CONSULTING
Bridging The Gap Between Diverse Groups NASA
|
A forum series intended to bring together NASA scientist, politicians, and targeted members of the general public was not achieving the desired results. Robert's solution was a "we-gotta-get-'em-to-come-before-we-can-preach-to-'em" approach. Robert mixed high profile personalities with NASA "stars". The result was standing-room-only, global television coverage, and front page headlines for what had previously been a mundane NASA educational event. |

A national TV broadcaster, a senior NASA scientist and a superstar helped propel this NASA event to "walking on the moon" status. Hugh Downs, Rick Chappell and Naomi Judd joined with Robert to make NASA's star brighter.
