The following comments are from clients and sponsors of Robert’s public talks.
“Thank you again for coming and speaking at the Love Your Business community dinner. Having seen you speak before, I already knew that you are a masterful speaker. Your speaking is both authentic and polished. You model your Speaking Truthfully principles totally — you are completely present, authentic, and in relationship with your audience. One of our members said, ‘It’s as though he is sitting having a fireside chat with 80 people.’ You are also technically masterful: you speak beautifully, are extremely entertaining, and use silence better than anyone I have ever seen. The other aspect that I loved was the content of your talk. You read the room and the context perfectly, and your speech built on and added to what I and others had already said. You were moving, inspiring, and as I said on the night, spoke our message even better than we had. In your book, you say you love public speaking — your love for your art comes through loud and clear.” ~ Peter Cook, CEO, Love Your Business
“Thank you so much for sharing your gifts of being and wisdom with the GATE Leadership Circle. I know people were deeply moved and nourished by your presence and words.” ~ John Raatz, founder and CEO, GATE (Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment)
“I am the founder and chief inspirator of a cool national business innovation conference and network: InnoFuture and InnoFuture Momentum. On a recommendation I invited Robert as a panelist and guest speaker to one of the Momentum events on the topic of how to make ideas stick and the art of persuasion. I saw him transform a shy scientist, who had naively put up her hand when Robert asked the audience a leading question, ‘Who hates public speaking?’ – so of course he pulled her out of the audience and transformed her into a crowd-pleasing speaker who ended up holding a comfortable, impromptu conversation with the 80-strong audience. Robert is smart, deep, and funny.” ~ Margaret Manson, chief inspirator, InnoFuture & InnoFuture Momentum
“Thank you so much for your powerful and life-changing talk on Authentic Self-Expression. The silence in the room was deafening! The audience was hanging on to every single word you said. Your wisdom has awakened a deep-rooted truth within every single person in the room. Thank you! You are amazing! The whole world needs to be touched by your magic!” ~ Liza Choa, founder, Think BIG Events

“Robert is authenticity personified. He is the greatest example I know of someone who truly walks his talk. Every workshop and talk I’ve attended where Robert has spoken has had the authenticity message woven into it so beautifully. I am constantly inspired by Robert — as were my clients at the event we held recently. The positive feedback is still pouring in. Everyone just loves him!” ~ Kate James, director, Total Balance
“As the director and program coordinator for the Wholistic Business Network it is my job to carefully select the speakers and presentation topics for our members. I came across Robert ‘s work for the first time in 2005, hearing him speak at a conference. It struck me how Robert managed to engage the audience in a manner that touched them in many ways. I know he left people with a profound sense of ‘reality’ and inspiration, which lasted for a long time after his presentation was finished. I consequently invited Robert twice to speak at the WBN business networking evenings where his presentations and work were well-received. Robert has got a way of cutting to the chase that is not only razor sharp and funny at the same time, but also filled with a great sense of empathy for the audience and the topic about which he’s speaking. He knows how to frame what is truly important and moves to higher grounds, elegantly distilling what is essential from the non essential. I certainly endorse Robert’s work.” ~ Sandhi Spiers, founding director, Wholistic Business Network
“Robert offers an extraordinary perspective on being human. During the recent Institute of Noetic Sciences’ annual conference, I served as moderator for a panel of distinguished authors discussing new notions of leadership. It is my view that the audience of over 200 people found Robert to be the most memorable and provocative of all the presenters.” ~ John E. Renesch, moderator, IONS Conference; business futurist, author
“As the keynote speaker of the Inner Directions Gathering 2000 — our annual three-day conference attended by over 500 people from around the world — Robert was able to clearly articulate the deeper meaning and purpose for which we all ‘gathered.’ I appreciate Robert’s unswerving adherence to truth and his unique ability to express the inexpressible.” ~ Matthew Greenblatt, executive director, Inner Directions Foundation
“I was impressed with Robert’s thoughtful and wise presentation. I appreciated his ability to view the world from an eagle’s perspective and to deliver it eloquently and with a courageous sense of self. Robert builds a sensitive rapport with his audience. He has ignited a fire in my belly.” ~ Lynda Leonard, conference coordinator, Third International Conference on Enlightenment
“Thank you so much for your recent presentation on the theme of Leadership Wisdom. I know the audience found your remarks to be profound, provocative, and entertaining. Your blend of wisdom and humor made for a memorable evening.” ~ Elizabeth Ann Bloom, co-producer, The Presidio Dialogues
“We were delighted with your presentation and thoroughly enjoyed the easy manner in which you shared your wisdom. Your presence is really remarkable, and whether with words or in silence you radiate the sacredness that each person intuitively knows resides within themselves.” ~ Daniel Page, owner, SteppingStones Center
