Reflections on the journey
The past has a way of telling us who we are – and who we can’t be.
But what if it doesn’t get the final say?
In An Evening with Rob Parsons, we invite you to step into the untold stories from Rob’s lifetime of overcoming obstacles, letting go of childhood labels and discovering that the past doesn’t have to define us.
You’ll hear about …
- Building confidence to move past the labels others put on you
- Finding hope beyond shattered dreams
- Enduring the hard times you just can’t fix
- Being inspired to take on new challenges
- Why tomorrow doesn’t have to be like yesterday

Speaker
Rob Parsons, OBE, is the founder of Care for the Family. Having previously been a partner at a legal practice, he has now spoken to more than a million people throughout his career, and authored nearly 30 books including his latest best-seller, A Knock at the Door.
Rob has been married to Dianne for over 50 years, and together they have two children and five grandchildren. To relax, they watch reruns of Vera and love to walk their dog Winnie, who has given them more hassle than all the kids and grandchildren combined.

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,’ and the teacher who said even his best wasn’t good enough.
Yet with the help of the people who believed he could be more, he learnt how to grow through the challenges of life.
Join Rob on a journey through the decades as he reflects on a life mixed with laughter and tears, and draws on vivid stories from childhood, right through to the present day.
He’ll tap into a wealth of experience to help us make the best of our circumstances, gifts, opportunities – and perhaps most of all – our relationships.
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.
Whether you’re 16 and leaving school or 65 and heading for retirement, this event is for everyone! From relationships to work, study to home life, and finances to mental wellbeing, Rob has learnt many lessons from life that will help you whatever stage you’re at.
Settle in for an evening of storytelling. No audience participation, no pressure – just space to listen and reflect.
