Rob Lilwall

Rob gave our organisation a heartfelt talk on Resilience a couple of weeks ago and it resonated with so many we still refer to it today! He was engaging and inspiring and has insights to share from his adventures that we can all learn from and apply in our own lives. Rob shares stories and lessons learnt of his incredible experiences with a humble and genuine spirit that sparks powerful reflection and action. He is a speaker I highly recommend.

Thank you for a fantastic session with our leader community. They almost unanimously said your presentation was the highlight of the three days - they absolutely raved about it and wished we had longer with you! Your engaging, high energy presentation translates perfectly to a virtual setting and the interactive format was a huge hit.
The session set the direction not only for the three-day forum but for the future plans for our business, and the content you shared for follow up will continue to drive engagement for weeks to come.
Congratulations on the winning formula and I look forward to working with you again.

We invited Rob for our CFO summit in Jan'22 to talk to us about "Resilient mindset and Reframing challenges". Rob delivered an absolutely engaging session virtually, that had the 50+ C-level executives hooked. He delivered the message through his amazing personal story of crossing the desert of death and taught some very helpful techniques on reframing your mindset. Rob is inspiring and humorous as a person, and that comes through in his delivery. The session was much appreciated!

I invited Rob to speak with my global team at a time when we were all a bit down with heaven workloads, C-19 and just missing our families. Rob showed us how he dealt with uncertainty and gave us tips and techniques for us to cope. The sessions were all VC and highly interactive and engaging. Can’t wait to get him back and learn more coping techniques. Great feedback from my global team.

Rob came to speak with our people at a serendipitous time; a challenging period for sport and entertainment off the back of C19. Rob used a smart and engaging way to tell his story, but at the same time made it very relevant to the challenges our team members had faced over the period of time. All of this with fantastic energy and an inspirational attitude towards opportunity through adversity. I would highly recommend Rob to any business looking to do something similar.

We had the pleasure of working with Rob Lilwall this year in June. Due to COVID19, our MBA class was going through a challenging time adapting to the new ways of learning. Rob's virtual masterclass as a motivational speaker came at the right moment to uplift the MBAs by sharing his powerful stories to give hands-on learning experience. By applying the key learnings from Rob's sessions, MBAs became more resilient and better prepared to face more significant challenges.
I highly recommend Rob as a keynote motivational speaker. Thank you Rob.

Rob did an excellent job for our sales kickoff. His story was a good fit for the message we wanted to reinforce. During our discover process, Rob took the time to understand key items going on in our business and what changes to his speech he needed to make.
I would encourage any leaders working to reinforce courage and perseverance to spend a few minutes with Rob on how his story can apply to motivate your teams.

Rob, you don’t realize how much you impacted our team in terms of mindset. I stopped counting how many times your name popped out, or how many times the analogy of desert and dunes was used. Thank you so much for your outstanding speech.

Rob's session was the best way to start the second day of the conference. The session was fun and engaging, it was radiating positivity. The participants continue sharing good feedback about the session and still are requesting information about Rob's book. Rob, wasn't just a great speaker, he was a real gentleman to deal with offstage as well. I truly look forward to other opportunities to work with him again.

Rob recently joined us for a motivational session with our Agents. I found the session to be very useful because it was different from the usual motivational speakers and involved the Agents very effectively. Rarely have I seen all the Agents so engaged with the speaker, as they were with Rob, myself included!

Rob's talk exceeded all our expectations. Rob was able to articulate the connection between overcoming his personal life challenges on his 3 year 50,000 km cycling journey from Siberia to UK and connect these lessons with the challenges we face in the corporate world. Rob pushed us to explore outside our comfort zone, by showing us the different between Growth Vs Fixed mindset and how to leverage stress rather than be constrained by it.

I found Rob easy to work with during the preparation process, open to my thoughts on what would work for our conference while confident based on his speaking experience about how to approach his presentation. Rob helped make this important event very successful for Radius Travel. His captivating personality and story ended with a standing ovation from the room. We couldn't have asked for better!

Rob gave an outstanding motivational talk to our team in London. The team were from 7 countries across Asia and he managed to connect with them all. His style is humble yet the passion shines through and he engaged you with his compelling story and the decisions he had to make. He drew a parallel between this and business life which I think hit home hard with our team. Great talk.

As such you are learning without it ever seeming like you are bring taught...a rare skill.

We were lucky enough to have Rob Lilwall speak at our Annual Conference for our hotel Sales and Marketing teams, in June of 2015; not only was his speech engaging, funny, and inspirational but Rob also demonstrated to the audience how it was relevant to the key themes of our conference, specifically tailoring his presentation after a detailed briefing session with the leadership team. I cannot thank Rob enough and I look forward to any opportunity in the future to hear him present once more.

I was fortunate to have the privilege of enjoying Rob regale my audience with his unique story, pragmatic wisdom, and his sincere empathy for our focus on the "Future of Work" recently in Hong Kong. His style, his content, and his character captivated the room, and the level of engagement was palpable... he made every person feel as if they were having a personal conversation with him, and the result was 100% delivery on the intent of his message... it resonated and left the audience truly moved. I encourage anyone looking to produce these types of experiences and results to connect with Rob and share your needs; I guarantee he will deliver beyond expectation.

Rob just came and spoke to our senior Asia Pacific leadership team at the MEC regional meeting. We have a talent manifesto of "Don't just live thrive", and we wanted people to be inspired by someone who has truly thrived in their life. Rob took us on his three year cycling journey in a very inspiring, amusing at times, thought provoking way. He opened up the minds of those in the room to focus on a goal, and be resilient, and often creative in achieving it. He spoke for an hour and it seemed to pass in a minute. Highly recommended.
MEC

It is my pleasure to recommend Rob to anyone looking for a professional and engaging speaker. Rob was one of our keynote presenters at an event we held in Bangkok in March 2015, for 2000 of our top performers. His presentation style made the audience comfortable and his story of adventures around the world captured people's attention. While his topic is not directly related to our line of business, Rob easily found ways to link his stories to the daily challenges associated to our line of work, and was able to complement with real life experiences that made him ever more credible as a speaker. I highly recommend Rob and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future

I attended an event hosted by my firm recently and found his presentation generated feelings of inspiration, admiration and in some cases consternation as he navigated through dangerous terrain and situations. I think all of us in the room took something special away from his speech, including a great deal of humour, and I look forward to hearing about his new and similarly exciting new travels with his wife. Best wishes for the future Rob. Great stuff!
