A keynote your audience will still be discussing on Monday.
Rodney connects with the audience, and educates and motivates leaders to pursue Relationships on Purpose™.
Relationships on Purpose: Building Stronger Business Relationships to Drive Outstanding Results
Engaging current and prospective clients — and influencing key stakeholders — has never been more important, or more challenging. This session blends proven techniques, compelling anecdotes, audience interaction, academic research, and quick, practical exercises. Attendees learn how to start, build, reverse, and reactivate the relationships that drive revenue — and leave with a repeatable way of thinking they can apply the very next day.
Keynotes are 20-50 minutes, include a few short videos, and audience participation.
Four things they take back to the desk.
Named tools, not vague advice.
Rodney's sessions are built on a concrete method your audience can name and repeat.
Rodney's core model for building deep, sustained relationships on purpose.
How trust is actually built — in drops — and lost in buckets, and how to earn it authentically.
The listening and preparation habits that separate the people everyone wants to work with.
Tailored to your audience — because that's the whole point.
Help members and exhibitors turn a show into lasting business. Ideal as a pre-show workshop for exhibitors, or an emerging-leaders / professional-development session.
Give a sales organization a shared language and repeatable habits for closing bigger and holding key accounts.
Help partners and client-facing teams (wealth management, legal, accounting, architecture, engineering) deepen the relationships that win and keep clients.
The work starts long before he takes the stage.
The thing organizers mention most isn't the delivery — it's the preparation. Rodney learns your company, interviews your attendees, and tailors the message to the roles in the room, so what people hear is built for them.
“He does such a great job of preparing and doing his homework about who's going to be in the audience — he even interviewed a few attendees. Our workshop attendance doubled.”
“Keynoters can leave the impression of canned content where the speaker just shows up. Rodney's pre-game work was second to none. When the big day arrived, we were not disappointed.”
Hear it from an organizer.
“His keynote was one of our top-ranking sessions, and his breakout was the highest-rated of the entire event — 4.7 out of 5. He ranked right up next to our opening keynote, a Harvard professor.”
