A creation of BobHomme, the program began at a small commercial TV station in Wisconsin in 1954.
He would invite them to have a seat: "One little chair for one of you, and a bigger chair for two to curl up in, and for someone who likes to rock, a rocking chair in the middle." Then: "Look up, look wa-a-ay upÂ…" and there was Friendly, soon joined by Rusty and Jerome.
See why, Bob was selected to be the opening keynote for 600 newly elected Alberta Mayors, and rural counselors and is in demand as a leadership success coach and employee motivational speaker and trainer.
Bob is the author of ten leadership, business, employee motivation and career development books, a mini-book series, four success systems, a series of e-books, as well as special resources, white papers, reports, and business enhancement success tools.
