Rob Redenbach Biography
Rob Redenbach specialises in helping people stay calm and make clear decisions when pressure rises. His approach is built around a simple idea: influence of others begins with influence of self.
This philosophy underpins his signature presentation, Calm When It Counts, which teaches practical strategies that reduce conflict, strengthen psychological safety and support better decisions in high-pressure moments.
Redenbach’s work has taken him from managing a security company in Papua New Guinea to training Nelson Mandela’s personal protection team in South Africa and protecting aid workers in Iraq. Since then he has shared his insights with leaders and teams in twenty-three countries, helping them understand how calm thinking shapes better decisions. He has also performed storytelling and comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Sydney Opera House, demonstrating his ability to connect with audiences in any setting.
Alongside his practical experience, Redenbach holds a Master of Arts in Terrorism, Safety and Security from the Australian Graduate School of Policing, as well as postgraduate qualifications in dispute resolution from Bond University and executive education from the Harvard Kennedy School.
Whether speaking to corporate teams, educators or frontline professionals, Redenbach equips people with the skills to stay composed, reduce tension and respond well when it matters most.

Calm When It Counts: Strategies to De-Escalate Conflict
Calm When It Counts helps leaders and teams stay steady under pressure and reduce the risk of difficult moments escalating. Combining extensive field experience with postgraduate study in safety, security and dispute resolution, Rob Redenbach shows how simple, effective strategies can lower tension, improve communication and guide behaviour toward safer outcomes.
Participants learn how to control their own response, read the behaviour in front of them and make choices that defuse rather than intensify conflict. The programme is designed for workplaces that want calmer interactions, stronger psychological safety and better decisions under stress. The result is a memorable session that blends real-world insight with stories and humour, making the learning both engaging and easy to apply.
Calm When It Counts: Strategies to De-Escalate Conflict is available as a keynote or an extended interactive workshop.

Write The Script
Rob’s signature keynote, Write The Script, reveals how complacency and group conformity can lock individuals and teams into rigid, unproductive routines. By sharing lived experience and practical tools, Rob empowers audiences to overcome these challenges and drive meaningful progress. As Unilever’s Global Chief of Transformation noted: “Rob’s idea of scripts, and how to adapt them to meet changing needs, is particularly important. Above all, he’s an incredible storyteller and teacher who helps people not only grasp concepts but also apply them in real life.”
Write The Script can be delivered in person or online. While in-person presentations naturally offer a dynamic energy, Rob’s content and delivery consistently engage and empower audiences across all formats. During one session streamed from Sydney, Australia, participants in Rogaland, Norway, joined hundreds across six time zones—from Mumbai to Dubai and beyond—and came away with practical strategies to enhance both their professional and personal lives.
Typical feedback from that session includes: “I’m really thankful for being able to listen to Rob’s speech. This was definitely one of the best Masterclasses we have had in years. Everything he presented was very insightful and valuable, especially the main message: ‘If you don’t write the script, the script writes you!’
