Rob Peck’s highly original approach to keynote speaking results from a rather unique educational background. After graduating the University Of Pennsylvania (Phi Beta Kappa) and doing post-graduate studies at Harvard and The Sorbonne University in Paris, France, Rob enrolled in the Antic Arts Academy (founded by 4 former Ringling Brothers Clown College "professors" including MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Michael Moschen). After a 20 year career as a touring performing artist- including a long running one man show, commissioned by and performed at the Smithsonian Institute, as well as feature slots on cable and network television programs such as Donahue, Evening Magazine, and Amazing America- the International Jugglers Association chose Rob for it’s 1999 Excellence in Education award. A quick mid-life career crisis later, Rob turned in his clown nose and took up public speaking with a passion... becoming the founder and driving force of ZESTWORKS - a speaking, training, and consulting firm, whose core philosophy is to make content come alive by linking lessons with laughter. Rob's guiding principle is that high spirits mean low attrition. Keynotes like "Keeping All The Balls In The Air" or "Laugh & Learn....And Think Long Term" combine enduring truths with mesmerizing circus skills. In Rob's nimble hands juggling becomes a vivid metaphor for how to deal with lots of "balls" in the air – and still stay focused. When he is not on the platform, Rob regularly conducts in-house creativity seminars, designs team building training programs and has served as a spirit in the workplace consultant for numerous companies and organizations. From Bahrain to Barcelona, Harvard to Hewlett Packard, Rob's customized programs have helped leaders implement a common sense approach to inter-departmental communication by reframing the question "How smart are you?" to "How are you smart?" ZESTWORKS team-building training programs (like All Work & No Play.... NO WAY!!) let leaders and staff experience first hand how humor can help company's stay focused, stay flexible and stay together in a high trust winning organization. As a speaker, trainer or consultant, Rob Peck’s literal and figurative understanding of "juggling" immediately strikes a universal chord that cuts across all age and gender barriers; and helps multi-tasking professionals rediscover a life-balance, which frees them to have less stress and more zest.... at work.... and at home.
