Drawing on years of experience in both business and sport, Rob explores what it truly takes to go beyond minor improvements and unlock transformational growth. His approach focuses on reaching for the so-called ‘high-hanging fruit’—opportunities that require more effort but deliver disproportionately greater results. As a speaker, he is known for his clarity, energy, and ability to leave audiences both inspired and better equipped to pursue excellence.

Rob’s journey into the world of performance development began in the corporate sector, where he worked in leadership roles focused on change management and strategy execution. Early in his career, he demonstrated a keen interest in the mechanics of improvement, often questioning why some teams consistently outperformed others despite having similar resources. This curiosity led him to explore the science of marginal gains and behavioural psychology. Over time, his expertise deepened, and he became a sought-after consultant for organisations looking to embed performance culture across all levels. His transition into speaking was a natural evolution, driven by a desire to share what he had learned with broader audiences.

In recent years, Rob has authored the acclaimed book “Beyond Marginal Gains: The Search for High Performance and ‘High Hanging Fruit’”, which has been praised for its thought-provoking insights and practical frameworks. The book has become a key reference for leaders, coaches, and performance professionals seeking to push past incremental change. His work has been adopted by elite sports teams, FTSE 100 companies, and public sector bodies alike, cementing his status as a leading voice in high performance thinking. He has delivered keynote speeches at international conferences, conducted masterclasses for executive teams, and contributed to several high-profile performance initiatives.

Organisations hire Rob because he offers more than just theory—he provides a fresh lens through which to view improvement and delivers strategies that can be applied immediately. His ability to connect with diverse audiences, coupled with his focus on tangible results, makes him a compelling choice for those looking to move beyond the basics and achieve sustained excellence.
