Rob Schiffmann Biography

Rob Schiffmann is a New York City-based corporate host, comedian, improviser, musician, and keynote speaker with a career at the intersection of entertainment and the corporate sector spanning more than two decades. Schiffmann is a three-time MAC Award winner from the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs. He has hosted meetings for a range of major corporations, including Big Lots, IBM, Lenovo, Crayola, Merck, Folgers, Microsoft, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Hewlett-Packard, Bank of America, BMW, DuPont, Genentech, Pepsi, and Dannon.

Schiffmann has served as a cast member, director, teacher, and music director for Chicago City Limits, New York City's longest-running comedy show. He directs and performs with "Broadway's Next Hit Musical," an improvisational musical-comedy show that tours nationally. The show takes audience suggestions and turns them into spontaneous scenes and songs from never-before-seen musicals. Schiffmann has been recognized by The New York Times and New York Post for his work in comedy and improvisation.

In addition to his work as a corporate emcee and improviser, Schiffmann is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and recording artist and producer, both independently and with his band "The Hillary Step." His expertise includes conducting interviews, leading interactive game shows, and creating impromptu songs about audience members, often accompanying himself on guitar or piano or using customized backing tracks. Schiffmann has also appeared as an improviser on television on The CBS Early Show, MTV, and The Daily Download on Fuze.

Schiffmann received the INNY Award for Best Improv Coach and has performed and taught improvisation internationally, including in London, Mexico, Portugal, and Guatemala. He has taught and directed improv at The School for Film and Television, Weist-Barron, and Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In virtual settings, Schiffmann has hosted and performed for organizations such as Brightstar Cares, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, Zoetis Pet Care, The Domestic Violence Crisis Center, and Greenwich Pharmaceuticals.

Schiffmann delivers a keynote titled "The Power to Pivot: Mistakes are Gifts!" focusing on the power of presence and turning the unexpected into memorable experiences. Through interactive exercises and professional examples, he addresses topics such as staying in the moment, active listening, and building upon the unexpected. Schiffmann's blend of comedy, music, and improvisational skills contributes to engaging and memorable corporate events, both in-person and virtually.

Rob Schiffmann Speaking Topics

  • The Power to Pivot: Mistakes are Gifts!

    Life rarely goes as planned. Things go awry and as hard as you try to stay on the path you have laid out, you will invariably be diverted: the powerpoint on your presentation will go out; your deadline is tomorrow instead of a week from tomorrow; you only have five minutes with a stakeholder when you thought you had fifteen! These are the moments in which we all throw our hands up in frustration, we panic and/or we freeze! However, there IS another way!

    Award winning improviser / trainer / emcee, Rob Schiffmann can show you the path towards presence and acceptance in these moments and show you how you can turn these "mistakes" into gifts. This interactive keynote will have audience members on their feet and armed with the 'Power to Pivot'. Through the use of interactive exercises, professional and personal examples, the audience will walk away with the understanding that some of the world's greatest successes have come when constraint has given rise to ingenuity. Topics covered include: staying in the moment, listening actively and harnessing the power to accept and build upon the unexpected. You will listen, you will laugh and you will learn to truly live in the moment!
