James Robilotta, CSP, 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).

In this hysterical and motivational keynote, “Do You Even Know Me?: How Curiosity Creates Community in the Workplace,” James will talk about how to ask better questions, change the way we hear people’s stories and insights, and adapt the mindset of curiosity.

“No organization wants its people to be apathetic toward the work, the people, or the community,” James said. “Community ignites loyalty and drives retention in both in-person and hybrid workplaces and is built with one simple thing: curiosity. Curiosity is the opposite of apathy. Events are ideal opportunities to authentically connect, reflect, validate, and innovate. Let’s stop the apathy and the assuming and start learning about each other because curiosity creates community.”

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. 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.
