His presentations are exceptionally well received both when given to an audience of Industry leaders eager to drive an employee engagement culture in their business’s and also to staff within an organization in which the employee engagement culture is being developed. Lively discussion inevitably follows his presentations and carries on amongst an audience when they return to their organizations.”

Marketing Director

“I am now a BOB EVANGELIST! He is so ON TARGET! I have spent the last three days since returning from the summit – sharing Bob’s wisdom with anyone who will listen. He just told it like it is — like it REALLY is in firms today — he provided relevant, proven ideas to help re-shape the conversation about employee engagement in our firm. So glad I had the chance to hear him speak at the keynote and at the pre-con workshop. He made a transformative impact on me, and I hope – as I spread the word – that impact will grow across our organization as well!”

Principal/Director of Marketing & Communications

“I wasn’t expecting a transformational keynote. But once again Bob has given the field of Employee Engagement new life. Rather than narrowing the frame to a small set of work-related questions that can be measured, he broadens your view to think about your whole life, in and out of work. Combined with real stories from Bob’s life and his clients’ as well, the result is a head-snapping keynote that helps you to face how “deeply personal” and fluctuating “engagement” is for you and for your employees. The new model helps you honestly assess where you are now, and Bob offers practical steps to move the needle on your own and your employees’ engagement. Very powerful and productive, this keynote is a game changer.”
