Reflections on the journey
In An Evening with Rob Parsons, we invite you to step into the untold stories from Rob’s lifetime of overcoming obstacles, letting go of childhood labels and discovering that the past doesn’t have to define us.
You’ll hear about …
- Building confidence to move past the labels others put on you
- Finding hope beyond shattered dreams
- Enduring the hard times you just can’t fix
- Being inspired to take on new challenges
- Why tomorrow doesn’t have to be like yesterday
What is this event about?
Get a feel of the event and why others loved it …
It's packed with so much insightful and useful lessons, delivered beautifully with wit and feeling. Everyone can get something from Rob.
From the boy described as ‘making no use of what little ability he has,’ to an international best-selling author and speaker, Rob Parsons has a lifetime’s experience of overcoming obstacles.
He recalls the time when his father told him, ‘People like us don’t become lawyers,’ and the teacher who said even his best wasn’t good enough.
Yet with the help of the people who believed he could be more, he learnt how to grow through the challenges of life.
Join Rob on a journey through the decades as he reflects on a life mixed with laughter and tears, and draws on vivid stories from childhood, right through to the present day.
He’ll tap into a wealth of experience to help us make the best of our circumstances, gifts, opportunities – and perhaps most of all – our relationships.
In An Evening with Rob Parsons, we invite you to pull up a chair and settle in for a poignant night of storytelling that will reawaken your purpose and stay with you long after you head home.
Rob Parsons, OBE, is the founder and chairman of Care for the Family. Having previously been a partner at a legal practice, he is now a best-selling author of nearly 30 books and has spoken to more than a million people throughout his career.
Rob has been married to Dianne for over 50 years, and together they have two children and five grandchildren. To relax, they watch too many episodes of Vera and quite recently, have acquired Winnie, a Colliepoo, who has given them more hassle than all the kids and grandchildren combined.
Whether you’re 16 and leaving school or 65 and heading for retirement, this event is for everyone! From relationships to work, study to home life, and finances to mental wellbeing, Rob has learnt many lessons from life that will help you whatever stage you’re at.
‘Rob is not just one of the funniest and most powerful storytellers of our time, but his words show vulnerability, give hope and change hearts.’
‘Rob’s honesty and ‘everydayness’ made the life lessons achievable.’
‘Everything said tonight has resonated with me and encouraged me to have more self-belief – something I’ve often struggled with.’
