James Robilotta
Author, Emcee, Keynote Speaker, Trainer
James Robilotta is a leadership author, motivational speaker, emcee, and trained improv comedian. After years of building, training, and leading teams, James followed an entrepreneurial dream and built two successful businesses. The first is an organization that incorporates freestyle rap into improv comedy (a success story for another day). And the second is his speaking and coaching business (a success story for today).
James has been speaking internationally to willing and unwilling audiences since 2009 and has found that quality humor is the secret to hosting powerful conversations that make a genuine impact. His attendees leave feeling recharged, introspective, and ready to get out of their own way.

Professional Summary
With years of research (and a few too many real-life case studies within his work), James has learned everything he can about fighting apathy and building strong company cultures. He uses this insight to help leaders manage and retain talent, give feedback that sticks, and help organizations create community buy-in using curiosity.
James’ cornerstone concept is that we, as humans, can’t learn from people who are perfect; we can only learn from people who are imperfect. And companies like American Express, GE, Accenture, and Afterpay have gravitated toward this message and found the insights to be invaluable in shifting the way their people show up for each other.
James is working to bring humanity and community back into the workplace. He is on a mission to ensure that people are seen, heard, respected, and giggling a little, too.
“James was a breath of fresh air for our company who is suffering burnout from all the uncertainty of the world. It was nice to have a company event that didn’t feel corporate at all, James is as authentic as they come.”
