Looking for an education speaker and trainer who instantly connects with your staff or audience?
Are you looking for an education speaker with hilarious presentations, rich with valuable insights, that will leave your audience educated, motivated, entertained and feeling pride in their chosen profession - so at the end of the day they can honestly say, “Today, I made a difference in the lives of kids!”?
For over 20 years, Jim Bob Solsbery has been entertaining and motivating audiences with his down-home humor and upbeat style, which instantly connects him with any crowd. His style, background, and deep appreciation for the education profession have naturally led him to make educators his primary audience for the past 10 years.
"Jim Bob Solsbery - WOW! What an exciting and moving motivational speaker. Teachers left the presentation with a big smile on their face and a feeling of pride for their chosen profession!"

Jim Bob believes the number one element missing in many classrooms is the close-knit relationship educators must build with every child – connections based on a solid understanding of their interests. Madeline Hunter may have said it best: “Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
Jim Bob also applies this same principle to his presentations, connecting with audiences through a shared understanding of the real challenges that educators face every day. Many participants have commented that “Jim Bob relates to me as a classroom teacher. He truly understands and cares about me and the important job I have been asked to do.”
The education environment has never been more diverse and challenging. A variety of serious distractions - exposure to mass media, family problems, or whatever - leave most students unprepared to learn when they come to school. That's why Jim Bob offers very practical strategies that participants can begin using immediately, creating a win-win experience for teachers and students.
In addition to his convocation keynote address, new teacher program, and half-day training, Jim Bob is proud to announce that he's a Certified Trainer for Time To Teach™! This comprehensive program has been proven to restore lost time to teachers and students in a simple, fair, and mutually respectful process.
"...Jim Bob's perspective is always on point and entertaining. I invited him to his third engagement for me as the keynote speaker at a leadership conference for school superintendents - three audiences, three homerun performances. Jim Bob will get another call!"
