We are laser focused on 3 areas that build a profitable speaking business: Speaking – the Business of Speaking, Publishing and Media.

DAY ONE: SPEAKING AND MEDIA

Speaking

Dr. Willie Jolley has generated millions of dollars speaking over the last 30 years.  And you too can increase your income by sharing your message with the world – if you know how to do it!  

To grow your speaking enterprise, you have two approaches available to you – Mentors or Mistakes!  Both will get you there if you just don’t give up.

But one will get you there with less headaches, heartaches, and knots upside your head!  

Dr. Jolley will give you TIPS (Techniques, Ideas, Principles and Strategies) to grow your speaking enterprise faster and more efficiently.

This symposium is not for the new speaker trying to figure out the basics of professional speaking. Instead, we recommend visiting www.youcanspeaknow.com for insights and suggestions on how to proceed.

This symposium is for the individual who is already speaking and is ready to jettison their speaking business to the next level of income and impact.

Only a few speakers have passed the test of time with over 30 years of full-time speaking experience, having been lauded as one of the best in the world!  

Learn from this professional speaking legend. Avoid the potholes and land mines that stop many emerging speakers in their tracks!

This symposium is a must for those who are truly serious about growing their speaking business.

Media

Being featured as an expert on a popular radio, television, podcast or other media can expose your knowledge and experience to a wide audience. This can increase your authority and influence in your industry. It can even lead to other revenue streams for you.

When people hear you speak, they may be more willing to seek out your products or services, recommend you (your products or services) to others.

“Television and radio separate the big boys from everyone else,” according to TD Jakes, American bishop, author and filmmaker.

You must separate yourself from the pack or get eaten alive by them!

“Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the movie that won the 95th Oscar for best picture at the Academy Awards is the “hands down theme for MASS MEDIA RIGHT NOW!”

How do you manage this constant “being everything everywhere, all at once” for mass media?

DAY TWO: SPEAKING AND PUBLISHING

Speaking

“To be a person is to have a story to tell.” – Isak Dinesen (pen name for Karen Christenze Dinesen, Denmark’s most prominent twentieth century author)

People don’t want more information. They want to trust you as their presenter.

Facts tell. But your stories must sell.

The audience is looking for a reason to believe what you are sharing with them. You need to influence them to believe in you and get them to “buy in” to your ideas.

The story is your pathway to creating that faith in you.

Telling a meaningful story inspires your audience to reach the same conclusions you did, but for themselves. And then they are inclined to do what you want them to do.

People value their own conclusions over yours. Once people make your story their story, you have influenced them.

Sticky!

Tell stories that stick. Why?

Stories have the power to capture and hold an audience’s attention. A well-told story can engage listeners emotionally, build trust and make them more invested in your presentation.

Sharing your personal or relatable stories build rapport with your audience. It can help you create a sense of empathy and understanding.

Stories can help make complex or abstract ideas more accessible and easier to understand. Use examples and analogies to help your audience grasp concepts that might otherwise be difficult to explain.

People are more likely to remember stories than a list of facts or statistics. Weaving your message into compelling stories, gets your presentation to stick with your audience long after your presentation is over.

Telling stories can inspire your audience to act or make changes in their own lives or businesses.

Publishing

Why publish?

Your book is the business card of today!

Marketing Tool

Your book replaced that tattered business card. It’s now your personal brand statement. Use it to differentiate yourself in the marketplace and promote your expertise to attract new clients or customers.

You Are the Authority

Jolley Rich
Speaking, Publishing and Media
symposium FAQS

Who will actually teach the symposium?

Dr. Willie Jolley.

Why is Dr. Jolley conducting speaking symposiums?

Everywhere he goes, Dr. Jolley is asked about getting into the speaking business. They want to do lunch or get on his calendar. That is not enough time to explain this business!

This business is too complex to learn in an hour, a month, a year or even several years! But, we offer free introductory materials at www.youcanspeaknow.com for people not ready to even “put their toe in the water.”

Yet, with a solid foundation of information, mentors and coaches, you can build a profitable speaking business.
And that requires an investment!

Remember, because you can speak, does not mean you are building a profitable business!

Is this symposium like Toastmasters?

No! Toastmasters tells you how to speak. The Jolley Rich Speaking, Publishing and Media Symposium teaches you how to get paid to speak!

Is this an entry level program?

No.

This symposium is designed for people who want to become more proficient at the business side of speaking. They want to master selling their ideas via media and publishing.

This is NOT for people who have a fear of speaking, or no clue about their passion or their basic message, and/or not willing to invest the time and energy in learning this craft.

There are so many speaking programs out there. Why choose yours?

There are thousands of speaking programs out there. That allows you to pick the ones that will work for you.

Consider these points before making your selection:

  1. Research the instructors. Do they make their living speaking professionally or are they professional instructors only?
  2. What plan and/or resources will you take away that will help you build your business.
  3. Is there ongoing access to the instructor and/or their community?
  4. Are you sitting and watching or actively participating in your learning?

Do I get to ask questions?

You may ask any questions! Our symposiums have small group settings. Each person can get individual attention.
