You've heard the jingles for Pizza Hut? Cadillac? Oldsmobile? 7/11 Stores? Then you've heard Willie Jolley. These are just a handful of the dozens of commercials Willie recorded during a professional singing career which began when he signed his first record deal at the age of seventeen! You might still be hearing his boppin' R&B style, if it weren't for an unsuccessful singing engagement that ended in Nashville. "I suddenly realized I had put my destiny in the hands of others. I realized I was more than just a singer. It was a moment that changed my life." When Willie returned to his home in Washington, D.C., he began changing the course of his life. Soon after this, he was invited to give an inspirational talk at a junior college. This shaped his next step. "I sang a song and then spoke for fifteen minutes. People were taking notes! They wanted handouts! They believed I had something to say!" Indeed he did... and does. Since that day in 1991, Willie has carved out a niche for himself as America's Leading Speaker, Singer, Author combination! In fact, he was recently named the "Outstanding Motivational/Inspirational Speaker of the Year” by Toastmasters International. Mr. Jolley also earned The National Speakers Association's Certified Speaking Professional Award, which is held by less than 7% of the speakers in America! . Mr. Jolley is the author of two books - the international bestseller, It Only Takes A Minute To Change Your Life! and A Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback which debuted on the Washington Post Bestsellers List. He hosts the syndicated radio and television shows The Magnificent Motivational Minute. Mr. Jolley is a native of Washington, DC.
