He is known around the world for sharing best practices and promoting sustainability of associations and chambers. Specialities: * Strategic Planning - without games and group hugs * Board Roles and Responsibilities - customized to the organization * Staff Training (risk, efficiency, policy mgmt, governance, etc.) TESTIMONIALS I’ve been in the trade association world for over 15 years with four different organizations. I’ve seen more than my fair share of strategic planning sessions during that time. I’ve never seen such an efficient, simplistic and well executed session. You have a very unique talent. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with your ability to listen to opinionated decision makers and then react to them is such a respectful and productive way. Today it was our pleasure to have you instruct our leaders of our board. I was taking notes as fast as I could, because everything you said was important to me personally and everyone in that room. As the President of our Association 2019, you were the best speaker and teacher that could have happened for all of us! I appreciate your time to travel over to explain our responsibilities and make us more aware of our duties and roles in this organization. This huge responsibility is sometimes daunting, but today you gave me the confidence I needed to govern. Everything you said, gave us examples of, and helped to explain what our duties are, were all so helpful and will be used in our future! You were the guiding star of the strategic planning retreat! AIA KY is indebted to you for your insight and broad perspective. This was one of the best facilitated planning sessions I have seen…and I’ve seen a lot of ‘em!!! Bravo, Arriva! Thank you so much for putting on that great workshop last week. It was one of the best (and I’ve been to thousands) ever! I really learned a lot! I can listen to Robert all day! There is much more I can, and need to learn from him. This should be at least an 8 hour workshop. Let me know if and when you do another one with him. I just want to say thank you for all you do for the associations. There is no one else out there that does what you do and is so willing to share the knowledge. (CAR) “Bob is pretty much irreplaceable in any line up of board education. No one does anything quite like Bob with the detailed resources and facts he brings to bear. Straight to the point, Bob hits all the key areas, awakens volunteers with reality, and shows them how it should be done. No role play, no bonding kum ba yah, he is straight forward and all business -just like my leaders want it.”- NSPE “We were ablaze with energy and ideas after your board presentation!” -GCA “Your seminar was the most practical, idea generating, ‘light a fire’ meeting that I’ve been to in a long while”. “Based on your leadership program I’m excited to start my year as president.” You’ve made major differences in our association, and the ripple effect just keeps multiplying the benefits! It’s nice to see that your commitment is recognized by your peers as well as your clients!” I credit your consistent message and easy-going presentation style with enabling us to establish an environment of mutual respect, tust and understanding between and among staff and volunteers.
