TESTIMONIALS
He is inspirational, knowledgeable, and attentive! He takes no prisoners!
Robert Brace taught a Masterclass last year at my annual women’s conference, Leading Women Defined (LWD) in Miami. In a short 90 minutes, he focused on the importance of self-care and showed us great exercise routines. After that class, the women were clamoring to have individual instruction by Robert in NYC.

Three Words: Inspirational, Insightful, and Impactful.
Robert’s Discover Mindfulness workshop was just what my team needed for our company’s Thrive-Wellness day. His humorous approach to storytelling and ability to connect with an audience left my team motivated, ready to take action and they’re still thanking me today! He is a true master of his craft. Thank you Robert Brace!

Our team hired Robert Brace to lead a workout session at ColorComm’s 5th Annual Conference in Maui, Hawaii and we couldn’t have been more thrilled to welcome him to our community and lead a session with hundreds of women from across the country. We felt lucky to work with him and our attendees are still talking about how motivated, empowered, and inspired by him.”

Robert Brace presented a health and wellness workshop for the Women’s Leadership Network of the Guardian Life Insurance Company in New York. The workshop was fun, informative, and insightful. Robert is a fabulous motivational speaker and expert in the field of health and fitness. He is generous with his time and willing to share his expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend Robert’s speaking services to others
