Rob spoke at our Toronto Organizational Development event about Trends in Employee Voice Strategies virtually and created an experience that was both engaging and interactive – even in an online environment.
We would definitely recommend Rob as a speaker or have him back.

I heard Rob speak at a conference, and had to invite him to speak at our company HR Conference to our ~300 HR leaders. His session about feedback was interactive, entertaining, and had prescriptive takeaways for the audience. It was a valuable experience and I'd definitely invite Rob to speak again.
