Willie Jolley

"Your message of the importance of taking a positive approach to a less than desirable situation was refreshing and inspirational, and exactly what the employees needed to hear. The professional style in which you delivered your message gave you instant credibility and allowed the audience to value the information that you were providing. Your willingness to adjust to adverse speaking conditions at several venues was greatly appreciated, as was your flexibility exhibited in accepting last minute changes to both scheduled dates and times."

"We are truly amazed each year at the amount of work and effort it takes to plan and execute the Sagicor Motivational Seminar. My eyes have only now been opened to the fact that we truly are on a NEW MISSION each time we set out to raise the bar year after year with our seminar. A significant part of the mission is to find world class speakers who will inspire, uplift and resonate. We accomplished our mission when we found you! We cannot express in words how grateful we are for your contribution to the success of SMS2012. Your inspirational, uplifting and thought-provoking message resonated with the entire team. It is unquestionable how far your message has reached and the value it has added to our individual journey. This is already evident in the overwhelming volume of calls and e-mails that we have received since the conclusion of your presentation. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to connect with you and in turn connect you with the rest of the team. Our attendees left feeling a renewed sense of hope and spirit to challenge their individual and collective mission going forward. On behalf of the entire Sagicor family, we say thank you and wish you all the best in your future pursuits."

"Having Mr. Willie Jolley as one of our two keynote speakers this past February,and the feedback we continue to receive is awe-inspiring. Willie's message from the stage was both captivating and humbling,and what made him especially unique was the fact that his appearance did not end when his speech was over,but instead,he made himself available in our Marketplace to meet employees and hear their stories. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to meet and work with Wlilie Jolley and we are excited to continue to find new ways we can work with and learn from him in the future."

"Please let me express to you the impact you made at our meeting last week. You are an exceptionally inspiri ng, highly energetic, forward-thi nking, motivational speaker. I knew i t was the right decision to have you speak to my fellow team members when at the end of the presentation you received a standing ovation. Willie, I look forward to your return to give us our six-month check up. However, a week after the presentation our team members are still talking about your insight into exceptional service and what it means to each of us personally as well as professionally."

Dear Dr. Jolley: Please accept this letter of sincere appreciation for your presentation at the Strategic Planning Committee Retreat for the University of the District of Columbia. Your presentation helped to support our theme, "Vision 2020: A Roadmap for Renewal, Innovation, Success and Sustainability." Retreat participants were intrigued by your message and have acknowledged the timeliness of the topics discussed. Your inspiration and enthusiasm helped to establish the tone for the work that remains to be done with our process. Thank you again for your contributions to this critical effort for the University and we appreciate your support.

"Unbelievable","Fantastic","Uplifting" were just a few of the comments that I heard after your extremely motivating presentation to our Sales Executives in Orlando. Thank you so much for being a part of our Sales Training Conference. You were the perfect ending to a great meeting and it is difficult to find the words to express how you made everyone feel. Your enthusiasm and passion for life was apparent when you addressed our group. Our Sales Executives have sent me letters, notes and emails about the conference and they have all referenced what a difference you made in how they will approach their jobs as well as their lives. Our Sales Training Conference survey has returned with you receiving the highest marks from the group. Thanks again for an outstanding performance. You were right on the mark and accomplished everything we needed."

"On behalf of the Society for Human Resource Management, please accept my heartfelt and sincere thanks for the inspiring presentation you gave the SHRM staff. I believe your message touched many lives. Your unique and motivating style caused us all to think more carefully about taking responsibility for our own words, thoughts and deeds. Diversity messages can sometimes be murky, and the audience may go away not clearly understanding-or being moved by-the speaker's message. That, however, was not the case with you. By bringing us through an enlightening journey about valuing diversity, you helped us understand the importance of leadership, change, challenge and responsibility. The stories you chose to punctuate your teaching points were as profound as they were memorable. Thank you for reinforcing life's important lessons. Thank you too for reminding us how important it is to dream, to care, and to make music together by embracing diversity and valuing it."

Thank you for enhancing our First Report Rally for the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington's Building Bridges Campaign. Your motivational remarks were poignant, timely and extremely energizing. Every time I hear you speak, I am reminded of why you are "The Jolley-Good Guru of Acclaimed Speakers!" Many attendees have shared how your books, CDs and audio clips have positively impacted their perspective and renewed their sense of self. For many years you have partnered with the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington to foster the spiritual, mental and physical development of individuals, families and communities according to the ideals of inclusiveness, equality and mutual respect for all. Thank you for helping the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington remain committed to strengthening communities in the areas of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We appreciate your generosity and look forward to working with you again in the near future."

"Dear Willie, THANK YOU ... not only for your inspiring message of hope and tenacity but for making our real estate team feel so very special. You obviously did your research and listened to our challenges. Real estate people, like many others in our country, have been suffering. You tailored your message to our professional needs. But you also touched our hearts by your profound personal message and willingness to spend additional time at our reception and afterwards to recognize and encourage so many of our group. If you need a personal endorsement, have anyone call me. YOU DESERVE TO BE LABELED ONE OF AMERICA'S VERY BEST SPEAKERS! Thanks for making our convention one of the very best. You delivered!"
