Why Rob Robertson?
Rob Robertson’s purpose is to make freedom and high performance easy for clients. He runs workshops and delivers keynotes on AI strategy and how to achieve high performance by building a Business Operating System that people embrace, own, and live as a core productivity culture.
This may include how Emotional Fitness creates inner freedom and trust. Emotional Fitness refers to the level of emotional self-understanding- being either disconnected or in-tune, which helps determine the level of performance obtainable in business and sport. In addition to his work as an executive coach, Rob works as a Sports Mental Skills Coach.
His Emotional Fitness Journey
Rob’s fascination with Emotional Fitness and Mental Skills began at age 11, when he was selected for the Mid-Canterbury rep soccer team. While very proud of this achievement, he felt out of his depth at this higher level. This massive self-doubt was reflected in not excelling under pressure. Then, a similar challenge at age 18, playing tennis for Mid-Canterbury, helped trigger his thirst to learn everything he could about building his self-esteem and inner confidence, letting go of self-doubt, and gaining the edge in sport and business.
Please read the full story here about his journey from abuse and self-doubt to self-esteem and trust after discovering the powerful influence of emotions in creating his thoughts and future outcomes. Over 20 years of developing the Emotional Fitness tools and the Synchronicity Grid, he found loads of suppressed emotions and anger expressed as self-doubt. He was learning the essential tools to own and integrate negative emotions for growth. The outcome of this inner growth journey was a new sense of freedom, which today drives him to help others build greater self-belief under pressure to achieve peak performance in sports and business.
Over the years, Rob has noticed that a supportive, positive team environment reduced his self-doubt. This has driven Rob’s passion for helping others shift their team thinking toward a new culture of collaboration and high-performance trust. This is fundamental today, as old team communication methods are no longer as effective. Hence, the right technology to share, focus and support team strategy, collaboration and communication for big gains in productivity and team performance.
As well as speaking on productivity, AI, technology, leadership, sports performance, inner freedom, and self-esteem, Rob helps CEOs and business owners grow their Emotional Fitness for easier high performance, greater inner trust, and more predictable success.
Career Background
Rob’s passion for growing people and high performance is obvious; he is a business strategist, professional speaker, facilitator and business mentor.
Before he qualified as an executive coach in 2001, he worked as National Sales Manager at One.Net in Australia, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) where he was responsible for more than 50 staff and team leaders. That was also when he created his first self-hosted HTML website using Microsoft FrontPage.
Later, his career took him to the role of Leadership Specialist at ACE Insurance. This was 2IC for NZ, accountable for the leadership development of more than 100 people across NZ.
His passion for ‘Sport’ has been an exciting journey of new knowledge, with lessons on how his attitude and emotions influence Emotional Fitness and build his resilience and self-esteem. In rugby, he was on the fringe of the North’s Rugby 1st grade professional squad in NSW, Australia, where a severe concussion ended his season. Yet it was his fluctuating self-belief that was the true source of his limited outcomes.
Fuelled by his passion for sport, he set out to unlock the answers to achieving his own peak productivity: the science of Emotional Fitness and ‘how to be the best you can be’, which led Rob to further studies in Sports Psychology at Newcastle College, United Kingdom, in 1997. Dedication, determination and focus in sports have produced many rewards and lessons in Rob’s life, transcending his professional and personal ambitions.
Rob is a Professional Tennis Registry (USPTR) certified professional coach who loves playing tennis. His strength is his vast experience and knowledge of how emotions impact performance and the tools and techniques to create high performance for more rewarding success. His experience has provided great insight into how our unconscious programming, emotions and beliefs interact to enhance or limit success.
This has helped shape Rob’s understanding of peak performance and Emotional Fitness by learning the techniques to ensure more predictable success both on and off the field:
- To be able to help others unlock their passion, drive and purpose.
- To help leaders guide their team with a culture of unity, trust and self-responsibility by understanding their and their team’s intrinsic motivation.
Late in 2013, Unboxed OS was born, living the mission to change business strategy and technology thinking around people, work, and cultures.
