– Lorna Boyle, President, Anatech

“The workshop was GREAT and Bob is equally as GREAT. It was EXACTLY what we needed and the perfect timing for it. He has the EXPERIENCE, the patience and the all the tools we need to get this done. We enjoyed all the activities and the discussions, Bob has a knack for getting us to where we needed to go without “telling” us.”
– Michelina Boksa, HR Manager, RN Design Limited

Your presentation was both visually and orally dynamic, as well as substance rich. After listening to your breakdown, both of us gained an effective way of inspiring our teams toward simple and simply. Reading your books on leadership is about to follow.
– Joanna Steinm AOCA, York Wright Planning

I have never been good at public speaking partly because I don’t know how to connect with the audience emotionally. I applied your methodology to a speech I made on one of my staff departure today. Many people came up to me later to tell me that my speech was amazing, that they were moved, and one said that more leaders should take time to say things like that because that is what people remember. I owe my speech to your session.
– Catherine A. Wei, BCAA

Competence Call Centre, Vienna

“Robert Murray is the most charismatic Key-Note Speaker for Vision, Strategy, Leadership, Change and Motivation we have ever experienced.  He convinced the audience at the 10th Call Centre Convention in Vienna with leadership inspiration at the highest level. “One must lead with a vision and do that on a daily basis,” said Robert (Bob) at the industry top-level event – describing his understanding of leadership.  As a manager, one has to have Vision every day. 

No one else can convey this idea more than Bob.  His long-standing international expertise in leading multi-national business organizations shows clearly which values should be given priority in order to successfully attain the set goals. Bob is not only a fantastic Key-Note Speaker, but also an experienced people manager with a profound background who enriches the life of everyone who is lucky to meet him at a conference, a seminar, a workshop or at the office. We were more than happy to allure Bob as Key-Note Speaker for the 10th Call Center Convention in Vienna and we can´t await to get more inspiration at future events.”

“His presentation, made within the frame of the most important Call-Centre event in Eastern-Europe, Mr. Murray taught us an important lesson about style and professionalism, with respect to the way one should run a business to success. It was charismatic and inspirational speech with a high impact to the surrounding audience.  His presentation was further mentioned by all the speakers and participants.  It was a great honour and joy to have him among us at this conference and the words we heard for two days were: “As Mr. Murray said…” This is the impact of what a charismatic leader means.  He is the leader who perfectly knows to transform an ambitious vision into a successful story and mark the existence of all the people he interacts with, no matter it is about a speech or a daily business.”

“I am writing to thank you once more for the excellent speech you delivered to the Central & Eastern Europe Supply Chain Management conference. It was fantastic to witness the energy and excitement of the whole audience during your presentation and I am certain that the messages that you have presented will leave a lasting and deep impression. Rarely have I experienced such a motivating and impactful presentation, for which the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, both immediately during the conference and in the weeks following. On a recent visit to one of the brewery managers in Russia I saw some of your statements written down on the whiteboard in his office. This has confirmed for me once more that your messages will have a long-lasting effect and will contribute strongly as we strive for World Class Performance.”

"From the moment he began speaking, Bob kept our members and guests wonderfully engaged and entertained as he brought practical insights to us all. We especially enjoyed his presentation’s clear, no-nonsense, logical approach to smart-leadership, innovation, and interpersonal communications. And his book, “It’s Already Inside” is just fantastic. Whether reading his book, or sitting in on one of Bob’s speaking engagements… story after story, you will feel as if you are right there with him in the scene, experiencing it first-hand — delightfully with lessons learned in tow. With Robert S. Murray comes his true-Canadian’s grace and charm; his inner strength as a seasoned corporate executive; and his core as a fellow pilgrim in life walking alongside, sharing the heart and mind of a leader’s wisdom.”

“The School of Business at BCIT engaged Bob Murray to lead the School in development of a School Strategic Plan, aligned with our Institute Strategic Plan. Bob became embedded in our management team. Through his leadership, in a short period of time, we were able to collaboratively develop a targeted plan that enabled the School to operationally engage in a more focused approach. The plan has been effectively used as a foundation for development of a comprehensive branding strategy and has enabled us to differentiate the School from that of our competition. Bob’s straightforward practical approach made this, and our ongoing success, possible. The plan has made it possible for me to operate with a clear vision, and has enabled the management team to accomplish much more, in a much shorter time, than we had ever anticipated. Thank you Bob!”

"Robert Murray provides insight into real life, front line, hands on leadership. He manages to inspire through powerful narrative and compelling stories.
