Rob sets the stage for finding one's true calling in life. He is a passionate, authentic, caring person driven not only in the pursuit of his own personal growth, but also the growth of those around him as well. His ability to lead by example is demonstrated in his personal journey from a dark abyss to a mountain top for which he so courageously shares as a guiding light of hope for others. Rob's ability to story tell a pathway for all of us to learn from is truly a priceless gift!

Well done Rob, what a great presentation! Thank you for sharing your unfortunate past experiences, your strength radiated through the delivery of a very inspirational presentation. I am sure many, if not all in that auditorium would be having an in-depth self-reflection, and the ones who have been impacted by ‘Bad Bossery’ will be finding greater strength and will not have the feeling of being in isolation. Kudos to you for delivering your powerful message about the struggles of mental health and suicide that still exist in the workplace.

Rob is an incredible human who cares deeply about others, his ability to coach from the chair to a live podcast and now the main stage is in an experience unlike another! He can share his deepest experience while making it your own, which becomes relatable and in turn helps us look inward followed by healing. Rob is an inspiration, on a mission to change the way leadership is played today!

Thanks so much for your keynote. It was a powerful way to start my morning. The research you shared and your connections to heavy industry were very impactful, but I was most moved by your personal experience, of course. I absolutely LOVE that you made the critical connection to implementation/culture as the domain of leadership. The fact that your turnaround led you to coach dozens of leaders who by extension help a thousand employees is what motivates me on my own journey. There is potential in our pain. I have miles to go, but your example is motivating. I strive to be as vulnerable and as constructive as you have become for your audiences.

From the locker room to the Mainstage, Rob is able to read the room and open up space for courageous conversations. He leads by example as he shares his journey of overcoming obstacles in business and life. He speaks from the heart and has a way of making every human in the room know they are worthy and that he truly cares about their growth as the leader of their own life.
