BOB GRAY BIOGRAPHY

Bob Gray, a funny motivational keynote speaker and memory expert, discovered his first memory technique when he was seven. He was given a magic book that showed him how to remember a twenty-item list. Shortly thereafter he was called on to ‘do the memory trick’ at family parties and gatherings. Encouraged by praise at home, he began to find memory techniques could have a valuable role in other aspects of his life. With a little ingenuity, he adapted the ‘memory trick’ to help him with his work at school. The reward was a significant rise in his grades.

Years later, Bob Gray immigrated to Canada from his native England. At the time he was working as an entertainer, and he had to prove to Immigration that he wasn’t taking a job away from a Canadian. As the Immigration authority quickly learned, he wasn’t taking a job away from anyone else in the world! Travelling and entertaining under the stage name of ‘Backwards Bob the Memory Man,’ Bob Gray demonstrated the unique abilities that have netted him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records and recent appearances on Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, The Steve Harvey Show, The NBC Today Show, BBC, CBC, and many more.

For the first several years after arriving in Canada, Bob Gray travelled throughout North America, appearing in Comedy Clubs, Colleges and Universities, where he demonstrated his unique abilities in front of tens of thousands of people. Soon, however, he decided to take a break from the road and entered the business world. Starting in the Fitness Industry, he quickly found that by adapting the memory techniques he had been studying and developing over the years, he was able to move ahead in his career faster than he or anyone else had expected.

From never losing track of detailed information to remembering everything about his many clients, including not only their names and occupations but also the names of their family members, their birthdays, hobbies and fitness goals, he got the job done with confidence and ease. Along with making a lot of new friends, Bob saw the sales retention of his company increase by 13% in the first year alone.

After teaching his memory techniques to his own sales staff, with highly acclaimed results, there was a phenomenal demand for him to teach his systems to other companies and organizations. At one point, Bob Gray was invited to share his techniques at a national fitness convention. Because Bob Gray incorporated his unique brand of humour and the incredible abilities he had developed in his stage days, his presentation was an instant success. From then on, there was no looking back. Bob Gray was again doing what he loved. Bob Gray was performing. Only this time, he also had the satisfaction of knowing that he was educating his audience as much as – if not more than – entertaining them. Bob Gray is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), the highest earned designation in the speaking profession and in 2006 was inducted into the Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame.

Bob Gray Speaking Testimonials

Bob did a great job as the keynote speaker at the Alberta Health and Safety Conference 2022 opening ceremony. He engaged us right out of the gate and I even got to help with one of his demonstrations! Great motivation to try something different and incorporate memory tricks into use in my professional and personal life. May our paths cross again!
