Keynote Speakers

High performance schools depend on balanced high performance educators. Effectiveness, personally and professionally, depends largely on our well-being, attitude and how we feel. Rob will leave you with a swag of small things that can make a real difference in your life.  It’s a fun, but serious step toward being more balanced and feeling your best when looking after students, staff and family.

Education leaders, teachers and support staff are under increasing pressure and there is plenty of evidence suggesting this is so.  And perhaps more than most other professions they tend to put the needs of others before their own.  “It’s All About You” is a, no hooks attached, time-out for staff to focus on their most important asset – themselves.

Rob Edwards has a Bachelor of Science with majors in Anatomy & Physiology. He has been a company director for 20 years in the health and well-being industry where he designed and delivered staff development programs for hundreds of organisations. Prior to that he worked for five years in a cardiac rehabilitation where he wrote the book "Better Blood Pressure".

He has diverse experience working with people at all levels of business, cardiac patients, young offenders, elite athletes, remote island communities and women’s groups.

Rob founded Its Time Foundation that installs solar power in remote Pacific island schools so, those kids can have a modern education.  He also founded the Plastic Free Oceans platform.
