Jumpstart Your Meeting!

Whether it is increasing sales, improving customer service, or meeting your own personal dreams, Wisdom in the Weirdest Places is the entertaining, humorous speech to get you motivated toward achieving your goals.

Rob Wilson has explored much of the world’s tried and true wisdom that has been passed down over the ages. And, in his studies, he has discovered that the path to success, to achieving our goals and dreams, is often right under our nose. The problem is that we can’t see it because our vision is clouded by doubt and fear. Rob shows how to overcome these barriers to success.

You'll discover how Wisdom, Ideas and Courage are often found in unexpected places. Such as how an "F" on an English paper convinced Robert that he could become a successful writer. And, how a college prank and four words in Braille led to the publication of his first book. As a bonus Rob will share the four secrets to a long life, and how the burning desire to achieve a single goal kept one woman alive for 122 years.

You’ll see your people focus on both their personal and business goals as Rob shares his easy-to-implement plan for achieving them. Plus, Rob will tie his message to your meeting theme or organizational objectives. This presentation is perfect as a meeting kick off or for closing on high note.

Achieving your goals has never been easier. Book Robert Wilson today for your next conference.

Motivational Quote of the Month:

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Winston Churchill

"Thank you so much for serving as our guest speaker at the Hospitality Retreat at the Biltmore Estate. Your presentation, Wisdom in the Weirdest Places, was well delivered and thoroughly enjoyed by our attendees. It is not often that a speaker can appeal to both a male and female audience, ranging in age from 25 to 65. However your program hit the mark with everyone, as we could all relate to many of the questions we are forced to ask ourselves. In this busy world, we rarely take time for self-reflection and your ideas inspired us to make the time to challenge ourselves to not only reach for, but to obtain our goals. Thank you again and we hope to have you join us for a future program."
Julie Ann Haley, CMP, Director of Meetings & Expositions, D&D Communications Group/Hospitality Construction Magazine
