Born in Australia, Robert was whisked back to England where he spent his childhood. After many years complaining about the weather, he did the only sensible thing, and moved back to Australia. Queensland actually. Where he enjoys walks along the beach with his wonderful family. Known for his humorous presentations and sensitive group facilitation, Robert is "the trainer's trainer." (Pssst. He still complains about the weather if it gets too cold!)
