What a breath of fresh air. Robert's 1-day class was a great way for our team to come together. His ability to keep everyone engaged and deliver a lot of content was second to none. I highly recommend Robert as not only a fantastic trainer, but a catalyst for change!
Source: LinkedIn Dave Williams May 21, 2013Robert is creative, enthusiastic and innovative. He's always got a thought about a new way to approach a challenge. He also has the energy and commitment to follow through and make things happen. I am impressed with the energy and enthusiasm he brings to his role as President of the Consulting Alliance.
Source: LinkedIn private private May 21, 2013I enjoyed working with Robert at our company sales gathering last November. The material was informative and fresh. I learned several things through the time we worked with Robert. I would Highly recommend anyone wanting to expand their skills in presentation and personal interaction to consider Roberts services.

Source: LinkedIn Paul Thayer May 21, 2013Robert provided excellent knowledge to the sales team regarding not only presentation skills, but also invaluable social marketing skills that I've used extensively since the presentation. Robert's curriculum was designed in such a way that it pulls any speaking vulnerabilities from the individual thus enabling them to learn from their mistakes & add their own personal touch to each presentation.
I would highly recommend it to any business professional looking to enhance and strengthen their presentation skills in addition to their personal social media marketing exposure on sites like LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter.
Jim Foley/Salient Systems.
Source: LinkedIn Jim Foley May 21, 2013The energy and leadership that Robert has brought to The Consulting Alliance in the first three months of his Presidency is OUTSTANDING! Robert has been the right person at the right time to capitalize on the legacy of his predecessor (Nancy Schultz). Robert is professional, thoughtful, deliberate, and engaging. His direct efforts have increased the average participation at Consulting Alliance functions, as well as the participation of members (new and seasoned alike).
Robert is inspiring and energizing, in short, he makes positive things happen, no matter where he is engaged!
Thank you for your Leadership Robert!

Robert was a patient leader who always kept calm whatever situation, had great managing skills, always friendly and professional, and who always made our guests feel very welcome.
Source: LinkedIn Kjersti Ulstein May 21, 2013It comes down to the SKA’s and the PIP’s. My HR professor at UMass, Dr. Fernsten, instilled this in us from day one. You should hire people based on PIP’s, not SKA’s, if you feel they can do the job with proper training.
What are PIP’s? They are Personality, Interests and Preferences. These are the natural fiber of someone, and are often less malleable than SKA’s – Skills, Knowledge and Abilities. Hiring people to fit your organization, who love your organization, and have the personality and interest to join that organization is so important; if they have the right character, you can often train them to do ANYTHING.
I recall a position I took back in 2005 working for a consulting company. The initial call was for someone to fix and maintain their computers and to update their website. At the time, I had little or no experience with websites, but I had good business sense, was getting my MBA, and wanted to work for this company. They brought me in for my PIP’s, not by SKA’s. I still work for them, and one of the comments from them was that I really didn’t know a lot about websites when I started with them, but I demonstrated interest, and they found me to be trustworthy and had the right personality for the work.
