From protecting aid workers in the Middle East to performing stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe, Rob Redenbach draws on his unique experiences to provide actionable tools for embracing change and building resilience. By adapting personal protection strategies to leadership and everyday life, he has coached high-performing teams in more than 20 countries.

Rob has also delivered sold-out talks at the Sydney Opera House, sharing practical lessons on leadership, resilience, and adaptability. His journey to this iconic stage was set in motion decades earlier.

While managing a security company in Papua New Guinea, Rob developed a defensive tactics system that he later taught to the FBI in Los Angeles. His expertise was then featured in The Tactical Edge, the official journal of the U.S. National Tactical Officers Association, before he trained Special Forces in the United Kingdom and Nelson Mandela’s bodyguard team in South Africa.

Expanding beyond these domains, Rob earned a Master of Arts from CSU, studied mediation at Bond University’s Centre for Dispute Resolution, completed executive education at the Harvard Kennedy School, and collaborated with internationally respected leaders—including the authors of The Resilience Shield.

Like his book Always a Little Further, Rob’s presentations empower leaders and teams to face adversity with courage and a renewed sense of purpose. To explore how he can enhance your next event—online or in person.

Testimonials

On behalf of our CEO and the Brownes Team, I want to express our sincere gratitude. Rob’s presentation was captivating, and I thoroughly enjoyed his stories and how he tied them back to our company values. His insight on sophisticated communication resonated deeply with our GMs and employees at all levels. It highlighted how we can leverage our relationships and adaptability to thrive both as a team and as individuals. His Harvard example was the perfect illustration of how we can cultivate meaning within our organisation. His life story is truly inspiring.

We gifted every one of our broker and adviser guests a copy of Rob’s book What I Didn’t Learn at Harvard as part of our National Roadshow. Rob’s message of courage and relentless curiosity aligned perfectly with our values of initiative and helping others to be successful. His ability to fully engage an audience for over an hour without needing a single PowerPoint slide certainly justified our decision to work with him and I’m looking forward to exploring how he can partner with us beyond this year’s event.

Over the past 5 years we've hired some of the world's most respected law enforcement speakers – including Dave Grossman – on multiple occasions. Rob Redenbach was rated as one of our very best speakers. The response to his half-day workshop on leadership was overwhelming great. Nearly every evaluation rated him 9s or 10s all the way through. Very high marks from a cynical bunch of senior narcotic cops.
