Rob Pyne

Fascinated by the way we think and make decisions

Rob Pyne’s background on leadership, strategy, management and entrepreneurship – combined with a degree in psychology – has led to a fascination with how people think, how they make decisions, and how we can do it better.

His talks bring psychological insights to the workplace. He’ll inspire you to change the way you think, the way you behave and the way you work.

After an award-winning career in marketing and strategy roles in multinational companies, in 2013 Rob founded Realizer - the first Australian company to specialise in helping leaders improve their decision-making through training and coaching.

Rob’s approach is based on his background in psychology – through applying some of the counter-intuitive findings about how we make decisions and how we sometimes get it wrong. Realizer has searched out, tested and invented the best tools that are proven to work for experienced leaders in real business decisions, high value negotiations – and in life.

Realizer has trained and coached hundreds of people in well-known organisations like BBC, Redkite, Johnson & Johnson, Hoyts, Yahoo!7, ABC, UNSW & the AFL as well as small and medium organisations in fields including Law, Education, Not for Profit and Marketing.
