I’m Human Experiences
For years, Rob believed great leadership meant relentless drive and constant control until that mindset nearly broke him. His turning point came with three simple words: “I’m human.” In acknowledging his limits and embracing vulnerability, Rob discovered that true power, clarity, and influence doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from humanity. This realization reshaped not only how he leads, but how he teaches leadership today. It is the core philosophy behind both of his keynotes, guiding leaders to perform at their highest level by leading from who they are, not who they think they should be.
It’s this belief, that leadership starts with being human, is the foundation behind his keynote experiences.

“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.”
