The Voyageur Story
Fortitude in Distress
"Fortitude in Distress" was the motto of the Voyageurs - the first European business people to do commerce in North America trading furs in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. They were strong, efficient, mobile, flexible and determined leaders and workers. They were then what we need in business now. Bob lives the Voyageur life today – and in typical entrepreneur style has turned that lifestyle into a business. He paddles historic fur-trade routes in his birch bark canoes during the summer and lives in his rustic cabin in the woods the rest of the year. Self-sufficient, resilient, thriving, surviving – in business, at home and at play. He chops his wood, hauls his water, uses candles for light. No TV. No neighbours. Off the grid. He lives now as his Voyageur grandfathers did for generations before him. Authentically, boldly, without compromise! In fact Bob is the world’s foremost Voyageur. He’s lived more days, slept more nights, and paddled more miles as an authentic Voyageur than any other person alive today. And he’s done all that while operating a successful business. Bob uses stories from his Voyageur TV series, expeditions and lifestyle to turn a business message into a business adventure. He's a true Voyageur - on stage, in business, at home! Bob combines his Voyageur life and his experience as a successful entrepreneur in this session. He tells the story of his 100 day birch bark canoe expedition from Montreal to Winnipeg. He’ll explain how his dream became not one TV series - but two. He talks about fortitude, teamwork, leadership, goals, tenacity. This is a massively inspiring session. No one ever forgets Bob, or the people who hire him, after this session.
American Express describes him perfectly: “A combination of Grizzly Adams, George Carlin and Richard Branson. A poignant message with a warm and compassionate delivery.”

The Hooker Story
Are you 'giving' what you need to sell?
Catchy title eh! This is all about selling service! Getting people to pay for what we do is tough but very doable. Bob’s done it, does it, loves it. He’s a serious student of the skill, the art, the profession - of selling service. It’s what he’s done for 40 years. He’s written books about it. He knows that selling service is dramatically different than selling a tangible product. And it’s more difficult. Far more difficult! Bob believes the old adage that “selling is selling” is a crock of you know what. That stuff flows down hill and Bob believes it should be in the business toilet where it belongs. Bob will use the confidence he’s accumulated as a result of his research and selling success to get your audience to look at selling and service as they never have before. That’s a guarantee! He’ll share what he’s learned, borrowed and stolen from the best sellers of service in the world. He’ll share with the audience what they need to do to sell more, in less time and make more money doing it. All in 7 easy steps!
