Motivational Currency®
Influence with IntentionDecode What Drives Yourself and Others
Meet Rob
Thank you for learning a bit about me so I can help you learn more about yourself and reach your professional objectives. I challenge and equip leaders and rising stars to grow their influence, lead with purpose, and create meaningful business results. Whether I’m advising a CEO navigating a high-stakes challenge or coaching a team to collaborate more effectively, I bring candor, clarity, and compassion to every conversation. My passion is helping people tap into their strengths and grow in their weak areas—especially when the pressure’s on.
I’m often called in during times of crisis, uncertainty, or transformation—situations that demand both precision and trust. Over the past 25 years, I’ve partnered with companies across industries including finance, private equity, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, technology, media, sports, and entertainment. Some of the organizations I’ve worked with include Goldman Sachs, Comcast, Harman (a Samsung company), Capital One, Cisco, Akron’s Children’s Hospital and many others. Whether it’s helping leaders adapt, teams align, or cultures evolve, my goal is always to deliver lasting impact.
One of the tools I’m most proud of creating is the Motivational Currency® Calculator—a self-assessment that helps people understand what drives them and those around them. It started during a multi-year engagement with a Fortune 50 financial firm and has since become a powerful framework for building influence, improving collaboration, and unlocking potential. From global women’s networks to executive offsites, it’s helping people lead smarter and connect deeper—especially in high-stakes environments.
Pain Points Leaders Face and How
Motivational Currency® Solves Them
Traditional Tools Are Outdated and Out of Touch
Companies are relying on leadership playbooks and personality assessments that were built for a different era. These tools lack business relevance, speed, and staying power.
Relief: Motivational Currency is a modern, business-focused framework built for today’s pace—designed by a performance psychologist who advises Fortune 500 leaders. It connects motivation to performance, not just personality.
Leadership Models Are Too Complex or Theoretical:
Many leadership frameworks are overly academic, hard to retain, or too complicated to implement in the real world.
Relief: Motivational Currency is simple, sticky, and practical. It’s skill-based, not academic—designed so leaders can learn it quickly and apply it immediately in conversations, meetings, and coaching moments.
Lack of Employee Motivation in Hybrid Environments:
Leaders are struggling to keep people engaged and driven, especially in a world of hybrid work, Zoom fatigue, and low connection.
Relief: Motivational Currency teaches leaders to decode what really drives their people—Performance, People, Power, or Purpose—and how to activate each motivator in any setting.

“Rob Fazio was my leadership coach when I became chair of surgery at Drexel. I can honestly say that his insight, advice and coaching were instrumental in my development as a leader. He was my first phone call when I encountered difficult situations and taught me a lot about how perceptions can impact a leader’s effectiveness. Now when I mentor my division chiefs I often quote words of wisdom from Rob..”

“Dr. Fazio was able to connect with our global audience of leaders in a way that few facilitators can. Having experienced the Motivational Currency assessment, keynote and workshop, I now understand how he does it! This instrument and sessions helped us understood how critical motivation is to our leadership journey and how we motivate and influence others.”

“Rob Fazio from OnPoint Advising has the rare ability to balance relationships with results. He took the time to understand the priorities and speed of our business to be aligned with our critical objectives. His expertise in making emotional intelligence and effective communication strategies practical was right on target. I hope more of our future executives get to work with him.”
