Topics for Rob Redenbach

  • Footprints & legacies
    With a message that applies in business and everyday life, Rob Redenbach’s Footprints & Legacies keynote is a rollercoaster of adventure, learning and laughs. Combining compelling academic research with a tapestry of true stories, Redenbach delivers unforgettable insights into initiating change, improving leadership and enhancing teamwork. Footprints & Legacies incorporates some of Rob’s personal conversations with Nelson Mandela, but there’s more to the presentation than that. Among other things, this dynamic keynote incorporates Rob’s academic research at Harvard and addresses the not-for-profit work he’s been doing with his new book The Promise.
  • Leadership without rank
    The days of barking orders or pulling rank are over. Modern leaders need a different approach, one that helps them progress in their own career as they simultaneously empower the team members they work alongside. This is more than a feel good ideal – it makes pragmatic sense. And with a pragmatic mix of practical experience and proven techniques, Rob’s leadership without rank explains how to become more respected and more influential – whether you have rank or not. A key feature of leadership without rank is the interactive facilitation of the program. Rather than being a ‘talking head’ that lectures audience members, Rob encourages an open dialogue that incorporates the collective experiences of the team. This style of facilitation not only creates an inclusive learning environment, it simultaneously demonstrates the universal value of collaboration and teamwork. Rob’s presentations can be delivered as stand-alone keynotes or combined as one interactive workshop. His content focuses on:
    • Adaptability & resilience.
    • Teamwork & collaboration.
    • Trust & cooperation.
    • Communication & influence.

Many parallels to the corporate world. The reference to taking action, planning and the discussion of 'being in the bubble' were particularly pertinent as we move at a very fast pace. As with everything, these presentations require open-minded recipients. Ours is a tough crowd but I had fantastic feedback. My only disappointment was that we didn’t get to hear more from Redenbach. I was hooked and could have listened for hours
