You’ve been told to book a speaker or workshop …

Did your last presenter make you wish you were at the dentist instead?

Too many presenters are poorly prepared, unorganized or lack first-hand experience about the topic–seriously affecting the speaker’s credibility (not to mention boring!)

It doesn’t have to be that way!

Rob has 30+ years experience teaching, training, and coaching life transitions!

Your audience deserves a speaker who is ...

Known for humour, insight, and real audience interaction

Trying to find a speaker your members will actually get excited about?

Someone who isn’t just pleasant background noise—but a real highlight of the season? Someone who can entertain and teach, spark conversation, and help members see retirement (and themselves) in a new way? Because when talks feel generic, people stop showing up. But when the right speaker walks in, attendance climbs, engagement follows, and your members leave with new ideas, new insights, and a reason to come to the next event.

Bring in the speaker members will talk about after!

You’re trying to deliver events that feel fresh, meaningful, and worth showing up for—not just another polite hour that’s forgotten by lunch. You want a speaker who gets retirement is more than activities and travel… and who can help people learn something real about themselves in this season of change.

That’s what my talks are built for. I deliver high-interest, non-financial retirement sessions that mix humour, insight, and audience interaction—so people don’t just listen, they participate. Your members leave with new ideas, new language for what they’re feeling, and simple next steps they can actually use.

If you want a session that informs, engages, and gets people back for the next one—let’s do it.

Benefits your members feel right away ...

Fresh, high-interest topics
