Real-talk speaker and meditation teacher on mental health, purpose and healthy decision-making.
Thomas Robb has spent thirteen years touring Australia with Life Is The Way, speaking to audiences that run from members of parliament to Year 9 students. He works as a real-talk speaker, workshop facilitator, yoga and meditation instructor, outdoor and adventure therapist and one-to-one mentor — a combination that lets him move between a corporate leadership session and a school hall without changing who he is. More than 10,000 people have now sat in one of his rooms.
What distinguishes Robb is the territory he is willing to enter and how quickly he gets there. His sessions deal directly with mental health, healthy decision-making and the distance between who people are and who they present as, and he builds the safety for that conversation in minutes rather than hours. He has presented at Marist College Canberra and St Joseph's College Geelong, run programs for Brighton Grammar in Melbourne, and taken the same work into the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority, Pirate Life Brewery in Adelaide and MacKillop Family Services. He has toured his public workshops through more than thirty town halls and yoga studios across five states, and was profiled across two pages on the cover of Geelong Times Magazine.
For wellbeing conferences, leadership offsites, staff development days and secondary school programs, Robb offers something a conventional keynote cannot — a session people leave re-energised, refocused and less stressed, and that colleagues are still talking about weeks later. Audiences reconnect with their own sense of purpose, and with each other.
Thomas Robb is a keynote speaker based in Victoria who speaks on inspiration, leadership and motivation. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.

As a teacher, towards the end of term your spirit or spark can tend to waiver. Tom’s workshop came at the perfect time for us as colleagues to reconnect with our purpose and bond as a collective of likeminded educators. Within 10 minutes Tom had us opening up, softening and sharing deep inner truths and vulnerabilities that had been bottled up inside. We bonded. There were tears, laughter and a lightness the permeated the staff in such a short space of time and lasted well beyond the workshop. We let go, we focused, we put ourselves first and remembered why we teach and the importance of this role in building a community and society. We took a moment to appreciate ourselves and really see each other for the compassionate and kind people that we are. A deeper sense of gratitude, consideration and compassion filtered through the coming weeks as we noticed a more supportive and appreciative commitment to assisting each other’s efforts in achieving our common goals. Truly a practice that should be embedded within each school’s staff well-being program.Secondary History and Drama Teacher, Jindabyne Central School
Tom Robb’s presentation was entertaining and effective. His pragmatic approach to confronting the challenges of met by adolescent students was refreshingly optimistic. Tom’s personable engagement of our Year 9 boys was professional yet sincere, and was greatly appreciated by students and staff alike. Tom was clearly a gifted and confident public speaker who interspersed serious content amongst light-hearted comedy and active participation. In his presentation on decision-making for teenagers he demonstrated a keen awareness of the audience and was able to manipulate their focus well through story-telling and multimedia. Tom’s wealth of life experience enabled him to draw upon a wide range of challenges faced by young people, and he communicated serious and complex issues with integrity and sensitivity. The solutions he offered up for consideration by the students were age-appropriate, practical and effective, and were indicative not only current trends in adolescent development but also his own robust personal code of ethics. Our students were very thankful for the opportunity to have worked with Tom, and they were very appreciative of the simple, constructive and mature advice he provided. I have no hesitations in recommending Tom to other organisations and am happy to speak with those who may be considering one of his presentations in the future.Coordinator, Footsteps and Outdoor Education
Tom’s presentation was engaging, thoughtful and relevant to teenage boys. His ability to engage the audience was tremendous, allowing him to deliver clear messages and advice. Tom’s personal stories related to the boys, which challenged the provoking thoughts. His presentation was one of the best we’ve seen.Year 10 Coordinator, St Joseph's College Geelong
