Who is Pouli?
Described by audiences as “having the best eyebrows on the speaking circuit,” Jim "Pouli" Pouliopoulos is a professional speaker, storyteller, sales educator, and happiness expert who helps people perform at their best under pressure.
Drawing on decades of experience in sales, higher education, corporate training, and positive psychology, Pouli explores an unusual question: What if happiness isn't the reward for success, but one of the things that actually creates it?
Whether he's working with salespeople, executives, coaches, educators, or students, Pouli combines research, humor, memorable stories, and practical tools people can use immediately.
Keynotes & Workshops
Pressure changes how we think, communicate, sell, lead, and live. These programs help people perform better when the stakes are high.
(All of these talks can be customized for your organization and can be delivered live, in person or virtually.)
How to Be a Well Being
Be your best self at work and at home. Thought-provoking, full of laughs, and life-changing. Lots of science, but no big words. Develop new habits to increase personal happiness and wellbeing. Challenge your current ways of thinking and re-energize the people in your organization.
The Happy Seller
Want your salespeople to be more effective? Happier salespeople sell more. But happiness isn’t about commissions, bonuses, or closing the next big deal. Pouli uses positive psychology to show why happiness fuels motivation, energy, and ultimately better sales performance.
The New ABCs of Selling
Forget the old sales playbook. Stay centered when the pressure is on. Get genuinely curious. Challenge customers to think differently. And turn better conversations into bigger opportunities.
Thriving Under Pressure
Pressure can push us toward careers, choices, and lives that don’t quite fit. Pouli shows how to tune out the noise, pay attention to the clues, and reconnect with what brings you energy, passion, and purpose.
