Hello, I’m Robyn

Many decades ago, as an ambitious 27 year old, I was told by the VP of Marriott Hotels that unless I mastered the art of speaking in public, my career was significantly threatened. That comment followed him witnessing me make an absolute mess of a presentation I gave to the General Managers and Financial Controllers of the Marriott Hotels in Europe, Middle East and Africa – the region I was responsible for marketing.

I chose that day to do whatever it took to feel confident and comfortable speaking in public
– every master was once a disaster.

Ask yourself…

Have you ever felt sick before a presentation or been so nervous that you can’t hear a word you say?

Do you often struggle to find the right words at the right time and choose to stay quiet instead?

Do you have an amazing idea that you want to ‘sell’ to the world yet you struggle to articulate your offering?

Would you simply like to be able to run a meeting effectively and efficiently or conduct a performance review without fear?

Is your dream to stand on stages and inspire yet you don’t know where to begin?

Then, you have come to the right place. You can be assured that your fears can be overcome and that you or your team will be cared for and coached into confidence. Clear, concise, compelling communication is within your reach – if are you prepared to listen, learn and practise?

Are you prepared to listen, learn and practise?

Warren Buffett tells people that their most valuable asset isn’t stocks and shares. He claims that no investment will pay off more than improving your public speaking skills. Buffett talks about overcoming the fear of speaking and says that he displays just one diploma in his office – the one he received from taking a public-speaking course, adding ‘If you can’t talk to people, you’ve got a real problem’.

I love helping people speak for impact – and learn how to truly listen, too!

Most conversations are simply monologues delivered in the presence of a witness.
