Rob Redenbach – Author & Speaker

“Redenbach is self-effacing as he teases out the fibre of human integrity.” The Courier Mail

ROB REDENBACH

Rob Redenbach has taught adaptability and resilience strategies to leaders in over twenty countries. Organisations such as BHP, CommBank, Fuji Xerox, Griffith University, LG Electronics, the Oregon Narcotics Enforcement Association, Toyota, and YPO have benefited from his live presentations.

A former member of the Australian Defence Force, his post-military experiences include working with Nelson Mandela’s bodyguard team in South Africa and providing close personal protection to aid workers in Iraq. Since then, he has earned a Master of Arts in Terrorism, Safety and Security from Charles Sturt University, studied Mediation at Bond University’s Centre for Dispute Resolution, and completed Executive Education at Harvard University in the United States.

In 2023, the Edinburgh Evening News compiled a list of the Top 10 acts worth catching at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, ranking Rob’s biographical talk at #4. His 2024 performance of the same talk at the Sydney Opera House sold out six weeks in advance.

Rob’s novella, The Promise, was described by award-winning journalist Melissa Doyle as “such an important story. Beautifully written, it brings history to life.” Now available as a complimentary download, The Promise invites readers to support veteran and first-responder charities. Responses so far include Senator Paul Scarr donating $1,000 to the veteran charity Cor Infinitus.

KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS

Rob’s presentations can be delivered as stand-alone keynotes or combined as one interactive workshop. His content focuses on:

Adaptability & Resilience
Teamwork & Collaboration
Trust & Cooperation
Communication & Influence

LEADERSHIP WITHOUT RANK

The days of barking orders or pulling rank are over. Modern leaders need a different approach, one that helps them progress in their own career as they simultaneously empower the team members they work alongside. This is more than a feel good ideal – it makes pragmatic sense. And with a pragmatic mix of practical experience and proven techniques, Rob Redenbach’s Leadership Without Rank explains how to become more respected and more influential – whether you have rank or not.

A key feature of Leadership Without Rank is the interactive facilitation of the program. Rather than being a ‘talking head’ that lectures audience members, Rob encourages an open dialogue that incorporates the collective experiences of the team. This style of facilitation not only creates an inclusive learning environment, it simultaneously demonstrates the universal value of collaboration and teamwork.

“Over the past five years we’ve hired some of the world’s most respected speakers. Rob Redenbach was rated as one of our very best. The response to his workshop on leadership was overwhelmingly great. Nearly every evaluation rated him 9s or 10s all the way through.” – Oregon Narcotics Enforcement Association

FOOTPRINTS & LEGACIES

With a message that applies in business and everyday life, Rob Redenbach’s Footprints & Legacies is a rollercoaster of adventure, learning and laughs. Combining compelling academic research with a tapestry of true stories, Redenbach delivers unforgettable insights into initiating change, improving leadership and enhancing teamwork.

Footprints & Legacies incorporates some of Rob’s personal conversations with Nelson Mandela, but there’s more to the presentation than that. Among other things, this dynamic keynote incorporates Rob’s academic research at Harvard and addresses the not-for-profit work he’s been doing with his new book The Promise – which ex-Special Ops Commander Mark Wales described as “timeless advice on how to grapple with the mess, pain and uncertainty of life. I love it.”

If you’re planning a conference or staff development session and you’re considering adding Footprints & Legacies to the agenda, here’s a sample of the feedback you can expect:

“On behalf of our CEO and the Brownes Team, I want to express our sincere gratitude.
