ABOUT
Dr. Steve, as some call him, considers himself a life-long student of human behavior. For him, any individual or organizational issue, whether it's changing a habit, building trust or leading in the midst of change and uncertainty begins with understanding some things about human behavior and the brain.
His life experiences and academic background in communication science, social psychology, and cognitive neuroscience create the foundation on which he crafts his talks and workshops. That science-based foundation guides his work and allows him multiple perspectives as he works with individuals and organizations on the journey of continuous improvement and high performance.
An inspirational speaker and workshop facilitator, he engages and captivates audiences all over the world (in-person and virtually) with his compelling stories and keen insight into human behavior. His presentation style has been described as a mix of Bill Nye the Science Guy, Saturday Night Live and The Big Bang Theory. Yeah, learning about one's self and others can and should be fun!
SPEAKING
What do you get when you combine a human behavioral scientist, a master storyteller, and someone who genuinely thinks science should be fun? You get Dr. Steve L. Robbins — and audiences never forget it.
Dr. Steve holds a doctorate in communication science with deep roots in social psychology and cognitive neuroscience. But don't let that fool you into expecting a dry lecture. He makes the brain science of human behavior so clear — and so entertaining — that people leave not just informed, but changed.
Dr. Steve helps audiences close the gap between how people intend to show up and how they actually show up. His Ancient Brain/Modern Brain model gives audiences an immediately intuitive lens for understanding why smart, well-intentioned people still get in their own way — and organizations often find themselves using the terms long after Dr. Steve has left the building.
For more than two decades Dr. Steve has worked with organizations like Coca-Cola, Disney, Microsoft, NASA, Walmart, Toyota, Michelin, Amazon, Ford, and the NBA on creating high performance environments where the human brain can perform at its best. These and many other organizations bring Dr. Steve in…and back — for the staying power of what he presents AND how he presents.
His signature framework, the HERO Skills — Humility, Empathy, Reflection, and Open-Mindedness — gives leaders and teams a practical, science-grounded path to better decisions, stronger relationships, and the kind of culture where people actually want to show up. His 3R's of Intentional Behavior—Recognition, Reflection, and Response—are a mental operating system for navigating life’s Behavioral Action Moments (BAMs). They help people pause, think, and respond mindfully rather than react mindlessly.
Whether he's on stage with a Fortune 100 leadership team, a group of healthcare professionals, or thousands of front-line employees, Dr. Steve delivers the same thing: a room full of people who laugh, think hard, and leave inspired with something real to use at work and home.
