Our whole team deeply enjoyed Rob’s presentation. We appreciated him mingling with us beforehand, and he appeared to be interested in getting to know the team. His speaking style is so engaging and magnetic. He possesses so much natural charisma and that coupled with the subject matter he presents is really powerful. He does a masterful job of mixing heavy and serious topics with light-hearted jokes and funny anecdotes and stories in-between. He is so far from the average person, and yet he has an uncanny way of connecting to the “average joe”.
