Summary

I help organisations navigate complex change and transformation by blending 20+ years of global consulting experience with a human-centred, energy-based approach.

My work spans global business transformations across the USA, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, where I’ve led multicultural teams and advised organisations on leadership, culture, and resilience.

I’m comfortable bringing both proven methodologies (e.g. Prosci ADKAR, PMI project management) and specific human-centred practices that strengthen trust, relationships, and adaptability.

What sets my work apart is a dual perspective:

  • Linear — proven tools, frameworks, and methodologies that ensure clarity and accountability.
  • Non-linear — innovative, nature-inspired and energy-based approaches (through The NeO Frequency) that open new pathways when challenges seem unsolvable.

This combination allows organisations to move beyond “managing change” into actually transforming how they work, lead, and grow. What people say (related to [link]

Yaheli Hernandez - Project Management (PhD) - Lonza, Switzerland The workshop Energy@work! was a deeply moving and thought-provoking experience. Robert Slob brings not only a wealth of professional experience but also a warmth and depth that instantly connect with people. His presence filled the room with calm, curiosity, and authenticity; inviting everyone to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. It awakened a sense of coherence many of us didn't know we had lost. Through stories of transformation and his profound connection with nature, Robert offers insights that go beyond professional growth; with a more holistic approach. A truly inspiring workshop that left many of us reflecting long after it ended. More than a workshop, Energy@Work felt like a recalibration—tuning us into a deeper frequency of purpose, presence, and relational intelligence.

Andreas Erdei - Regional IT Manager APAC Jacob Douwe Egberts, Singapore “Partnering with Floris Robert Slob has been unlike any coaching I’ve experienced. As Regional IT Manager APAC for a global FMCG company in Singapore, I was looking for guidance on navigating complexity and leading teams through constant change. What I discovered was far deeper. Robert's Custom Advisory guided me to access an inner clarity and resilience that transformed the way I show up as a leader. His unique blend of strategic insight and energetic presence shifted my approach from pushing for results to leading from a place of grounded focus and authentic connection. The impact has been both tangible in the business and profoundly personal. Working with Robert and The NeO Frequency has not only elevated my leadership — it has expanded my way of being.”

Kofi Nyamekye - CFO Interhyve Systems Sàrl, Switzerland "I've known Floris Robert Slob for years through our shared passion for cold water dipping. Over time, I watched his fascinating professional evolution from SAP Project Manager through Change Management and Coaching, ultimately crystallizing into what he now calls 'energy intelligence'.​ I'll be honest: I struggled to understand how this would translate into actionable business insights.

​The Challenge Nobody Talks About During our cold water sessions, Robert would excitedly share theories about organizational energy, flow states, and systemic coherence. While his enthusiasm was infectious, I couldn't bridge the gap between these concepts and the reality of running a business.

When he proposed an Energy Intelligence Assessment for our organization, I faced a real challenge: How do you convince a pragmatic senior management team to invest in measuring something as abstract as "organizational energy"? I found myself trying to explain concepts I didn't fully understand to colleagues who would inevitably ask, "What's the ROI on measuring energy?"

The Moment Everything Changed Then Robert delivered his presentation. He opened with a rugby analogy, the All Blacks versus the Springboks, describing how the South African team's energy alignment after halftime completely transformed their performance. Suddenly the abstract became concrete. My colleagues leaned forward. They were seeing what I'd struggled to articulate: energy isn't mystical; it's the invisible force that drives execution, alignment, and sustainable performance.

What Followed Was Rigorous The Energy Intelligence Index assessment was sophisticated, surveying leadership, middle management, employees, and external stakeholders across seven measurable dimensions with weighted scores, alignment penalties, and coherence measurements. This wasn't vague "energy work." It was structured organizational analysis.

The Validation That Convinced Me The assessment results aligned remarkably with insights from a leadership retreat we'd conducted two months earlier. The key areas Robert highlighted matched exactly what had dominated our retreat discussions. But here's what made the difference: the Energy Intelligence Index reframed these organizational challenges through an energy lens—showing us not just what needed to change, but why these issues were creating systemic blockages and affecting our capacity for sustainable performance.

From Skeptic to Advocate What transformed me wasn't feel-good theory but practical insights. The assessment provided a clear roadmap with specific actions and measurable outcomes. The idea of maintaining both traditional dashboards and an "energy dashboard" now seems essential, not optional. My difficulty explaining the concept initially stemmed from my own incomplete understanding. Energy intelligence isn't about wellness initiatives—it's about measuring and optimizing the organizational dynamics that determine whether your strategy actually gets executed effectively.

The Lesson for Leaders Watching Robert's evolution taught me something about following unconventional insights. What seemed like a risky career pivot proved to be the development of a genuinely valuable business tool. For any leader intrigued by concepts they can't quite explain to their teams: trust that instinct. Sometimes the most practical insights come from measuring what traditional metrics miss.

The Energy Intelligence Index gave us language, structure, and actionable data for conversations we desperately needed about alignment, coherence, and sustainable growth.
