About Robert
Author. Leader. Transformation Catalyst.
Robert Short is on a mission to turn bold dreams into real-world impact—starting with his own and expanding to those he serves. A seasoned senior leader at Cisco and Global Chief of Staff for PRIDE Inclusive Communities, Robert leads with heart and clarity, building momentum across teams, platforms, and purpose-driven projects.
When he’s not guiding high-performing teams or championing inclusion in tech, he’s creating a new kind of publishing powerhouse. As the founder of Infinite Possibilities Publishing, Robert helps authors, entrepreneurs, and changemakers bring their visions to life through books that matter. His own titles—including the Lead Forward! leadership series—offer actionable insight for aspiring leaders ready to step up, inspire, and transform.
What sets Robert apart isn’t just what he’s accomplished—it’s how he shows up. He blends strategic brilliance with emotional depth. He builds businesses with soul. And he walks his talk—whether he’s leading a PSI Seminar breakthrough, diving into a Joe Dispenza practice, or baking the perfect sourdough loaf at home in Las Vegas with his husband Pablo and their beloved fur family.
Robert believes growth should be joyful, leadership should be human, and success should feel like coming home to yourself.
