Bob pictured here, with the Persian Gulf in the background, during an 8 day 2008 speaking tour. Location: Greater Edmonton Region Reputation: International "We greatly appreciate the energy and effort you put into researching and adapting your keynote to make it more meaningful to our member councils. Early feedback from our delegates indicates that this year's convention was one of our most successful events yet, and we thank you for your contribution to this success." Larry Goodhope, Executive Director (retired) Alberta Association of Municipal Districts & Counties "Thank you Bob, it is always a pleasure to see a true professional at work. You have made the name "Speaker" stand out as a truism - someone who encourages people to examine their lives and make adjustments. The personal stories you shared with your audience made such a great impression on everyone. The comments indicated you hit people right where it is important - in their hearts. Each of those in your audience took away a new feeling of personal success and encouragement." Sherry Knight, Dimension Eleven Human Resources and Communications "If you want your employees, sales team, or leadership motivated and equipped to succeed, you need to engage Bob now, before your competition does!" |

other leaders. Lead your organization to a more productive and profitable
level. Engage these proven ideas and techniques to equip and motivate

That kind of positive personal leadership has a ripple effect
that changes the world. That’s how communities, companies,
and entire countries are transformed. Entire industries have been created
by one person who dared to take personal leadership. This is why the greatest
men and women throughout time are remembered in history books. The fact
is, you can, do, and will make a difference. All that remains to be answered
is, ‘What difference do you want to make?’ That’s
the Power of ONE! That’s the Power of You!
Leadership,
Sales, and Business Success are each built on mutually productive relationships.
The power of applied leadership, teamwork, and vision,
coupled with the inspiration of cheerleaders, coaches, and champions,
can create miracles. This inspiring keynote challenges your leadership

We need to stop, change pace, and refocus our energies
on a regular basis. We need to effectively handle the changes and challenges
that rise up, such a business reversal, a drought, unexpected storm, or

Bob sailed through a 'baby' typhoon off the coast of Japan and
battled unforgiving seas for his life to attain a safe harbor in Kobe.
This high impact session challenges you to change direction, as needed,
and apply personal leadership to overcome the storms and challenges
in your life, career, or organization.
