North Edison Branch

Meeting Room 1

Join us for a special author talk and Q&A with Sunil Robert, a motivational speaker and leadership coach whose life journey is a powerful reminder that circumstances do not have to define our future.

What does it take to rise above adversity, rediscover your purpose, and turn life’s setbacks into a comeback?

Join us at Edison Public Library for a special author talk and Q&A with Sunil Robert, an author, motivational speaker, and leadership coach whose life journey is a powerful reminder that our circumstances do not have to define our future.

Born in Hyderabad, India, Sunil Robert worked his way through significant early challenges to build an accomplished career in corporate communications and leadership. His experiences inspired his books, I Will Survive: Comeback Stories of a Corporate Warrior and Bound to Rise, which explore resilience, personal growth, perseverance, and the choices that help shape our lives. 

But Sunil’s story extends beyond the page. Through mentoring, public speaking, and volunteer work helping others develop their confidence and communication skills, he encourages people to recognize their potential, overcome obstacles, and embrace new beginnings. 

Come hear the story behind the books, discover lessons about resilience and personal transformation, and take part in a lively question-and-answer session. Whether you are a reader, a student, a professional navigating change, or simply someone who enjoys an inspiring real-life story, this is an opportunity to connect with an author whose message is about possibility, perseverance, and the power of a fresh start.
