Testimonial

A few years ago I listened to Bob speaking on how to write a speech. A month later I came second in a speaking competition. As I’m writing a new keynote Bob was the only one which I trusted to help me make sense of all the thoughts in my head. I had so many ideas, stories and angles that I didn’t know were to start. Bob has this amazing (engineering) brain that just helps you to structure your thought and give you clarity. The processes he uses are very simple to implement but are also very effective. His passion and talent make him the best speaker coach in the market. You will be amazed at how he can change your speech to an outstanding keynote.
