Exciting, Entertaining, Tempting Talks...

...Perfect for your demanding audiences

Rob has quickly built up a great reputation for introducing groups of all ages, sizes and interests to new subjects. He ignites the enthusiasm of his audiences by finding new ways to describe the unfamiliar - not by dumbing down - at the same time he'll include enough detail to intrigue experts. Rob's been told he could hold a crowd on the edge of their seats describing an empty wall but more usually draws on his expansive travel, diving, photographic and high technology experience!

His talks aren't scripted and even though she's seen him speak many times his partner Dawn says each is so tailored to the audience that he's never given the same one twice. Humour is a very important part of the performance and helps to convey both the nuances and the grand concepts of his subjects. This is always pitched carefully for kids, paced to enthral adults and skilfully balanced for mixed groups. The talks are very entertaining and his crab dance has become rightly famous!

Rob speaks on many subjects and although he has prepared talks he can easily entertain on any number of themes and even improvise on the spur of the moment. There's a selection below but requests are encouraged and you are welcome to call the shots. Talks can be tailored to fit the time available, it's no problem to incorporate breaks and take questions as required.
