Robert Paris is internationally recognized as a pioneer in applying the principles of neuroscience to leadership, performance, and human development.

In 2024, the Institute of Neuroscience and a distinguished panel of business and thought leaders awarded him international recognition and the rare designation of Master Neuroplastician — a certification held by only a select group worldwide.

Robert is also the author of the groundbreaking book You vs. Your Brain – Reclaiming Your Identity, a powerful courtroom-style exploration of how the brain often works against us and how individuals can reclaim their authentic selves. His work has inspired audiences and readers across the globe to challenge limiting beliefs, reframe old patterns, and unlock new potential.

As the Mental Training Coach for a professional NHL team, Robert has brought his expertise in neuroplasticity and performance psychology to the highest level of competitive sport. His work has helped elite athletes strengthen resilience, sharpen focus, and build the mental toughness required to perform under pressure — skills equally vital for leaders in business, government, and beyond.

Through his RENEW© process, Robert has helped transform the lives of people across five continents, equipping leaders, athletes, and teams to think more clearly, connect more authentically, and perform at higher levels with meaning and fulfillment. When applied to teams, RENEW© has proven to be one of the most powerful bonding and performance-enhancing processes available — leading to breakthrough collaboration, resilience, and winning results.

Robert brings more than 15 years of corporate leadership experience, including senior management roles at blue-chip companies such as Johnson & Johnson. This foundation has enabled him to design and deliver leadership, coaching, team-building, and innovation programs for organizations such as Cirque du Soleil, IMS Health, Forensic Technology Inc., Xstrata Nickel, ICAO, Hypertec Group, Phi Group, Hitek Logistic, Fednav, and many more. He also designed and facilitated the original global leadership training program for the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil.
