JonRobert was engaging, thought-provoking, and effective. His style worked great for our National Marketing and Communications cohort. He presented the content in a way that capitalized on inherent human behaviors and connected them to Stand-specific examples in the areas of message framing and voter turnout.

What an impact JonRobert made with his presentation. Delivered superbly to a diverse audience, he was able to explain many gems around messaging that everyone could grasp, engage with and use. His ideas will certainly be incorporated to enhance our future message framing!

Damian Leonard, Marketing Manager Ronald McDonald House Charities UK

I had the chance to attend the Five Principles of Influence preview course, and I was blown away by how intentionally the experience was designed. JonRobert doesn’t just teach ideas—he builds a bridge from principle to practice. Whether it was the psychology of strategic communication, loss aversion, framing, or the behavioral roots of influence, he offered a clear conceptual starting point, walked us through real-world applications, and layered in stories and research that made it all stick. One of the most fascinating moments was when he broke down why liberals and conservatives frame values so differently—nuanced, evidence-based, and deeply relevant to how we influence across divides. But beyond the content, it’s JonRobert’s facilitation style that stands out. He brings clarity without oversimplifying, invites insight without overwhelming, and shares knowledge with both humility and depth. If you’re trying to create behavior change, shape better outcomes, or simply communicate more powerfully—this course is a must.

In this illuminating keynote, JonRobert attempts to review some of the most prominent theories in political psychology regarding what "fundamentally" separates liberals and conservatives, and discusses their implications for how the groups think, decide, and interact.
