Bio

Global Speaker & 4x Author

Robb Holman is a globally renowned expert in personal transformation and the driving force behind the Inside Out Leadership philosophy. As a highly sought-after keynote speaker and best-selling author of four books, Robb has shared the stage with some of the most influential leaders of our time.

As the CEO of Holman International, a leading global leadership consultancy, Robb’s expertise has been recognized by Global Gurus, naming him one of the world's top 30 leadership speakers for three consecutive years (2022-present). His innovative Inside Out Leadership philosophy has been featured in major publications such as Inc., Forbes, and Fast Company.

Robb’s popular podcast showcases interviews with top transformational leaders worldwide, and his Inside Out Leadership Academy allows students to engage directly with these transformative principles. Through his keynote speaking engagements, Robb has inspired leaders globally, guiding them from burnout and emptiness to fulfillment and success by emphasizing the importance of living with purpose beyond financial gain or business achievements. His dynamic teaching style, authentic engagement, and thought-provoking content have made him a sought-after speaker on the international stage.

At 21, Robb faced a life-altering moment when doctors discovered a potentially cancerous mass in his midsection. Weeks later, an ultrasound revealed that the mass had miraculously disappeared, leading Robb to deeply reflect on his purpose. This experience fueled his lifelong mission to help leaders around the world find greater meaning in their lives.

More than 25 years later, Robb continues to follow his purpose, using his Inside Out Leadership philosophy to help leaders focus on what truly matters to achieve extraordinary results.

Fun Fact: Robb used to play professional basketball!

LEADING THE WAY FROM WITHIN

Nearly 80% of organizations report knowing they have an engagement problem. Despite good intentions, using outward tactics to reach into the hearts of team members often yields lackluster results. Empty incentives and negative reinforcement reflect an outside-in approach to leadership.

To resolve this workplace epidemic, leaders need a new approach that goes above and beyond traditional means of motivating and uniting teams – that approach is Inside Out Leadership. When team members are inspired to change rather than being pushed to change, it’s sustainable.

During this passionate and practical talk, Robb leads the way from burnout and emptiness to fulfillment and success, exploring how an individual’s innate purpose is worth so much more than the money they earn or the business results they achieve.

In helping people learn how to connect with their unique life’s purpose, they are finding success in a way they never expected - from the inside out!

GOING ALL IN

If you don’t have trust in team relationships you don’t have anything.

During this passionate and practical talk, Robb takes you on a inspirational and practical journey of learning how to build trust from the inside out. When trust is built and fostered, teams can accomplish the impossible together!

(This talk is based on Robb's second book, All In: How Impactful Teams Build Trust from the Inside Out.)

MOVING THE NEEDLE

When we let the goals and measures of success override our investment in our people, team members perceive themselves as a means to an end, a product to be consumed, to achieve some stated objective, not the objective itself.

Move the Needle is Robb's attempt at taking a closer look at why we must prioritize people over procedures for better results.

(This talk is based on Robb's third book, Move the Needle: How Inside Out Leaders Influence Organizational Culture)

THE HIDDEN POWER OF RECEIVING FROM ANYONE, ANYTIME

If everyone were focused solely on giving, would there be anyone left to receive? There are numerous reasons why leaders (and individuals in general) often struggle when it comes to receiving help, support, words of praise, compliments, and unique perspectives/opinions.

In his acclaimed work "Lessons from Abdul," renowned speaker and author Robb Holman delves into the key factors that frequently hinder leaders from embracing receptivity.

Through the profound transformative insights he gained from an unconventional mentor, Holman provides valuable guidance to surmount these obstacles. By becoming a more genuine and open receiver, you inevitably cultivate the capacity to be a purposeful and selfless giver.

(This talk is based on Robb's upcoming book, "Lessons From Abdul: The Hidden Power of Receiving from Anyone, Anytime," which will be globally released in early 2024)
