"Bob eloquently and directly talked through his passion for and experiences in building company culture to produce and nurture high performance teams and gave attendees actionable tactics and valuable insights to take back to their organizations and put forth in their daily lives.

“Bob was recently a keynote speaker for our flagship conference in Sun Valley on creating a healthy, high-performing culture. To leave an audience of exceptional CEOs with one or two thought provoking ideas about their people is rare—Bob punched way above this mark. I heard nothing but great feedback from attendees. I recommend him highly.”
- Dave Whorton, Founder & CEO of Tugboat Group
“Bob’s keynote presentation at our annual Bloomberg Scale-up Summit Conference was really eye-opening for our attendees – especially around how their marketing and business development partnerships can be scaled in a digital world. He even showcased his ability to think on his feet when he answered an audience-member’s question with a live case study at the end of his presentation. Bob ensures his presentations are engaging, insightful and create value for those in attendance. I highly recommend him as a speaker.”
- Verne Harnish, Chair Bloomberg Scale-up Summit

We highly recommend Bob for a speaking engagement!”

"It is hard to articulate into words on how charismatic Bob was and how well he resonated with both our local and international audience. As the Event Organiser and Host, I was quite overwhelmed with the feedback from the audience. Bob’s willingness to share his experience and expertise so eloquently in the area of culture, leadership and remote working was critical to the success of this event. I will gladly work with Bob again – a highly professional and engaging speaker."
