Rob Dance

CEO & Founder of ROCK.

I started my business with just £1,000
 
(I bought a cheap van, a laptop, and a desk)
 
Today, we operate internationally
Today, we hire over 100 of the brightest minds
Today, we're an 8-figure business, on our way to 9
Today, we're launching several new start ups
Today, I work with some of the most gifted people in the world
 
But what you don't know is:
 
20 years ago, I failed my exams and dropped out of school
17 years ago, I really struggled to write a full sentence
15 years ago, I was too scared to make phone calls

So now I'm sharing my journey with you.
Daily insights to help anyone.
Let's goooooooo 🚀

CEO & Founder

After 15 years of growing my business, I realised something FUNDAMENTAL was missing.

Our unique culture and innovative ways of managing our people has always been a TOP priority for me.

So much so, I have never found the perfect software platform to manage our people operations and help my team remove the day-to-day noise so they can focus on our mission.

Then, one day, it struck me: I NEED to create this myself to help other businesses!!

And so, Ware was born.

Launching in 2025, Ware promises to transform how you build your culture and genuinely empower your team.

Ware. Everything is.

I used to think people left jobs for more money

(I was wrong)

They’re not chasing bigger paychecks.
They’re chasing peace of mind.

They leave when:

- Effort is never enough.
- Silence feels safer than honesty.
- Burnout is expected and vulnerability is a liability.

So here’s a reminder from Dan:
Retention starts with culture.

If you want to retain your best people?

Start with respect.

That means:

→ Managers who support, not shame
→ A culture where it’s safe to be honest
→ Teams that value rest as much as results

The paycheck is important, sure.
But it’s not the reason they stay.

Do you agree?

I used to think people left for better pay.

Now I know, they leave for peace of mind and basic respect.

Dan Murray and Rob Dance

If the leaders in the room aren’t saying your name when opportunities come up…

You might be in the wrong room.

Connections open doors.

But loyalty?

That’s what keeps you in the conversation when you're not there.

You want leaders who back you without needing a reminder.

The kind who:

→ Recommend you without hesitation 
→ Speak highly of you when you’re not around 
→ Say your name in rooms you haven’t entered yet

That kind of support is rare.

And you won’t notice it’s missing - until it matters most.

So, pay attention.

Watch who speaks up. 
Watch who stays quiet.

Silence from the top says more than applause from the crowd.

Do you agree?

Career growth isn’t just about learning new things.

It’s about letting go of:

- Old habits
- Old beliefs
- Old ways of doing things that once kept you safe

And that part hurts.

Especially when it’s something you’ve carried for years.

Something that used to work.
Something that once made you feel competent or in control.

But here’s the shift:

Growth happens when you're willing to unlearn.

When you’re brave enough to admit, this doesn’t serve me anymore.

And then? You relearn.

→ With humility
→ With curiosity
→ With discomfort

That’s the real work.

That’s what separates the adaptable from the stuck.

Do you agree?

Everyone talks about wanting to grow.

But setting resolutions and hoping for the best?

That won’t get you there.

Because when life pushes back, most people fold.

So think about it this way:

You said this time would be different. 
Now life’s testing whether you meant it.

That resistance? 
That discomfort you’re feeling? 
That stretch beyond what’s familiar?

That’s what growth actually looks like.

It’s not meant to be easy. 
It’s meant to break patterns.

Because real growth demands:

→ Grit 
→ Accountability 
→ Uncomfortable truth

There’s no room for excuses.

So if it’s hard right now, that’s a sign.

You’re moving. You’re changing.

You’re growing.

Do you agree?

I’ve hired hundreds of people

And here’s the truth:

Your CV gets you through the door.

But it’s how you show up every day that keeps you there.

As Eric Partaker said, it’s not about:

- Fancy titles
- Certifications
- Qualifications

It’s about:

1) How you handle the tough days.
2) How you react to unexpected setbacks.
3) How you stay composed under pressure.
4) How you adapt when the plan changes last minute.
5) How you keep pushing forward when motivation runs thin.
6) How you support your teammates when they’re struggling.
7) How you take ownership of mistakes without pointing fingers.

That’s what sticks.
That’s what people remember.

So be the person who makes things easier, not harder.

Do you agree?

Your greatest skill isn’t on your CV. It's in how you show up every day.

Be the person who makes things easier, not harder. Rob Dance and Eric Partaker.

We all say we’re too busy.

But the truth is…

Most of us just aren’t prioritising what matters.

If you took an honest look at your day last year, you’d probably find:

→ Endless scrolling 
→ Mindless procrastination 
→ Tasks that lead nowhere

The problem isn’t time.

It’s focus.

Growth doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

It happens when you show up…

- Consistently
- Deliberately

Even when it’s inconvenient.

You do have the time.

You just have to take it back from the things stealing it.

Do you agree?

No one is too busy. It's just a matter of priorities. Rob Dance.

Here’s a simple rule I live by:

If it doesn’t help you grow or feel good?

It’s not worth your time.

You don’t owe your energy to anything that drains you.

That’s not harsh.
That’s clarity.

Whether it’s:

→ A job 
→ A relationship 
→ A routine that no longer fits

You’re allowed to walk away from anything that holds you back.

Because protecting your peace isn’t a luxury.
It’s a necessity.

A quiet kind of strength that often goes unseen.

So if it’s not helping you move forward, ask yourself:

Why are you still holding on?

Do you agree?

If it doesn't being peace, progress or purpose then don't give it your time energy, or attention. Rob Dance.

Let’s be honest…

People at work will always have opinions.

– Some will question your choices. 
– Some will critique your performance. 
– Some will try to box you into a role you’ve outgrown.

But here’s the truth:

Their opinions don’t decide your value.

They never did. 
They never will.

Your competence, your potential, your worth - not up for debate.

So stop shrinking to fit someone else’s version of “professional.”

You set the standard. 
You define the path.

Not them.

Do you agree?

Your worth is not determined by anyone else's opinion. Rob Dance

Letting go isn’t failure.

It’s clarity.

You can care about the mission.

- The people
- The bigger purpose

But when the culture stops caring back?

You’re in a battle you can’t win.

You can’t outwork a system that refuses to change.

Not if leadership won’t listen. 
Not if the values on the wall mean nothing in practice.

Eventually, you realise:

→ Your time matters 
→ Your energy is limited 
→ Your passion deserves better

Leaving isn’t giving up.

It’s recognising what no longer deserves you.

Do you agree?

Sometimes you have to let go of the role. 

Not because you don't care, but because they don't. 

Rob Dance.

If peace only comes when work is perfect…

→ Your manager's happy
→ Projects go smoothly 
→ Your inbox is quiet

That’s not peace. 
That’s control.

And control never lasts.

Real growth?

It happens when you stay grounded while everything at work is in flux.

Because the truth is:

→ Deadlines shift 
→ Teams change 
→ Plans fall apart

So if you're waiting for calm to feel calm, you’ll be waiting a while.

The real challenge?

Staying grounded when nothing’s going to plan. 
That’s where growth happens.

Because peace isn’t about having a perfect week.

It’s about holding your centre when everything’s uncertain.

Do you agree?

♻️ Found this helpful? Repost to help your LinkedIn network.

If your peace depends on everything going right, it's not peace, it's control. Learn to be steady in uncertainty. That's real growth.

Biggest lesson of my career?

Stop giving more than you’re getting…

Especially when people show you that they won't return the same energy.

I learnt this the hard way:

- Burnout
- Being overlooked
- Constant overthinking

But they were there, right from the start.

I just didn’t want to believe them.

So if you’re stepping into a new space, pay attention to the red flags:

1) Overwork with no recognition
2) No room for questions or feedback
3) More competition than collaboration
4) Leaders who preach empathy but don’t live it

Trust your gut.

It will protect you peace more than anything else.

Do you agree?

Books teach you a lot.

But people?

They teach you how to lead.

→ The calm one when everything fell apart
→ The honest one when no one else would be
→ The one who made you feel like you mattered

They didn’t quote theory.
They just acted.

And that’s what stuck.

Because real leadership isn’t found in pages.

It’s found in people.

Empathy
Honesty
Presence

You learn that by watching, listening, and feeling.

So if you want to lead better?

Pay attention.

The best lessons are walking past you every day.

Fear isn’t about something being impossible…

(Despite what you may think)

It’s about stepping into the unknown.

- No clear map.
- No guarantees.

Just unfamiliar ground.

That’s uncomfortable.

But it’s not a sign you can’t do it.

Because fear doesn’t mean failure. 
It means growth is on the table.

That nervous energy?

It’s not a warning. 
It’s proof you care.

You don’t need to be 100% ready.

You just need to take the step.

Do you agree?

It's scary because it's new, not because you're incapable. - Rob Dance

The old advice?

– Do more
– Hustle harder
– Say yes to everything

But that mindset?
It’s a fast track to burnout.

Because more isn’t always the answer.

Sometimes, it’s the problem.

So instead of another to-do list, try a stop doing list.

Ask:

→ What’s draining energy I don’t have?
→ What doesn’t align with who I’m becoming?
→ What am I only doing out of habit, guilt, or fear?

Protecting boundaries starts there.

With honest answers.
And hard cuts.

Because clarity doesn’t come from cramming in more.

It comes from clearing space.

Do you agree?

Most creators post without purpose—and wonder why nobody cares.

I know, because I was one of them.

♟️ No likes.
♟️ No reach.
♟️ No revenue.

I was stuck in a cycle of creating content that disappeared into the void.

Social media isn’t about shouting—it’s about building a brand that speaks for you.

Once I built a clear message and intentional strategy, everything accelerated:

1. +4,000 followers every week
2.  1.2M+ weekly impressions
3.  A growing community of creators, founders, and executives I now mentor

What I Do Now?

I help people like you:

✅ Establish thought leadership
✅ Grow on LinkedIn and X
✅ Turn content into community and revenue

My clients are thriving—many are now some of the most beloved and successful creators on these platforms.

Your boss will impact your mental health more than your therapist.


And no one warns you about that before you accept the job. 

A study by Workforce Institute found that 69% of employees say their manager has more impact on their mental health than their therapist.

Let that sink in for a minute!! 😯

If you love your job but your boss is destroying your sanity, here's what you can do to protect yourself:

1/ Micromanagement
↳ Set boundaries. Request role clarity and define expectations on your terms.

2/ Blame-Shifting
↳ Document everything. Facts beat gaslighting.

3/ Dismissive Communication
↳ Push back. Ask directly for feedback and challenge vague criticism.

4/ Unrealistic Expectations
↳ Negotiate early. Define what's possible—and what isn't.

5/ Lack of Appreciation
↳ Celebrate yourself. Share wins with people who value you.

6/ Playing Favorites
↳ Expand your network. Build relationships with neutral mentors.

7/ Inconsistent Feedback
↳ Ask for specifics. Don't settle for "just do better."

8/ Mood Swings
↳ Stay grounded. Don't absorb their chaos—master your own calm.

9/ Undermining Confidence
↳ Zoom out. Focus on your strengths and build external validation.

10/ Discouraging Growth
↳ Take the wheel. Invest in skills and opportunities they won't give you.

If this sounds familiar, you're not crazy. You're just under poor leadership.

What's one toxic behavior you've had to unlearn from a boss?

“Some people never understand what you bring to the table until they see you at another table.” - Unknown


☑️ Most people don’t quit jobs.
☑️ They quit because they're being ignored.

If you have to project your value, if you want to be recognized.

This is what you can do to show it before you have to go somewhere else:

1/ Stop over-explaining and start over-delivering.
↳ Results speak louder than words.

2/ Don’t wait for credit—claim your contributions.
↳ Say “I led,” not “I helped.” 

3/ Communicate in outcomes, not effort.
↳ “I stayed late” won’t move the needle. “We hit 130% of goal” will.

4/ Make your wins visible without being loud.
↳ Use data. Use updates. Let leadership connect the dots.

5/ Speak up in meetings—even if your voice shakes.
↳ Silence is often mistaken for agreement—or irrelevance.

6/ Align your work with what leadership values.
↳ Don’t optimize for busy. Optimize for impact.

7/ Ask better questions, not just for answers—but for strategy.
↳ The people who shape direction aren’t afraid to challenge it.

8/ Build allies before you need advocates.
↳ Value flows faster in systems that already trust you.

9/ Learn to say no to low-impact work.
↳ Don’t confuse being valuable with being available.

10/ Act like you’re already at the next level.
↳ Leadership sees who leads before they promote.
—
If you don’t show them what you bring to the table,
don’t be surprised when they forget where you're sitting!

The worst part of a toxic boss isn't their behavior, it's how they make you doubt your worth.


Your self-worth isn't up for negotiation.

Research from the American Psychological Association shows toxic leadership directly impacts mental health, confidence, and physical well-being.

Working for a toxic manager teaches you two things:

→ How resilient you really are
→ When it's time to walk away

But it doesn't give you the roadmap to protect yourself.

Here are 10 principles to shield yourself from toxic leadership:

1/ Anchor Your Confidence
Remember your wins. Their opinion ≠ your reality.

2/ Detach Emotionally
Don't absorb their negativity. It reflects them, not you.

3/ Use the Gray Rock Method
Stay neutral. Don't feed their need for control.

4/ Document Everything
Keep records. Facts always beat opinions.

5/ Set Clear Boundaries
Say no respectfully. Toxic leaders exploit unclear limits.

6/ Build Your Inner Circle
Trusted allies = strength and perspective.

7/ Keep Growing
Develop skills. Their influence isn't permanent.

8/ Use HR Strategically
Report with evidence and solutions, not just complaints.

9/ Practice Self-Care
Protect your energy. Recharge daily.

10/ Know Your Exit Point
Peace > Paycheck. Plan your move strategically.

What's the most valuable lesson a difficult leader taught you?

“People don’t leave companies. They leave toxic leaders who treat them like replaceable parts.” - Unknown


Real leadership isn’t about being in control. It’s about being worth following.

The leadership move that feels wrong but works every time:

Give away your power. ⚡ 

It would've saved me years of confusion—and a few great employees.

Because people don't leave companies. They leave the way you make them feel.

Gallup's research backs it up: poor management is the #1 reason people quit.

Not salary. Not perks. Not titles.

Here's what changed everything for me:

10 uncommon leadership moves that build real trust, loyalty, and influence:

1/ Give Away Ownership of Ideas
↳ Let others take full credit. It builds confidence and sparks innovation.

2/ Send Unexpected Notes of Praise
↳ These moments linger longer than any formal award.

3/ Protect People Publicly
↳ Own the blame in public. Coach in private. Trust multiplies.

4/ Ask About Their Future, Not Just Performance
↳ "What's your dream role?" might be the most powerful 1:1 question.

5/ Let Them Teach
↳ Give them the mic. Confidence grows when they're trusted to lead.

6/ Create Personalized Growth Plans
↳ Cookie-cutter paths kill motivation. Tailor the roadmap.

7/ Acknowledge Emotional Labor
↳ Say, "I know how much effort this took." It matters more than you think.

8/ Celebrate Their Off-the-Clock Wins 
↳ Career isn't everything. Show them you see the whole person.

9/ Delegate Authority, Not Just Tasks
↳ Don't just assign work—grant decision power. That's leadership.

10/ Be the First to Admit You're Wrong
↳ Humility is strength. And it's contagious.

How will they remember you as a leader?

The hardest battles are fought alone — and that's exactly where champions are made.


Nobody claps for discipline. Nobody cheers for consistency. But one day, they will notice.

Show up every day to fix your life.

✅ Do it alone!
✅ Do it broke!
✅ Do it tired!
✅ Do it scared!
✅ Just do it!

Success is built in silence, long before the applause. Everyone wants recognition. Few are willing to work when no one's watching.

The truth? The results you crave are forged in lonely, unglamorous hours.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." -- Aristotle

Here are 10 principles for building success before anyone notices:

1/ Master the boring.
↳ Success isn't sexy. It's built on repetition, not fireworks.

2/ Create before you consume.
↳ Stop scrolling, start producing. Makers win, watchers fade.

3/ Protect your mornings.
↳ Your first 90 minutes shape the rest of the day. Guard them ruthlessly.

4/ Track invisible progress.
↳ Small wins compound. Measure what nobody else sees.

5/ Work in "deep focus" blocks.
↳ 2-3 uninterrupted hours of intensity beats 10 scattered ones.

6/ Say no more often.
↳ Every yes to noise is a no to mastery.

7/ Do it tired, scared, or unsure.
↳ Discipline doesn't care how you feel.

8/ Build skill, not status.
↳ Recognition comes when your craft is undeniable.

9/ Seek feedback, not applause.
↳ Growth hides in honest critique.

10/ Trust the lag.
↳ Results take time. Silence now means impact later.

Are you willing to stay invisible until your work is undeniable?

"The most expensive raise is the one you didn't give to keep your best employee."  - Emanuel Theander Pediotis


Replacing top talent is more expensive than paying your people what they're worth. 

The quote above punched me in the gut!

If you think turnover is too expensive?

Try replacing a top performer. 

According to Gallup, voluntary turnover costs U.S. businesses approximately $1 trillion per year. 

And the cost of replacing a single employee can range from ½ to 2 times that person’s annual salary.

Here’s how leaders quietly push top talent out the door—and how to stop it:

1/ Delaying well-earned raises
Top performers don’t just want more money—they deserve it. Pay them before someone else does.

2/ Assuming loyalty is unconditional
Loyalty has limits. Don’t mistake silence for satisfaction.

3/ Micromanaging instead of trusting
They don’t want to be babysat. They want autonomy—and they’ve earned it.

4/ Overloading them because they “can handle it”
They can. But they won’t forever. Capacity ≠ consent.

5/ Failing to recognize impact
If your best people feel invisible, they’ll become unavailable.

6/ Letting broken systems stay broken
Top talent won’t fight internal friction forever. Fix what slows them down.

7/ Ignoring their ideas
When smart people speak, listen. Or they’ll take their ideas elsewhere.

8/ Making raises reactive, not proactive
If the market tells you their worth before you do—you’re too late.

9/ Promoting politics over performance
Nothing makes a high performer leave faster than watching mediocrity get rewarded.

10/ Waiting until the exit interview to care
If you’re shocked, they're leaving, you weren’t paying attention.

Who’s one person on your team you’re at risk of losing right now?

How would you define discipline?


I would define it by showing up every day, not just during fair weather.

These 8 images will impact your mind with golden little nuggets of wisdom. 

Study each carefully to crush your goals. 

Here’s the lesson I learned from each: 

1. Doing it Motivated vs. Unmotivated
↳ Lesson: Discipline is showing up no matter how you feel. Consistency beats mood every time.

2. Appreciate How Far You’ve Come
↳ Lesson: Pause to celebrate your progress. Gratitude fuels resilience.

3. Easy Decisions, Hard Life | Hard Decisions, Easy Life
↳ Lesson: The tougher choices you make today build an easier tomorrow.

4. Beware of Burnout
↳ Lesson: Balance intensity with consistency. Sustainability is key to long-term growth.

5. Focus on Who You’re Becoming
↳ Lesson: Your future self-matters more than your past. Keep your attention pointed forward.

6. Your Competition: You, not other people
↳ Lesson: Comparison is the thief of joy. Your only rival is yesterday’s version of yourself.

7. Dreams Killed by Doubt vs. Failure
↳ Lesson: Fear is more destructive than failure. Trust yourself and take the first step.

8. What If I Fall? | But What If I Fly?
↳ Lesson: Focus on the possibilities, not the risks. Growth begins at the edge of fear.

These images are little reminders to embrace discipline, make intentional choices, and prioritize your journey.
