I’ve been fortunate to work with a wide range of people, including Olympic athletes, educational institutions, C-level execs, and individuals who work for some of the world’s most prestigious brands.
“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with Bob. His coaching transformed my approach to speaking, shifting it from feeling like a performance to purposeful communication. Bob taught me the importance of delivering clear, meaningful messages grounded in intentional listening. Thanks to his guidance and mentorship, I have seen a measurable impact not only in my speaking, but also in my presence with audiences of any size, whether speaking to one or a thousand. Bob has reinforced my belief that communication is truly an act of service and leadership.”
“Speaking 2.0, and specifically Bob, fundamentally changed how I present. Previously my corporate and board of directors presentations were flat and lacked authenticity. Bob’s guidance and teaching gave me the tools to UP MY GAME. I am now a much more confident speaker in both small and large audience settings. Bob’s teachings are the best in the business, and I have worked with him 1:1 and brought him in for others on my team. My presentations are now filled with authentic stories—and have meaning, relevance, and impact for myself and the audience.”
“Bob provided me excellent and essential coaching before delivering a speech for my organization’s annual fundraiser with many of our most significant donors. I am nervous about public speaking in general and was even more given I would be doing this over Zoom.
Bob offered positive, practical, relevant, and feasible practices I could adopt very quickly to take my public speaking game from a 4 to a 9/10 with three brief coaching sessions (two over email). In large part thanks to him, I received more compliments on my speech than ever before. Even more, I feel like a better speaker in general. Bob is a miracle worker.”
“Bob’s coaching prepared me for two keynote talks that presented new and interesting challenges for me as a speaker. I appreciated Bob’s approach because he focused on practical advice to help develop and reinforce good habits that I can carry forward to any kind of public speaking opportunity. I left these keynotes feeling like I had made a great connection with my audiences and really honed in on the messages that I wanted to relay.”
“Transformational! Our team of strategy professionals is responsible for sharing insights informing business decisions to senior executives on a weekly basis. Bob expertly coached each participant to leverage their individual strengths and raised our collective speaking skills to the next level. It was an amazing experience to witness the transition from the first morning talks, to the final storytelling exercise the afternoon of the second day. The workshop was well worth the time away from our pressing schedules, and far exceeded everyone’s expectations. It was a great mix of hands-on activities, practice sessions, and hard to watch - but necessary - video reviews! Thanks again, Bob!”
“Bob was instrumental in up-leveling the stories our portfolio companies presented at our Annual General Meeting and maybe more importantly, Bob helped instill a level of confidence that our founders have in telling their own stories. Our founder’s presentations at the meeting were met with high praise from attendees, and the founders themselves now truly understand the value of storytelling. Bob’s ability to gain the trust of those he works with is unique and we were fortunate to partner with him and sincerely appreciate his support.”
“Bob helped the entire team at Laserfiche prepare for our speaking parts at our Empower Conference. He is very passionate about public speaking. He inspired all of us to “up our game” and make our presentations to 4,000 attendees very impactful. We are grateful to him for his patience and guidance.”
“Bob jumped in to assist at very short notice and made a huge impact. The end result was great and the way to get there with him was so much easier and faster than we thought it would be. Bob gave us the structure of great storytelling so we moved from a “presentation” to a powerful story. He then managed in a very few focused meetings to make me feel comfortable telling the story to an audience as if I’m sharing it with my friends. For me this was an amazing and inspiring experience, I actually had fun!”
“I have worked with multiple speaking coaches over the last 5+ years, Bob has been the standout. The first thing that jumps out about Bob is how he creates a safe space in which the person being coached feels comfortable and at ease. Personally, I was willing to try different approaches around him, to see what worked before presenting them to a wider audience. He has a very good pulse on the underlying goal of any presentation and this allows him to offer insightful suggestions. He spends a lot of time understanding the setting, the audience, and accompanies me to the venue prior (where feasible) to deconstruct the presentation, which really helps prepare me to do my best. I continue working with him and look forward to evolving my public speaking skills.”
“We loved the session although it was such hard work. Bob’s coaching was so relevant, resonant, and impactful. Amazing how quickly we built trust in him and our teammates to work through the hard stuff to emerge stronger. He is a gifted coach, and we are grateful to have benefited from his skills.”
“I first met Bob at a group training for a previous company. It was right before I spoke to a crowd of 4,000. The tools he shared have completely changed the way I speak. Years later, I now speak a few dozen times a year through a charity helping educate students about the dangers of technology addiction. His training turned me into a sought-after public speaker. After many events I complete, I get the specific question, “You must have had professional training, right?!?!”
I recently brought Bob into my current company to train the entire executive leadership team and the feedback was fantastic across the board. I fully recommend him and his training to anyone looking to improve their team’s ability to communicate to a group.”
