Rob Peck is the founder of Zestworks, a speaking, training, and consulting firm whose core philosophy is to make content come alive by linking lessons with laughter. Rob graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (Phi Beta Kappa) and Ringling Brothers Clown College ("Magna Cum Looney"!). He received the International Juggler's Association's "Excellence in Education Award" and was a featured guest on Donahue.

Rob's guiding principle is that high spirits mean low attrition. His novel use of juggling (literally and figuratively) immediately strikes a universal chord that cuts across all age and gender barriers. In Peck's nimble hands juggling becomes both a metaphor for how to deal with lots of "balls" in the air -- and still stay focused... and a hands-on training tool that helps participants hone their concentration and heighten their sense of humor.

As a speaker, trainer, and consultant, Peck has helped thousands of multi-tasking professionals re-discover a life-balance which links learning with laughter and frees them to have less stress and more zest at work .... and at home.

From Harvard to Hewlett Packard, ZESTWORKS creatively customized programs have sparked the fresh thinking and fertile collaborations that help leaders and teams stay focused, stay flexible (and stay together) in a high trust, winning organization.

• Keeping All The Balls In The Air - How To Raise The Bar by Thinking Outside The Box : Busy professionals are increasingly challenged to do a kind of juggling act where they balance their attention between several pressing demands, yet never lose track of the big picture and still keep their eye on the ball. But "All work and no play..." NO WAY! Effective innovation combines a spirit of fun with a sense of purpose that brings out the best in people. Good morale fuels team chemistry, lifts energy levels, lowers burnout, reduces attrition and raises performance. The path to truly exceptional products and services has 4 compass points: imagination, empathy, resourcefulness and resilience. Nothing helps us bounce back quicker than a good laugh. Honing a good sense of humor heightens our capacity to envision ourselves in another's shoes-and strengthens our ability to respond to problems with "Plan B's" that result in more creative solutions and more loyal customers.
