Rob Redenbach can help make your next event one people remember. He understands that a good keynote, like a good workshop, should entertain, challenge and educate. His presentations do all three. Blending humour, experience and hard facts, he helps people lead themselves through uncertainty and change. At the heart of his work is a simple principle: leadership of others begins with leadership of self.

Storytelling is how he brings that principle to life. He has delivered tailored presentations at more than 1,000 conferences across 23 countries and performed sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Sydney Opera House.

The perspective he brings to audiences has been shaped in high-risk environments, including protecting aid workers in Africa, the Middle East and Papua New Guinea.

With a master’s degree from the Australian Graduate School of Policing and executive education at Harvard, he combines practical experience with a grounded understanding of self-leadership under conditions of risk, uncertainty and pressure.

His work has been featured in publications ranging from The Tactical Edge, the journal of the US National Tactical Officers Association, to Virgin Australia’s inflight magazine. His clients are similarly varied and include Commonwealth Bank, Toyota, LG Electronics, the Oregon Narcotics Enforcement Association and Griffith University.

Keynote & After-Dinner Presentation

The Other Side of Fear examines what self-leadership looks like when the way forward is uncertain. Drawing on experiences shaped in moments when the stakes were real and there was no script to follow, Rob Redenbach shows how fear can become a signal to move forward rather than step back.

Ideal for leaders, entrepreneurs and teams navigating change, The Other Side of Fear brings together real stories, dry humour and hard-earned lessons to show what can happen when we stop waiting for guarantees and take responsibility for what comes next.

The Other Side of Fear is available in both keynote and after-dinner formats, with content and delivery tailored to suit the audience, event objectives and available time.

Workshop

Storycraft for Leaders explores storytelling as both an art form and a tool for leading ourselves and others. Participants learn how to turn ideas and lived experience into stories that build trust, hold attention and make complex ideas easier to understand. The approach applies equally to team meetings, workshops, keynote presentations and public forums.

Participants learn how to:

• Structure stories that capture attention and reinforce key messages.

• Understand how the stories we tell can shape perception, choices and behaviour.

• Build trust, credibility and influence through authentic communication.

• Make complex ideas easier to understand, remember and act upon.

• Use self-regulation and breath control to remain calm and effective under pressure.

• Communicate more effectively with difficult people and challenging audiences.

• Deliver messages that people remember long after the conversation ends.

Storycraft for Leaders is typically delivered as either a half-day or full-day programme, with ideal group sizes ranging from 8 to 20 participants.

Beyond developing individual communication skills, Storycraft for Leaders is a powerful team-building experience. As participants shape, share and refine their stories together, they learn more about the people behind the roles, practise giving and receiving constructive feedback, and build trust through a process that is both challenging and supportive. The result is greater connection, a stronger sense of shared purpose and a common language for communicating ideas that matter.
