More Clients. More Money. More Peace.

If your revenue is dry, it’s not because your offer isn’t good...it’s because you’re hiding.

Sales is math and your visibility avoidance has broken the equation: leaving money, clients, and peace on the table.

Strength On Stages is designed to get you visible to attract aligned clients and create consistent sales.

He has such a gift for bringing out the best in people. He truly knows the questions to ask and how to get you to bring, to surface your best qualities so that you can serve the world in the way that you are supposed to serve the world.”

Reflection working with us

“I hope to use my story to stand on big stages unapologetically and remind women that they are human beings first. I want to give them permission, not that they need it, to remember they have goals and dreams, and that they are fully capable of making those dreams come true.”

–Julie Voris

What Clients Say About Telling Their Story

“Working with Robert has opened up the possibilities for me—of playing bigger, not making myself small, and playing big for big stages. I've been giving speeches for free as an in-demand speaker for many, many years—I now realize that I can go out and do this on my own and not wait to be asked. I can ask to speak.”

“Strength on stages is self-love. It is self-empowerment, confidence that you have something valuable to say and to offer that will help someone else and be of value and that will affirm and validate someone else.”

–Sandy Broadus

Meet Your Coach, Robert

I’ve coached 150 entrepreneurs through Strength On Stages – helping them craft, rehearse, and professionally produce their Signature Stories so they land paid speaking opportunities, press, and aligned clients. 

I’ve guided thousands of entrepreneurs to six- and seven-figure profits through my coaching programs, built two multi-seven-figure businesses, sold a TV series to Oprah, and helped leaders like you step into the success they crave.

I am the host and executive producer of Breaking New Ground, co-produced by the Oprah Winfrey Network and HGTV, now streaming on MAX. I graduated from the University of Michigan’s Musical Theatre Department and have performed in five Broadway shows and two National Tours.

In 2016, I founded The Broadway Collective to help the next generation of performers take their dreams to the stage. In 2022, I launched Strength On Stages – now recognized as the premier storyselling training program for entrepreneurs.

My story of purchasing a 200-year-old colonial mansion – a home built when slavery was still legal in the U.S. – went viral, reaching millions who resonated with my message of reinvention, liberation, and hope. I also starred in Pharrell and Jay-Z’s hit single Entrepreneur, dancing in front of my historic home – because legacy matters.

As a Black gay man, I vowed to fill this home with love, honor my ancestors, tell their stories, and say their names.

When I’m not coaching entrepreneurs, you’ll find me obsessing over NPR, crafting the perfect La Marzocco latte, and dusting my 21 chandeliers. I split my time between New York City and my historic home in Massachusetts – where every day is a reminder that when you tell your story miracles happen.

In 2026, I will be a mainstay judge on Hulu’s new design reality competition series That Thrifting Show alongside Good Morning America’s Lara Spencer.

Long story short: you won’t find a more qualified coach to guide you to success when it comes to visibility and storyselling.
