singer, an international best-selling author, a popular national radio show host, and a dynamic television personality.

Dr. Willie Jolley has achieved remarkable heights in the speaking industry, having come from humble beginnings of being a fired singer who was replaced by a karaoke machine! He has gone on to be named “One of the Outstanding Five Speakers in the World” and “Motivational & Inspirational Speaker of The Year” by the 175,000 members of Toastmasters International. In 2005, he was inducted into the prestigious Speaker Hall of Fame and received the C.P.A.E.

Dr. Jolley started his speaking career as a drug prevention coordinator for the DC Public School System and went on to speak to millions of youth around the world and produce the first PBS Special for teens. As a result of his popularity with youth audiences, he started receiving speaking request calls from other industry sectors and went on to great success speaking to colleges, associations and corporations. In 2014, he replaced the legendary Zig Ziglar on the National Get Motivated Tour.
