Rob DuBois is the founder and lead Impact Coach of the “whole-person development” firm, Impact Actual. He is also a multilingual, retired U.S. Navy SEAL, intelligence professional, and career Red Team security leader. He has worked in more than 30 countries over more than 30 years. In 1986, Rob underwent Russian language and culture training for service with the National Security Agency, NSA. After ten years working out of Maryland, a multinational base in Northern Turkey, and Hawaii, he transitioned to SEAL training. From 1996 to 2006, Rob served as a special reconnaissance SEAL at SDV Team ONE in Hawai’i and as a Red Team operator based in Washington, DC. He has trained foreign forces in a dozen nations and has planned mock terrorist attacks against American interests worldwide. On 9/11 Rob was teaching Arab commandos at a remote Persian Gulf base. American and Arab SEALs together watched the Towers collapse, and both nations went to war against al Qaeda. Such complex experiences led to his first book on cross-cultural conflict, “Powerful Peace: A Navy SEAL's Lessons on Peace from a Lifetime at War.” Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis emailed Rob about Powerful Peace to say, “You’ve written a masterful work ... you did expand my perspective.” World-renowned peak performance expert Tony Robbins called Powerful Peace, "A must-read for all, but especially those who wish to influence others." Rob has spoken extensively on television, radio, and in keynote talks across the United States on “unchaining” human potential and leading powerful teams.
