Better than Coffee!

That’s what one enthusiastic Tweeter said about Rob, and it captures the sentiments of countless audience members who appreciate the energy and humor he brings to every engagement.

It’s the perfect balance of substance and style, resulting in programs that are:

Practical

Busy people don’t have time for abstract theory and complex methodologies. Rob understands that — he’s busy, too. His programs are grounded in reality, with simple tools and easy-to-follow processes that make an immediate impact.

Engaging

Motivation is a means, not an end in itself. But that doesn’t mean learning can’t be fun. Rob’s Second City background means presentations and workshops filled with energy, interaction, story and humor.

Authoritative

Rob doesn’t just talk about communication — he’s lived it. As a former top-10 PR firm VP, press secretary to a statewide official, nonprofit and association executive and award-winning consultant, his teachings are road-tested and relevant.

Through it all, you can count on Rob to take your communication challenges seriously while never taking himself too seriously.
