Rob has helped me out on a couple of occasions now where the situation was delicate and needed careful handling. His very calm approach leading me through his conversation management model helped me to diffuse awkward situations in my mind. This in turn helped to reduce my levels of anxiety. He seeks to fully understand the challenge ahead before suggesting alternative options for resolution. I am a firm believer that there are always options in any given situation and Rob dissects the circumstances to suggest viable alternatives that have always been met with positive responses by the other side. One actually complimented afterwards on how I had handled the conversation! This is testament to Rob’s extensive experience and pragmatic approach. If you are faced with a challenging situation or conversation then I have no hesitation in recommending Rob.
