An Evening with Rob Parsons - Bristol

From the boy described as ‘making no use of what little ability he has,’ to an international best-selling author and speaker, Rob Parsons has a lifetime’s experience of overcoming obstacles.

He recalls the time when his father told him, ‘People like us don’t become lawyers,’ the teacher who said his best was never good enough, and the day it seemed his marriage may be over.

Yet with the help of the people who believed he could be more, he discovered the strength to step out of the boxes he was put in and face each challenge head-on.

Perhaps you too have had people put limits on your potential, struggled with the fear of failure or been knocked back by disappointments.

In An Evening with Rob Parsons, we invite you to pull up a chair and settle in for a poignant night of storytelling that will reawaken your purpose and stay with you long after you head home.

You’ll hear about:

• Escaping from imposter syndrome
• Finding hope beyond shattered dreams
• Avoiding the labels others put on you
• Enduring the hard times you just can’t fix
• Why tomorrow doesn’t have to be like yesterday
