Helping high-achieving leaders unlock their highest levels of performance | World-Renowned Leadership Coach | TEDx Speaker | Top 100 Most Dynamic Leader | Podcast Host | Former College Athlete

Rob doesn’t coach average people. He works exclusively with high-performing individuals ready to shatter limits, rewrite their inner narratives, and scale new peaks fast.

With a foundation in elite performance and a global coaching footprint, Rob brings unmatched depth and velocity to personal transformation. Whether he’s coaching C-suite leaders, Olympic gold
medalists, or rising entrepreneurs, Rob unlocks breakthrough results that stick. In his world, success isn’t surface-level–it’s internal, behavioral, and lasting.

Rob’s background is as rigorous as his coaching style. He’s an MIT-trained engineer, a former NCAA Academic All-American, and an athlete who represented Canada on the national water polo team. But
it’s his intuitive precision, grounded emotional intelligence, and no-BS approach that make his sessions catalytic. Many clients experience measurable breakthroughs in their very first session.

He’s coached the CIO of IDEO through a high-stakes job transition resulting in speaking invites at top tier conferences like Fast Company’s Innovation Festival and Web Summit’s Collision. 

He’s helped a once-stagnant $3M business scale to $11M in six months. He’s guided top executives from founders to gold medal Olympians out of paralysis and into peak performance.
His impact has been recognized on global stages, including a high impact TEDx talk in Kumamoto, Japan, addressing Japan’s devastating workplace suicide epidemic.

That feeling of "I want to achieve... the gold medal, the corner office, 10 million in revenue..." rings hollow once you get there.

An Olympic gold medalist said it lasted about as long as it took to put the medal around her neck. High achievers often feel this. The key is figuring out who you truly are.  Once you understand yourself and what you love, that's where you want to go and stay.

Get truer to yourself, and let the perceptions go away. #HighAchievers #SelfDiscovery #PersonalGrowth #Motivation #InnerPeace

“I could be Jeff Bezos right now and it wouldn't change how I feel. I need a win like a breath of air.”

I said that to my therapist a few years ago.

It was the moment I realized I was trapped by the Success Lie.  The belief that the next milestone, the next acquisition, or the next promotion will finally make us feel "enough."

But for high-achievers, that finish line is a ghost. Every win is just a momentary hit of relief before the internal hunger returns, demanding another "breath of air."

In the latest edition of my newsletter, I’m breaking down my conversation with Rob Fleischman on how to dismantle this cycle. We dive into the "brutal" MIT culture that wires us for this relentless drive and the neuroscience of moving from Hunger to Mastery.

Inside this week’s podcast:

🧠 Why your brain prefers the "Hard Way" even when it’s breaking you.
🎭 How to recognize the "Frozen Mask" of leadership.
🛤️ The specific pivot that turns a high-stakes career into a life of purpose.

If you’re tired of the grind and ready for a life of mastery, you don’t want to miss this one.

You can be Jeff Bezos and still feel like this...

Finding joy and fulfillment often comes from contributing to something larger than ourselves.

While we may not all have the resources of a Melinda Gates, even small acts of philanthropy can bring immense satisfaction. Helping others in times of crisis and working towards a better world creates a deep sense of purpose.

Deliberately choosing activities that bring joy allows us to experience a richer, more fulfilling life. #Philanthropy #GivingBack #PurposeDrivenLife #MakingADifference

A car that learns you?  How you drive, your habits, your favorite destinations and looks incredible?  Check out this week's show where Kristie D'Ambrosio-Correll joins me to talk about the incredible AI powered ultra-luxury cars from Dacora Motors, leadership and MIT.

We’ve spent our careers learning how to master machines. At MIT, we were grilled on how to force systems to do what we wanted through sheer technical

A Car that Learns You? The end of the Hard Way

Shocking?

6 Super Bowl titles as a head coach. 2 as a DC. A literal architect of the modern game.

And yet, Bill Belichick was rejected from the Hall of Fame on his first ballot.
If you’re a high-achiever, this should be a wake-up call.

Have you ever seen less qualified people getting promoted over you? 
Have you watched someone get the raise you earned because they’re "well-liked" by the C-suite? 
Have you seen your dream opportunity go to the hiring manager’s friend who has half your experience?

The Belichick snub isn't an anomaly. It happens every day in corporate.

The reality is brutal: In high-stakes environments, results are just the entry fee.

Your dream job doesn't go to the person who works the hardest. It goes to the person who has mastered the internal politics and the art of influence.

Your raise doesn't go to the "quiet achiever." It goes to the person who knows how to make their value impossible to ignore.

This is why I coach my clients on Power & Influence strategies.  People who win don't do it by accident.  They use a system.

No, you don’t have to become a "politician." But you do have to stop believing the lie that "hard work speaks for itself."

The work doesn't speak. You do.

If you’re tired of being the best-kept secret in your industry, it’s time to change your operating system.

I help technical leaders and executives dismantle the "work hard and people will notice" lie and take what they’ve earned.

Stop waiting for the Hall of Fame to call. Build your own stadium.

DM me "POWER" and I will send you a free tool to get you started.

Imagine a car that adapts to you. In 6 months, your car could learn your routines, preferences, and even who you spend time with, creating a personalized driving experience.

Traveling becomes seamless, feeling like a local wherever you go. The car guides you to hidden gems and familiar spots, bridging the gap between tourist and resident.
