Robbie Crabtree spent the first eight years of his career as a trial lawyer. He tried 102 jury trials. This experience helped him take what he learned to coach the national mock trial team at SMU Law School.
But he wanted to share what he was learning with others.

So he founded Performative Speaking to share what he had learned as a trial lawyer for founders and entrepreneurs in the startup and technology world. Over the past few years, he’s worked with hundreds of founders, helped clients raise millions of dollars, and run his course for more than 300 people.
He believes that you have a story inside of you. It’s one worth sharing, and it can change the world.

Dr. Hannes Leroy - Walking Our Evidence-Based Talk

Send us a text

Dr. Hannes Leroy is interested in authentic leadership and how to develop it. That interest includes not only a passionate and critical view of the concept of authenticity but his past work also includes a better understanding of its unique outcomes (e.g., safety, error hiding and work engagement), antecedents (e.g., mindfulness training), and similarities and differences from related concepts (i.e., leader behavioral integrity, leader communication transparency). On the development side he is passionate about authenticity both in terms of developing leaders to use their unique or authentic self as a source of their leadership strength as well as the idea of real (i.e., actually moving the needle) leadership development.
