"It's difficult to put in words what Rob is capable of doing with a room full of professionals. I recently attended his Executive Presence seminar and it was one of the best professional experiences of my life. I walked out of the two day session with a fresh perspective on not only my skills as a professional but a greater sense of my self and my capabilities. I left the session grounded and ready to take on any new challenges. I highly recommend engaging with Rob as a coach and at a minimum attending one of his seminars. "

"I recently attended Rob's Executive Presence workshop. It was such an amazing experience - I got so much more out of it than I had even expected. It was certainly time well spent! The workshop was so much more than gaining tools and techniques for my professional development but also initiated a much needed moment of self-reflection. For the first time in many years, I started to really reflect on what was important to me and what I needed to work on to become the person I want to be. I am still absorbing the lessons I learned and it has helped me begin the process of being more present and open - at work and in life."
