What do CEOs say about Dear World?
Robert delivered the Dear World experience to more than 1,500 of Mark Benjamin’s employees during their Sales Kickoff, aligning individual stories with Nuance’s newly launched Purpose Principles through the Dear World Brain Tattoo method. He and his team also photographed participants throughout the experience, capturing portraits that reflected each individual’s connection to the company’s values. The program culminated in a powerful closing finale featuring four hand-selected Nuance employees who were coached to share personal stories tied to the Purpose Principles—bringing the organization’s values to life through authentic, peer-led storytelling.

Why Robert Does
This Work

When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Robert lost his home — and found his purpose. In the aftermath, he began photographing survivors with their stories written on their skin, turning grief into connection. That project became Dear World, a global movement that has since helped hundreds of thousands of people tell the stories that matter most. Today, Robert brings that same raw, human approach into boardrooms and ballrooms — because the work of real connection is never theoretical.
