Rob Hamill’s presentations offer a compelling mix of laugh-out-loud humour, inspiration, and thought-provoking anecdotes. As a marathon rowing champion with 16 years of international rowing experience, Rob has achieved numerous accolades, including a World Championship silver, Commonwealth gold, and a world record on the indoor rowing machine.
Rob’s presentations are built around themes of ambitious goal-setting, teamwork, and overcoming adversity, drawn from his multiple campaigns in the Atlantic Rowing Race. His powerful account of following his brother Kerry's journey into Cambodia's Khmer Rouge genocide, as featured in the acclaimed documentary Brother Number One, adds a profound layer of tenacity, hope, love, and the vital human freedom to choose one's attitude and response to any situation.
Rob's latest adventure is perhaps his most challenging and rewarding yet: sailing around the world with his wife and three sons. This journey, expected to take two to four years, is documented in The Cruising Kiwis vlog.
