Note from Bob:

Over the past 20 plus years, I've had the privilege of travelling the globe sharing my ideas and encouraging my audiences and clients to profitably grow and to succeed in their lives and careers. (2019: 60 countries, so far.) I believe life is an adventure to be embraced and lived to fullest. Career success and business involvement is a part of that adventure. I have been blessed with some amazing audience interaction and their kind words have both encouraged and humbled me at times.

I've included a few comments and clients on this page as a representative sampling of the types of groups I have addressed. I love what I do and the people with whom I get to share this adventure in life.

I would love to chat with you about your needs and where I might be of value to your leaders and your teams. Whether you'd like to have me work remotely (virtually) or live, give me a call 1-780-736-0009 or drop me an email.

"On very short notice Bob cleared his schedule and graciously presented at our meeting when the original Speaker was unable to attend. Last week Bob set the tone for our two-day leadership meeting and gave us all a motivational lift. His compassion and true interest in people was clearly evident, making him very credible. He shared some great stories, has a wealth of experience and knowledge and it was a pleasure listening to him. His down-to-Earth style makes it easier to retain the information presented. He also followed up with additional info and handouts, cementing his message of building bridges, not walls. Fantastic job, Bob, and thanks again!" Barbara Afra Beler, MBA, Senior Specialist Commercial Community, Alberta North, BMO Bank of Montreal

What people say about... Bob ‘Idea Man’ Hooey

"Dear Bob Hooey, Thank you for your participation in the first annual SOHO-SME Business Conference and EXPO in Calgary. Your presentation was very informative and interesting. We look forward to working with you at future events."
Best Regards, SOHO TEAM

“I watched Bob Hooey deliver a speech in Cape Town, SA when he was feeling far less than 100%. The audience never knew. That’s what a pro does. Shows up and delivers!”
Shep Hyken, CSP, CPAE, Past President NSA, professional speaker and customer service expert

Bob ‘Idea Man’ Hooey is a master of public speaking, not only in Canada, but internationally. Not only has he motivated, inspired, and energized tens of thousands of people in his audiences worldwide, he also takes the time to work with aspiring and developing speakers to help them hone their skills and perfect their craft so they can be their very best on the platform and in the business. If you are interested in public speaking, or you are developing a career as a professional speaker, trainer or keynoter, Bob’s wisdom will help you get there.
Sarah Elaine Eaton, Ph.D.

We were thrilled when we secured Bob Hooey to speak at our annual convention in April this year (2015). Having heard so much about him over the years, I found him true to his reputation - an absolute professional, keeping the client in contact and informed, sending through requirements early and confirming all that we needed from him. And then on the day, delivering a wonderful, fun and engaging presentation that both communicated Bob’s message and fit in with our theme brilliantly.  And not only did Bob do all he promised to do, he also helped us to promote our event with his connecting with relevant people and social media posts and engagement. Should I have the opportunity in the future, I would love to work with Bob again.” 
Charlotte Kemp, Convention Chair PSA SA 2015 Convention in Cape Town, SA

"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 (since 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

"You are a dynamic speaker and you provided us with many ideas for making our business's more successful with your presentation of "Unlock Your Business Potential." The comments we received from the meeting were very positive. Many especially found it useful to record some key points on the postcard and will look forward to receiving it prior to your next session."
Barb Nicholl, Woman's AM

“I’ve known Bob for several years and follow his activities in business with interest. I originally met Bob when he spoke for a Rotary Leadership Institute and got to know him better when he came to Vladivostok, Russia to speak to our leadership. When you spoke I thought you were one of us because you talked about our challenges just like yours. You could understand the others, which makes you a great speaker!” Andrey Konyushok, Rotary International District 2225 Governor 2012-2013, far eastern Russia

"...thank you for your significant contribution to our Annual Life Long Learning for a Changing World conference. It was one of our most successful both in terms of response and to the session offerings. Comments from Conference participants indicated they were very pleased."
Madeleine Butschler, Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC

“Bob ‘Idea Man’ Hooey is one of the best public speakers I know, and I have seen and heard many over the years. His style will educate, entertain, and inspire any audience. I very strongly recommend the ‘Idea Man’ for any organization that needs to hear a positive message, and wants that extra bit of help moving the ship in the right direction!” 
Paul Holmes, President, Transitional Media Inc.

"Now that the Active Minds session for Chapters has drawn to a close, I want to thank you for all you have done to help make the program such a success. Feedback from the store Managers, and directly from customers, was entirely enthusiastic. Their remarks and words of appreciation have made it obvious that everyone who participated in your courses benefited enormously from your intelligence and insights. Your energy, creativity, and ability to communicate effectively - especially with such a diverse audience and under conditions that are so noticeably less than ideal -make your efforts all the more impressive and praiseworthy. I know, as do all I work with at Chapters, just how indebted we are to you. My thanks are double-barreled... you have made it possible for me to provide a program that is of real value to the public - and you have made the task of organizing and implementing this program pure pleasure."
Suzy Okun, National Coordinator, Chapters Active Minds Series

It reinforces the ideas of goal setting and effective time management as it applies to one's business and personal life.

The culminating problem-solving activity was enjoyable and beneficial, and showed that through networking with business associates, problems can be readily resolved. Keep up the good work!"
