Rob Shanahan Keynote Speaker, World Renown Music Photographer Entrepreneur

It’s visual. It’s musical. It’s motivational.
It’s an experience your audience will never forget.

Is your audience ready for more than just inspiration?

They're craving transformation.

They need a story that moves them, and a message that equips them.

I deliver keynotes that help you:

• Reignite passion

• Lead effectively

• Get inspired, become inspiring

My message is built on decades of experience as a photographer to the rock stars, capturing intimate moments with legends like Ringo Starr, Sheila E., and Keith Richards.

Through my lens, I witness firsthand the courage, creativity, and resilience that propel the world's biggest music icons to the top.

But my stage presence isn’t about celebrity — it’s about what high performers can teach us.

Drawing from these powerful observations, I developed the ICONS framework, giving audiences tools to empower them with my "daily axioms":

These are the same principles I’ve seen power iconic careers—and they’re the same principles that will drive your audience to take action long after the applause.

Signature Talk Outcomes:

Re-energized and reconnected to their purpose
Equipped with real, actionable strategies

I'm here to give your audience not just inspiration, but practical, actionable tools to live with more purpose and courage.

Ready to equip your audience with the ICONS framework and spark lasting change?
