Speaking is what I'm most asked for. It's also the smallest part of what I do. If you arrived here from somewhere else on the site, you already know that. If you arrived here first — welcome. There's a lot more.
For the person booking the speaker
The $575 billion your company can't see.
Most keynotes give your audience something to think about. Mine gives them a number for what presenteeism, invisible illness, and burnout are already costing their organisation — and what to do about it.
I spent a decade on healthcare stages naming what patients experience. Then I realised: every room I entered had the same disease. People performing. Systems rewarding the performance. Nobody willing to put a number on what it costs.
I'm the one who puts the number on it.
Book “The $575 Billion You Can't See”
After a workshop in Krems, a healthcare professional wrote:
“This afternoon gave me what I usually try to give my clients: to be met where you are. To be understood, not judged. To be valued simply for doing your best, even if it's not perfect.”
One of her colleagues went straight to a patient that same evening and used what he'd felt in the room — not what he'd learned. That's the difference.

What people say
I have never seen a speaker like you before.
My personal highlight was Roi's keynote on why chronically ill people might be our best employees.
This is the most important lesson I have had in medical school. Every future doctor should listen to Roi.
You absolutely rocked the stage. The colleagues highly appreciated your clear and meaningful speech.
The magic begins as soon as you appear on the stage. You're a master in creating emotional atmospheres.
I could immediately put the spirit into practice — the same evening with a patient.
I left with the feeling that I had grown on a human level.
You didn't just give our group an insight — you made it possible to deeply understand how essential it is to feel seen, taken seriously, and heard as a patient.
I think everyone needs an afternoon with Roi now and then.
I am a changed man after this talk. I can't go back to unmindful living.
Roi is the author of 7 books on patient experience, chronic illness, and AI in healthcare — including Revolution From My Bed and Can AI Restore Humanity In Healthcare? Read more →
