Step into the untold stories from Rob’s lifetime of overcoming obstacles and discovering that the past doesn't have to define us.
About this Event

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.

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
