When Rob Jones’ heart stopped without warning in 2024, his life hung by a thread. In those critical minutes, his wife, Ruby, performed CPR, keeping him alive until help arrived.
That experience changed everything. His perspective, his purpose, and his understanding of what truly matters.
In One Beat Away, Rob shares his deeply personal journey from sudden cardiac arrest to recovery, and the lessons learned about resilience, connection, and courage along the way.
With honesty, humour, and heart, Rob invites audiences to reflect on how fragile life can be, and how powerful we become when we choose to act.
Through this talk, Rob explores:
The thin line between crisis and clarity, and how quickly life can shift.
How to build resilience in the face of the unexpected.
The importance of CPR awareness and taking immediate action.
What survival teaches us about leadership, purpose, and perspective.
Whether you’re a corporate team navigating change, a community group promoting health awareness, or an audience seeking inspiration, Rob’s message is unforgettable:
We’re all just one beat away from losing everything, or rediscovering what really matters.
