Rob Roy Consulting

Before the holidays get too busy, Rob Roy Consulting pauses to give thanks for what we have—our amazing clients, colleagues, and families. And our 8th year working on behalf of them all. Every year we show our thanks with a donation to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, an organization that has helped those in need get healthy food for their families for over 30 years. If you are fortunate enough to be able to help, please support Second Harvest, or a similar organization in your part of the world.   Please follow the link for more information. Happy Thanksgiving!

Rob Roy Consulting’s research associate Jesse A. Reynolds and I had a wonderful time with the Stockholm School of Economics Executive Education program this morning. We ran a three-hour workshop on Innovation Models, Gen AI, and Persuasive Storytelling, working with 45 thought-provoking and creative executives from multiple industries and backgrounds. Plus the facilities at Wharton Executive Education are so gorgeous! Special thanks to our good friends at SSE, Angelika Lindstrand and Karin Wistrom, for making this possible. It’s our 8th year with the program, and we learn something new every time. Can’t wait for our visit to Stockholm and SSE in late February!

As BCW and H&K merge to form Burson, my thoughts are with the people who may be feeling a little uncertain about the future. So I'm sharing a few tips for managing anxieties through a merger, whether they're your own or your team's. I went through the merger of H&K and Public Strategies back in 2010 when I was H&K's global technology practice lead. I know how nerve-wracking something like this can be, especially for those who haven't been through a merger before. This post is designed to not only be helpful to people going through this particular merger, but to anyone who's facing the uncertainty of a reorg. I've also offered a few thoughts on this particular merger. I hope you find it useful. https://lnkd.in/gppxSy_k

I founded Rob Roy Consulting in January 2017 with one core belief in mind: That the most persuasive thing we can do is to find the truest thing to say. This belief has sustained our team through all the ups and downs over the past seven years, and we’re proud to still be going strong. We’re also incredibly grateful to all our clients and partners for their unwavering commitment to this approach. We offer a wide variety of services across persuasive storytelling, speaker coaching, leadership training, research and influencer relations. We engage in both data-driven and emotionally honest conversations with our clients that sometimes require us to dig deep and face inconvenient facts. It makes our work even more rewarding, more meaningful, and ultimately more successful. The past seven years wouldn’t have been possible without the kind of clients and partners who value the truth. We owe our longevity to these people and this vision we share. In turbulent times, trust becomes even more paramount. Sales, stock price, employee retention, and board conversations are all rooted in trust. And if YOU don’t believe in what you’re saying, or if you’re not inspired by your own story, it’s hard to get anyone ELSE to believe in it or be inspired by it. But when you catch fire and do the hard work it takes to eliminate all the b.s. and spin from your message, and once you get down to the core truth you’re trying to communicate, it’s amazing what kind of impact that can have, both professionally and personally. That’s what Rob Roy does. That’s what our clients give us the opportunity to do. And it’s ridiculously enjoyable. So if you’ve been a part of Rob Roy’s journey over the past seven years—thank you. If it’s been a while since we’ve connected—let’s catch up! And if you’re curious to know what it feels like to speak, write and lead with authenticity, confidence and conviction, no matter what challenges you’re facing, come check us out. We’d love to show you what we’re talking about. Here's to another seven years of helping purpose-driven people find their persuasive power.
