Additional Experience:
In addition to his work in vocational counseling, Dr. Roberts is president of the Skiboards Superstore, Inc. (Skiboards.com) an online retail business that represents a unique niche snow riding sport. Skiboards accelerate personal freedom, creativity and joy on the ski slopes. Skiboards are twice the width of skis, half the length and pure fun from the very first day for any ability level, feeling more like skates in terms of balance and maneuverability. Easy to learn, with a super fast learning curve, skiboards provide a true transformational experience allowing individuals to accelerate Neuro-Physiological de-conditioning of the personality and access to one's Higher Self, accompanied by an overwhelming experience of greater joy and freedom.
The Skiboards Superstore is a business that grew out of Dr. Robert’s own personal work with the Discover Your Life's Work system that resulted in the creation of an unique niche Internet business and additional income stream. This also provided Dr. Roberts with real world experience in creating websites, driving traffic through effective internet marketing strategies and creating online businesses to generate financial prosperity and express one’s deeper purpose. He also now teaches and incorporates many of these same principles in his seminars and private work.
