Welcome to my website. 

Here you will find out who I am, what I do and more importantly, how I can help you or your organisation realise your vision and goals. 

City thinker


I help people become more enterprising, rolling away the obstacles to their success. I work with business starters, social entrepreneurs, charities and public sector organisations. To work with me, you must be passionate about the things you want to change. You may also be frustrated by the things that others put in your way. That's where I come in!

I've been doing this work now for almost 20 years, have written nine books and have a TV series on Sky. I'm a popular conference speaker. I know what I'm talking about and most importantly, know that my sometimes unconventional approach works.

You might have noticed that too many of those who promote themselves to you are too driven by their own needs to help you meet yours. I am fortunate to have a wonderful family, a great home and money in the bank. I will only work with you if I think I can deliver.

My time doesn't come cheap, but no client has ever felt short-changed. If money is an issue for you, I may be able to help you get grant funding to get us started.

Now please spend a few minutes exploring my website. If you like what you see and think I can help, contact me. Share your challenge - if I can't help you, I probably know someone who can!



FOOTSEY 2009
 
Robert attended the Foostey social economy trade fair, organised by New Start Publishing Ltd, at Doncaster this year and ran his 45 minute Boot Camp programme with great success. The event asked all the proper questions, contained the right attitudes, and had that buzz of enthusiasm that makes these events all that more worthwhile.

"Thanks again for your input. Your workshop was great and several people came to speak with me later and said really positive things about it."

The Life Plan:

"It is a great one to flick through and take on chunks as you feel like it...a good antidote to the daunting "tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life" approach"
