Why Jolles Associates, Inc?

The goal of motivating, inspiring, and entertaining an audience is not lost on us, however, it means nothing if the ideas presented are not informative and measurable. A pioneer in teaching repeatable, predictable processes, from keynote, to training seminar, Rob includes actionable implementation strategies in every presentation. To ensure any presentation delivered doesn’t fall into the, “flavor of the month” category, all keynotes are presented with speaker’s notes handouts, and all workshops are presented with participant guides, and job aids.
