I Help Entrepreneurs Turn Their Story Into A Profitable Business and Brand. I have been published by New Holland Publishers

I’m passionate about developing people and business. Now more than ever entrepreneurs need to be visible, attractive and understood by their customers and potential customers. In short they must be positioned to stand out in their niche. Nothing is more powerful than a well-crafted congruent story or brand validated by well-respected third party publications or identities.

I’ve developed a 3 step process to enable this;

> Step 1. Analyse and identify the integral compelling components of your story (we can also create this from scratch)

> Step 2. Create the plan to Integrate or hard wire these compelling components of your story into the DNA of your business or brand (including presentation / public speaking training).

> Step 3. Positioning and validation to stand out in your niche as an expert through a strategy tailored to you; which may include a digital campaign, a book, appearances and features in respected podcasts or publications such as Entrepreneur and Forbes.

Growing up for eighteen years in two children’s homes in London instilled in me the compassion, resilience, capability and the “why” to inspire others.

Excelling at the national level of sport gave me the understanding of discipline and “doing what it takes”. Being an event producer and community creator, co-creating and personally hosting over 2,000 events attracting over 1 million people for not only my own businesses but some of the world’s signature brands, I learnt the importance of leveraging connections and a cohesive team.

I am an international speaker, coach, author and I help other entrepreneurs, coaches and consultants to stand out in their niche by becoming an Authority figure using pr and media exposure. I also help you to build aligned loyal communities and harness strategic partnerships utilizing a growing network of global change-makers curated over the past 30 years.

The team which I have assembled comprises some of the best in their field of strategy, personal branding, PR, marketing/digital marketing and communications with the know-how, experience and contacts to position you as a respected authority figure within your industry or niche.

KEYNOTE #1

THE “UNCONSCIOUS ROBOT” (Keynote/Facilitator)

Back when l was twelve and sitting in a history class at school in London England a fellow pupil asked a question of the teacher which was to change the course of my life! Not only that but to start a journey of discovery to understand why we are programmed to think, act, behave and believe what we do unconsciously.

Usually it takes a life threatening, situation or event such as being diagnosed with cancer or post a serious accident – which causes us to question our lives, our decisions, our thought processes. Only then do we begin to garner the clarity of this information. But it doesn’t need to wait for that or be that way.

What was that question? “A war for one hundred years, it can’t be the same people fighting…can it?” We were studying a war called the “hundred years war” (of which there were many around the world throughout history) and the question was posed by a fellow pupil. At the time it sailed over my head. But in my quiet times the question kept coming back.

Only 4 years later in a shocking racist attack committed on me personally, not only shocked and appauled but caused me to question this again – this time with far more intensity!

This thirty-plus year search goes to the heart of who we are and why we think, act and behave the way we do! Put simply this knowledge instantly frees us from cause and affect, discrimination, judgement of others and gives back our Freedom and peace of mind. This in turn allows us to authentically master compassion and transform our personal/business relationships no matter how deeply engrained they appear to be.

In this presentation, participants are empowered with takeaway tools to awaken a level of self-awareness and mastery in order to recognise, then reframe subconscious belief systems and behaviors that inhibit our ability not only to truly connect with other people but to step into our greatest potential both personally and professionally.

Whether you are an organisation employing a selection of staff from a plethora of backgrounds, or an individual looking for more personal fulfilment, or a professional looking for career advancement, or a leader looking to inspire their team, many of the keys to success start with understanding how we are programmed subconsciously and how that affects our every waking moment.

KEY OUTCOMES

Understand why we are mainly unconscious most of our waking lives
Discover the process of how and why we became programmed that way in the first place
Uncover the motives behind the preconceptions and generalisations we have about other people and how to overcome them
How to melt, opposition and friction between friends, colleagues or family members and come into harmony with them instantly
Identify the keys to unlocking your potential and freedom from your subconscious programming
Adopt practical solutions to allow greater connection, friendship and compassion between your friends colleagues or team members

TESTIMONIAL

“Robert, you are a mesmerising and inspirational speaker. Enjoyed by all. Thank you.”

Tricia Kim, Canggu Rotary Club. Rotary International

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see the reflection of your greatest potential?

Through key learning methodologies, participants will walk away from this presentation, empowered with the skills to take personal responsibility for the outcome of our decisions, rather than external conditions. This enables participants to feel more engaged in their lives, aligned with purpose, and
empowered in creating a fulfilling and happy life.

KEYNOTE #3

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE WORKPLACE (Keynote/Facilitator/Coach)

What do you see when you look at your work colleague? What if you have a fundamental mistrust or negative view of them? Or a lingering doubt without even knowing them which affects your performance at work or that of your team.

In this presentation, participants are empowered with the tools to awaken a level of self-awareness, in order to reframe limiting belief systems and behaviors that inhibit the ability to step into our greatest potential both personally and professionally. Moreover you will gain a clear insight into why you think in the way you do, why you have generalisations about other people in the way that you do and why bringing this to your working environment has a negative effect.

Through key learning methodologies, participants will not only walk away from this presentation, empowered with the skills to take personal responsibility for the outcome of our decisions, rather than external conditions, but also with greater compassion for themselves and the people that they work with. This enables transformation in the working environment – which will lead to transformation in the culture of the team and the atmosphere at work. This in turn will produce greater rewards for the organisation as participants will feel more engaged in their lives at work. They will feel greater alignment with their purpose and most importantly each other – creating a more fulfilling and happier life at work.

Whether you are an organisation employing a selection of staff from a plethora of backgrounds, or an individual looking for more personal fulfilment, or a professional looking for career advancement, or a leader looking to inspire their team, all the keys to success start with understanding diversity and inclusion, knowing why we think they way we do, create greater compassion and more uplifting productive environment at work.

KEY OUTCOMES

Understand what is diversity and inclusion and why it is so important
Discover why we are the way we are and why we think in the way we do

KEYNOTE #4

SPEAK YOUR PURPOSE (Keynote)

Public Speaking still remains one of the most disempowering experiences which can strike fear in to the heart of the bravest of us. What would it be like, what would it feel like to speak with confidence from a place of authenticity and connectedness in front of an audience of whichever size.

From the outset Robert Ian Bonnick or RiB has been exploring and studying what, connects, inspires and motivates us as human beings. His experience of growing up over eighteen years in 2 Children’s Homes in London and 20 years studying with some of the key educators and thought leaders on the planet, provided him with his opportunity and purpose of finding ways to bring the best out of us over and above our fears.

Over the past 20 years he’s enjoyed some great successes working with individuals and organisations alike in a variety of roles which engaged his ability to naturally disarm people’s internal (mostly unspoken) objections and invoke passion to inspire rapport, create safe spaces for people to speak their truth and have fun in the process, whether running nightclubs, bars, cafes, community initiatives/programs. As an Inspirational Speaker, or more recently coaching corporate teams, this has led him to create his own workshops such as “Speak Your Purpose”.

KEY OUTCOMES

Discover why we are the way we are and why we think in the way we do
Gain valuable insights to uncover your dreams/purpose and take action on activating them
Understand the keys to becoming an effective speaker – one who speaks with passion and purpose
The basics of designing your own keynote/presentations
Learn the keys to become your greatest self on stage/in front of audiences
Gain insights into the road blocks to personal performance and how to overcome them
Develop a focus to enhancing personal performance
Gain insights into overcoming your fears
Gain lifetime skills which will allow you to have success in almost any area of your life

TESTIMONIAL

“How much can you really get out of a one-time session with Rob? More than you could ever imagine! When I made the appointment for my session I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to address since it was a one-time thing.

He quickly helped me decide what areas would best serve me with our time together. The time spent with Rob was fun, relaxed, extremely informative, and very productive. I know now the power of meditation!

I highly recommend giving Rob a go!! It will transform your life ”
