Keynote presentations and workshops

Bob provides motivating, fast paced humor-filled presentations tailored to your organization's needs. Whether as a keynote speaker or workshop facilitator, he captures each audience in interactive, participant-driven presentations. He encourages participants to think outside the box by asking thought-provoking questions that bring even the shyest people out of their shell. Bob is not a presenter that allows his audience to sit back and coast but rather he gets everyone involved!

As Heather Jackson, President of the College and University Hazardous Materials Management Conference said, "Bob's keynote on conflict resolution was an excellent addition to the technical program of our conference. He is a charismatic speaker with a lot of energy."
