CA, USRob first began speaking to large audiences in the late '90s finding ways to build interesting programs on otherwise dry, technical topics – often by connecting real-world relevance and leveraging his trademark self-deprecating humor. Over time, he would trend his speaking more towards practical subjects oriented around his love for people, leadership, and the most important thing that binds them - effective communication.
Rob held his first leadership position at the young age of 16, and "leading" people more than twice his age qucikly taught him tough lessons. In the years that followed, his experience as a leader in multiple industries tough him that motivation and team engagement are typically byproducts of truly connecting with people and communicating effectively.
Over the last 10 years of his corporate leadership career, he averaged a 4% turnover rate - a quarter of the industry average - and has since distilled the methodology that achieved those results into a repeatable set of processes and approaches to how leaders and organizations relate to their teams.

Extremely Centered: Managing Bias In Critical Decision Making
Bias. It is inherent in all human decision making, and yet it can often run counter to our ultimate goals or desires. Indeed, it can be the death of individual projects or even entire organizations. Some bias is present in each of us all the time - a product of our human nature and the experiences we've had in our lives. Other bias comes from those around us, the advice they provide, and the information they make available.
There is, however, good news. It turns out...
