Stop Barking and Start Leading with Robb Hiller

Our Program on May 6^th was presented by Robb Hiller, a member and past president of the Eden Prairie Rotary Club. The title of his talk, “Stop Barking and Start Leading,” is also the title of his recently-published book.

His talk began with him introducing us, via Power Point, to the family dog, Barkley, a British Labrador. Robb said that his dog’s behavior patterns helped organize his thoughts to put together the book in just 5 months. His work is in the human relations field, and he contracts with companies to help maximize the use of their employees’ strong points. He shows his clients how to know your personnel so that you get them connecting with their work and winning in the marketplace.

He gave us 5 rules from his book that do the job of maximizing return:

1.  Know your God-given talents.      2.  Be who you are.

3.  Unleash your talents.           4.  Shake it off and “pick up your poop”.

5.  Be a guide for others.
