Meet Rob Jolles
Meet Rob Jolles
Speaker. Author. Podcast Host. Presentation Coach.
For more than three decades, Rob Jolles has traveled close to three million miles, teaching, entertaining, and inspiring audiences around the world. A sought-after keynote speaker and five-time bestselling author, Rob has delivered workshops, trainings, and talks for companies across North America, Europe, Africa, and the Far East.
Rob is one of the most tenured stand-up trainers in the country, with a deep background in designing and delivering live and virtual presentations. His book How to Run Seminars & Workshops (now in its 4th edition with John Wiley & Sons) has sold over 100,000 copies and is considered one of the most respected resources ever written on the art of presenting.
Before launching his speaking and coaching career, Rob served as a sales trainer for New York Life and Xerox Corporation, ultimately becoming the most tenured sales trainer in Xerox history. He co-created the Xerox Institute of Customer Education, led the training of all Xerox sales trainers for more than eight years, and helped shape how professionals communicate and present in high-stakes environments.
Today, Rob brings that same expertise to presenters looking to elevate their delivery. Through one-on-one coaching, group sessions, and virtual workshops, he helps speakers sharpen their message, build confidence, and deliver presentations that engage, persuade, and stick.
The Presentation Whisperer Show
The Presentation Whisperer Show
The Presentation Whisperer Show is Rob’s newest venture; a show dedicated to the craft of communication. Rob sits down with professional speakers, trainers, authors, and passionate communicators to explore how great presentations come to life.
Whether you’re a keynote speaker, a corporate trainer, an author learning to share your story from the stage, or someone who just wants to improve his or her ability to speak in public, Rob’s goal is simple: to help you make every moment on stage count.
From someone who has spent a lifetime on stage as a professional speaker, an actor, a licensed live auctioneer, a corporate trainer, a panel host, a talent show emcee, and more, The Presentation Whisperer Show is the culmination of a career devoted to performance, presence, and pouring every ounce of energy and enthusiasm into every presentation.
It’s where Rob brings his passion for the craft to life helping others step up, stand out, and make every word, and every moment, truly count…
Because every presentation matters.
Rob is also the creator and host of Pocket Sized Pep Talks, a podcast with more than 500 episodes and a place among the top 2% of downloads nationally. For six years, he’s delivered short, motivational “Pep Talks” and long-form interviews that have inspired thousands of listeners.
But success brings reflection. Rob realized that while Pocket Sized Pep Talks reached a wide audience, listeners never quite knew what to expect from week to week. That realization sparked a new idea — one that brings clarity, purpose, and focus to the art of speaking itself.
