Drawing from personal stories, leadership lessons, and a touch of wisdom from his Mini Goldendoodle, Coco, Bob explores how Dedication, Discipline, and Tenacity (DDT) help us navigate change and rediscover purpose. With humor, authenticity, and insight, he reminds us that the road we’re meant to travel is rarely the one we planned—but always the one we build. Attendees will leave inspired to slow down, trust their instincts, and believe in themselves—one step, one decision, one road at a time.
Bob was born and raised in Detroit Michigan and graduated from the University of Detroit. He spent over 30 years in radio broadcasting and the last 16 years as an instructor, consultant and coach for Dale Carnegie Training. He was the managing partner who developed WIND FM in Gainesville and Ocala and the former franchisee of Dale Carnegie Jacksonville. He currently lives in Valdosta Georgia with his wife Alisa and their mini-golden-doodle, Coco and he runs his company MotivationU.
