The Grounded Leader, Six Roots of Effective Leadership

Bob illustrates how our response to disruption can translate into our competitive advantage.
Leading Conscious Change, Accelerators and Hijackers
Most change efforts fail — and often these failures are driven by unconscious personal and organizational hijackers. In this interactive speech, Bob unveils the Why, What, and How of Leading Conscious Change. By leveraging accelerators and avoiding hijackers, participants are able to transform themselves and their organizations.
Grounded® & Conscious, Thriving in a Disruptive World
At a time when the world is disruptive, polarizing and accelerating, we need grounded and conscious leaders from all walks of life who can navigate into the future. Grounded is the foundation and conscious is the accelerator. Conscious, aware, awake people bring their best selves to the table, and challenge others to redefine what it means to be successful.
Conscious, The Power of Awareness in Business and Life
The cost of unaware people is too high to pay. Especially when the antidote, becoming more conscious, costs little but returns exponentially. Bob unveils four powerful lessons for how to put your conscious mind to work: Go Deep, Think Big, Get Real, and Step Up.
