Both online and now in person, Robert is happy to bring his unique energy, style, and research to your group for a fun, inspiring, and interactive look at the effect of improvisation, and storytelling on communication, confidence and creativity.

"It was amazing. I went through hundreds of evaluations and everybody loved his presentation."

—Annie Goyanes, Programs Coordinator

Parkinson Association of the Rockies

"The feedback was off the charts for one of the keynote speakers, Robert Cochrane. He was easy to work with, personable, and spent extra time listening to the other speakers and interacting with the attendees. His high energy and enthusiasm were amazing. His knowledge helped set the stage for a successful conference."

- Clemmie Pizzilo, Associate Director, Engagement

Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance

“It made my heart happy to see the laughter, joy, and hope that Robert’s program provided for all those who attended.  I would love for him to come back again in the future to host more workshops for the University of Maryland PD community.” 

- Christina Griffin, Clinical Division Manager University of Maryland Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center

"Robert Cochrane's keynote presentation blew us away! It was a rare treat to experience a talk that was educational, practical, AND inspirational for a diverse audience of people with Parkinson's, their family members, and the care teams that support them. Robert is a treasure, and the PD community is lucky to have him bringing hope and information to us."

- Andrea Merriam, CEO Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance
