A story from absolute rock bottom, confined to a wheelchair to the summit of Mount Everest, across the Ironman finish line, and beyond.

After severely breaking both ankles in a freak climbing accident, Robby was wheelchair-bound for almost a year, robbing him of everything including his career, financial stability, his engagement, and his dreams of climbing mountains around the world. After depression, mounting debt and anxiety led to attempted suicide, Robby began a journey to "get better". Better, stronger and tougher than he was the day before.


That decision would not only save his life, but it became the foundation of a journey of tiny steps closer to rebuilding a life worth living for. His jaw-dropping story is a journey from absolute rock bottom to the summit of the highest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest and beyond.

Since his accident in 2006, Robby has climbed 5 of the Seven Summits, finished the Ironman triathlon, several South African first ascent expeditions as well as being the first South African to summit Kilimanjaro twice in 7 days.


Robby has presented to over 80 000 people across the world. He has the ability to hold his audiences in the palm of his hand with his authentically raw and personal delivery, cleverly laced from beginning to end with lightning-quick humour. Robby also works with several global pharmaceutical companies and advocacy groups on the topic of mental wellness, particularly depression anxiety and suicide prevention.

“If you want to hear a unique story filled with intrigue, adventure and real-life heroism of rising from the depts of despair to the top of the world, Robbie is your guy. Not only is he a fantastic keynote speaker, drawing in audiences and compelling them to think about their lives differently, but he is also just an amazing guy. We had the pleasure of hosting Robbie twice at our SalesGuru Live events, both events sold out, with great feedback from delegates. We would highly recommend Robbie for your next event, conference, team meeting or launch.”

All parts of your delivery spoke to the messages we were looking for in a keynote: Resilience, growth mindset, wellness, balance and overcoming adversity etc. Thank you Robby!

It was an emotionally charged event - but one that I believe opened up the Leadership Team. You broke some barriers and possibly opened doors to new possibilities for them. On the whole; your talk was inspirational; so much so that they incorporated many of your learnings into topics of conversation on day 2. They listened, learned, and definitely grew from hearing you!! I really appreciate the time you took to ensure synergy with your content and what they were trying to achieve at the conference.

Robby was able to hit each one of our key objectives in an incredibly engaging and entertaining way. His humour made one of the most touching stories I have ever heard even more engaging and relatable. We intend to bring Robby in again next year for more of his magic.

Alexander Forbes was proud to host our Top 50 Senior Leadership Conference in September 2018. We researched several speakers and came across Robby’s story, and wow what an amazing story at that! We needed to find someone who would grab our audience and take them on a journey that not only spoke to their careers but impacted them on a personal level as well. Robby is real, interactive, inspirational, fearless, and has no filters when sharing the true challenges he faced on a daily basis. Kudos to Robby for helping us set the stage for a remarkable conference.
