A Public Speaking Journey Rooted in Performance
Rob’s Public Speaking Journey is Rooted in Practice & Performance Skills
● Rob’e comfort on stage is more than just a skill. It is baked in! It is in his flesh & blood!

His Mom & Dad were both pros, and insisted that Rob and his sisters give standing talks about their day in school, including standing up straight and speaking clearly. When added to his hard-fought ascendance to “First Trumpet” in the town marching band, Rob was on his way to developing his own comfort under the lights.
● In college, Rob’s major in Speech & Theatre Arts was a natural and further honed his comfort as a speaker/performer, whether for an audience of one

May 2, 2016
Dear Rob,
I just want to add my voice of thank you for coming out to SF and keynoting our event. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and you moved that audience. It is such a difficult task and you were able to make that large ballroom into an intimate setting. Your compassion and dedication to the issue was felt by all. I just hope you’ll come back!.
Thank you again.

Another heartfelt testimonial from Donna Martire Miller, CEO of Happily Ever Actions
I was invited to hear Rob Davis speak in New York City at a fundraising convention held for the prevention of child abuse. At the time, he was the CEO of Hedge funds Cares, www.HFC.org, an organization he founded that supported nonprofit agencies throughout the U.S., Cayman Islands, Canada, U.K. & Hong Kong that helped these children and their families. I was the Executive Director of one of those agencies and received Rob’s support for several years.
Rob is someone who commands attention when he enters a room and is sincere and engaging when he speaks. His voice is warm and trustworthy and his words demonstrate his knowledge and authority.
When he finished his keynote, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room and he received a standing ovation. I left motivated and energized by his sincerity, warmth, appreciation and knowledge. Rob is a wonderful public speaker; he gets right to the heart of the matter with complete authenticity. I look forward to hearing him speak again.

Rob delivering the Keynote Address at the “Services for the Underserved”
Gala at Windows on the World
Rob is a powerful and engaging speaker.
Rob was a Public Speaking and Theatre Arts major in college and has performed on the stage in many college and community theater productions. He was also a professional dancer, appearing on stage and in variety shows on TV. His father and mother were professional actors and Rob and his sisters required from an early age to give standing presentations on their daily activities.
Perhaps because of that and his dancing training from an early age, comfort on his feet and in front of an audience has always been a natural for Rob. Since founding Hedge funds Care/Help For Children – www.HFC.org in 1998 to raise funds for organizations dedicated to preventing and treating child abuse (see more on the Philanthropy Tab), Rob has had countless speaking opportunities before audiences from single digits to over fifteen hundred. He says that the size of the audience is of little difference to him.
He loves the process and the experience, no matter the size of the audience, and each talk he gives is an opportunity to move someone to be a more caring person.

Rob Giving the Keynote Address at Windows On The World
I remember receiving a phone call in the late 90’s from Rob Davis about creating a non-profit organization within the financial services industry to raise money for the prevention and treatment of abused children. As an attorney, I had experience in the non-profit area and agreed to assist Rob. I even suggested the organization’s initial name, Hedge Funds Care! It has since also been branded as Help For Children, in both cases www.HFC.org.. Since then, under Rob’s terrific leadership and now others as well, HFC has become a global force for good, helping thousands of children and families each year. As a Board Member from the start I have had the opportunity to hear Rob speak on behalf of HFC many times to audiences large and small, articulating it’s aims and goals articulately and compellingly. I’ll conclude, that Rob is an excellent speaker!
