About Robert
Robert is one of the UK’s most experienced and successful trainers. For more than a decade he has trained statesmen and stateswomen, politicians, chief executives and chairmen who are about to speak live on TV, directors preparing for interviews with the international press and national radio stations, and managers learning how to get the best out of their trade or local media.
He has trained throughout the world, including assignments in the US, Brazil, China, India, South Africa and Russia. His trainees include political leaders from several countries, more than a thousand spokespeople for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department for International Development and the British Council, including ambassadors and other senior embassy officials.
His many other clients have included the entire executive management teams of the Olympic Delivery Authority for London 2012, senior executives at BT, British Airways, Accenture, FedEx, SAP, Orange, Oracle and SITA (the air transport company), and a huge range of public-sector bodies and charities.
He began his career as a TV executive in Asia, and went on to become a contributor to the International Herald Tribune and an international communications advisor. Though he now dedicates his time to media training, he still writes columns for the American Spectator about British and European affairs, and makes broadcast media appearances to discuss political and communications issues.
