Robert Greene is a bestselling author and internationally sought-after keynote speaker known for his deep insights into human behaviour, power, and strategy. As the author of six New York Times bestsellers, including The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, and Mastery, he draws upon historical figures, personal experience, and wide-ranging research to examine the mechanics of influence and leadership. Currently working independently, Robert continues to deliver talks and workshops globally, offering expert guidance on topics such as How to Be a Master of Persuasion and Influence, Unleashing the Power of Mastery and Creativity, and Navigating the Machiavellian World of Internal Politics.
Greene’s path to literary prominence was unconventional. He held over 80 jobs before publishing his first book, including roles as a construction worker, translator, magazine editor, and Hollywood screenwriter. These diverse experiences contributed to his nuanced understanding of human psychology and the often ruthless nature of power dynamics. While working as a writer at a media company, Greene pitched the idea for The 48 Laws of Power—a book that would eventually sell millions of copies and become a cult classic among leaders, creatives, and strategists. His co-authored book, The 50th Law with rapper 50 Cent also helped bridge the gap between street smarts and traditional strategic thinking.
In recent years, Greene has solidified his influence with the publication of The Laws of Human Nature, widely regarded as his most comprehensive work on understanding people. His work has been referenced in business schools, military strategy circles, and political analysis. He has served on the board of directors for American Apparel and worked as a strategic consultant for global clients ranging from athletes and musicians to CEOs and government figures. His books continue to appear on bestseller lists and have been translated into dozens of languages, further cementing his global relevance.
Greene’s keynotes are powerful, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant in today’s competitive, often chaotic world. He teaches audiences how to master influence without manipulation, tap into their full creative potential, and navigate complex internal politics with intelligence and strategy. Companies and individuals hire him not just for his intellectual depth, but because his lessons are immediately actionable and rooted in real-world experience. His speaking topics resonate with anyone aiming to lead, influence, or thrive in high-pressure environments.
