“Redenbach is self-effacing as he teases out the fibre of human integrity.” The Courier Mail.
ROB REDENBACH — Helping Leaders Embrace Change and Build Resilience
From protecting aid workers in the Middle East to performing stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe, Rob Redenbach draws on his unique experiences to provide actionable tools for embracing change and building resilience. By adapting personal protection strategies to leadership and everyday life, he has coached high-performing teams in more than 20 countries.
Rob has also delivered sold-out talks at the Sydney Opera House, sharing practical lessons on leadership, resilience, and adaptability. His journey to this iconic stage was set in motion decades earlier.
While managing a security company in Papua New Guinea, Rob developed a defensive tactics system that he later taught to the FBI in Los Angeles. His expertise was then featured in The Tactical Edge, the official journal of the U.S. National Tactical Officers Association, before he trained Special Forces in the United Kingdom and Nelson Mandela’s bodyguard team in South Africa.
Expanding beyond these domains, Rob earned a Master of Arts from CSU, studied mediation at Bond University’s Centre for Dispute Resolution, completed executive education at the Harvard Kennedy School, and collaborated with internationally respected leaders—including the authors of The Resilience Shield.
Like his book Always a Little Further, Rob’s presentations empower leaders and teams to face adversity with courage and a renewed sense of purpose. To explore how he can enhance your next event—online or in person—contact your preferred speakers bureau or email rob@redenbach.com

Stress is Not The Problem
- Eliminating stress isn’t the key to resilience—balancing high performance with intentional recovery is. In Stress is Not The Problem (the problem is a lack of recovery), Rob introduces a practical framework built around four key areas—Mind, Body, Social, and Global. Through this lens, his interactive facilitation creates an open dialogue that engages teams, sparks reflection, and improves resilience.
Storytelling for Leaders
- Storytelling isn’t just a skill—it’s a leadership advantage. Storytelling for Leaders goes beyond public speaking tips, offering an interactive team-building experience that equips leaders with the ability to connect, influence, and empower. In a supportive environment, participants gain practical tools to craft compelling narratives, communicate with confidence, and lead with authenticity—turning everyday interactions into opportunities to engage and inspire.
