“RSM Australia was delighted to have Rob Redenbach back again, this time presenting at our 2026 Future Leaders Forum. His impact was evident from start to finish, bringing a standout mix of strategic thinking and authenticity, paired with a level of professionalism and approachability that makes him incredibly easy to work with.” – RSM

Rob Redenbach helps leaders and teams become more adaptable, resilient, and open to change. Alongside this, he has built a parallel career as a storyteller, with sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Sydney Opera House.

His perspective comes from experience in high-risk environments, including protecting aid workers in the Middle East and Papua New Guinea. That background informs his work with leaders and teams facing pressure and uncertainty.

Recognition for this work has included features in publications ranging from the journal of the US National Tactical Officers Association to Virgin Australia’s inflight magazine, as well as appearances on Conversations with Richard Fidler and the Building Resilient Kids podcast.

Together with a Master’s degree from the Australian Graduate School of Policing and executive education at Harvard, this background underpins the keynotes and workshops he has delivered in 23 countries across more than 1,000 conferences and professional settings. Clients have included NAB, Commonwealth Bank, Toyota, LG Electronics and Queensland Rail.

Keynote

The Other Side of Fear examines what changes when uncertainty is treated as a signal to move forward rather than step back. Drawing on experiences shaped in moments where the stakes were real and there was no script to follow, Rob Redenbach shows that fear and failure are rarely the end of the story, and often the beginning of something better.

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

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.

Storycraft for Leaders explores storytelling as both an art form and a leadership tool. 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.

• 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.
