Rob is the CEO and co-founder of Transformed Leader, a leadership research, coaching, and consulting company that helps mission-driven organizations and leaders overcome their greatest challenges. Rob uses experiential and transformative learning processes to guide leaders who have become frustrated, depleted, and fragmented, trying to build enterprises with tools and resources that are no longer sufficient.

This journey led him to complete a Masters Degree in Social & Civic Entrepreneurship, and a Doctorate of Transformational Leadership. He is the host of the Talk of Change Podcast, opening up conversation around his work and research on Emotional Intelligence and Transformative Change. He is also the author of two books, The Human Operating System: Recovering the heart and soul of your leadership and Fighting for Heart: Why leaders are tired and what to do about it.
