There’s no doubt, Rob’s training has enhanced my ability to authentically present and communicate in a clearer, concise and more compelling fashion, irrespective of the audience.

“Rob ran a great training session on Impact and Influence for our presenters and growth coaches, for Core Logic- RP Data. It was one of the most relevant courses I have facilitated highly recommend it to anyone that has to present either sales pitches, negotiation workshops or training sessions. However, that's not the reason I wanted to share this with you let me explain the environment, 7 people in the classroom and 7 people via video-link each from different locations. Once we got the technology gods to agree with each other, Rob was able to not only keep the local and the remotes engaged for 6 hours, we were able to record individual exercises, provide instant feedback and coaching, while receiving important feedback from all the participants in their various locations”

I own the biggest Doctor only practice in Australia and am proud and free to say that the biggest difference to it over the last 3 years are the insights that Rob has given me into business and leadership.
An education in the language and implementation of influence that has taken my business to a different level.
