WHAT OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER CAN SHARE

WHAT OUR KEYNOTE
SPEAKER CAN SHARE

A Growth Mindset

A growth mindset is the belief that our abilities are not fixed, but rather, can be grown. It's also the belief that if we embrace difficult challenges, they will make us grow. As a keynote speaker sharing firsthand experiences of adopting a growth mindset on extreme expeditions, Rob brings the concept to life, energising the audience to grow themselves.

A Resilient Mindset

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from tough experiences, instead of burning out or giving up. Using vulnerable stories of devastating setbacks, Rob unpacks strategies for growing our resilience and thriving under pressure.

An agile mindset

While resilience is about ‘bouncing back’, agility is about ‘bouncing forwards’. It is about adapting and pivoting quickly to changing circumstances so as to stay ahead and make the most of new opportunities. In his rapidly changing expedition environments, Rob has learnt the importance of an agile mindset, and in his keynote speaker talks he equips his corporate audiences to do the same.

A collaborative mindset

Although Rob often travels alone on his adventures, he can never make it on his own. He needs to reach out to people he meets – whether in the jungle, desert or warzone. Rob uses powerful, first-hand stories to bring to life the importance of reaching out, collaboration, networking, and teamwork in the corporate world.
