Select Testimonials
"Robyn was a home-run for our leadership conference of 1,500 attendees. She is high-energy, engaging, inspiring, and does a great job connecting the story of adventure racing and teamwork to leadership in the business world. We received great feedback from our participants, and are very happy to have found Robyn. I would highly recommend her for any size event!"
"Listening to speakers like you who can share your experience through adversity is especially important; thank you for spending time with Allstate's leadership team earlier this month. Your message of total team work – synergy, commitment, empathy and mutual respect – is powerful. Allstate leaders might not be climbing mountains or bicycling through a rain forest but we are competing every day to take care of our customers and strengthen communities so that we deliver the Good Hands promise far into the future. Your stories remind us that no matter what challenge we face, we can overcome it by working together. "
"Robyn's message for our company was perfect. The presentation felt custom-made for us and left everyone ready to help each other win! Everyone loved her energy level and her thought-provoking stories connected with our employees. I have witnessed many members of our team referencing quotes from her talk, and I expect we will incorporate many of them into our company culture. Having high-performing teams is critical to our success, and Robyn's inspirational message has undoubtedly made our teams stronger."
"We wanted to have a powerful, engaging, and inspirational opening keynote speaker to kick off the Technical Leadership Summit for our global design and engineering leaders, and WOW, did she ever deliver. Thanks Robyn, you're awesome!"
"Robyn, you were amazing! You are a “rock star”! I really appreciate you being at our meeting. Your powerful presentation and message aligned perfectly with what I wanted to accomplish and you knocked it out of the ball park! I can’t tell you how many people have come up to me and sent me notes on how great they thought your presentation was. I want to sincerely thank you for traveling here and being such a big part of our meeting. I could not have been happier!"
"Your presentation style and message really energized the attendees. We heard nothing but great comments and feedback from many of the attendees throughout the week!"
“One word, PHENOMENAL! Robyn had the audience’s attention from the moment she stepped out on stage. The Adventure Racing stories she shared were not short of incredible and showed the epitome of TEAMWORK. I have no doubt that every single person at the conference walked away with a new perspective and appreciation of what TEAM really means. You rocked it!!”
"Robyn, I had the pleasure of hearing you speak today at Microsoft and I have to tell you how you left me inspired and with a renewed faith in a different way to think about teamwork. I have always valued working in a team but you gave me some great insights into new ways of thinking and while I cannot say I have ever been an Adventure Racer – in fact, I couldn’t be further from it….today I left feeling as though I AM an adventure racer each and every day in my role."
"MORE THAN PERFECT…AMAZING…MESSAGE ON TARGET FOR US AND FUN…SO MANY OF OUR ATTENDEES TOLD ME SHE WAS THE BEST KEYNOTE WE’VE EVER HAD!"
"I just listened to your session at our Annual Meeting.......I have been in the corporate business space for DECADES and this was hands down the best session on this topic, ever. Thank you!!!"
"Your session hit on all marks – energy, entertainment and information! This is what the attendees had to say: 'Inspiring!' 'Great speaker to kick things off and set the tone for the rest of the conference!' 'Great learning experience!' The IAMC audience tends to go to a lot of events each year, and they hear a lot of speakers. So, they can be a tough crowd to please. You and your presentation were unequivocal hits."
"It was very well customized, it felt like she knew us & what we needed to hear, and all our regions felt represented! It's so impactful to hear how “we” all contribute, and are equally critical to adapting, overcoming & winning as one regardless of level/ title. Robyn's presentation was the favorite event!"
"You have hundreds of raving fans from German American! A few things I noticed: you listened to our pre-meeting conversation, read the pre-meeting notes, and paid attention to our meeting today which enabled you to represent our brand without one single hitch. You were authentic, energetic, inspirational and so darn real!!"
"Thanks for joining us in Atlanta for our global management meeting. Your presentation was excellent and very inspiring. I heard from many of our people telling me how much they enjoyed your presentation and how quickly the time went by. Many said you were the best keynote speaker that we have had over the 18 years that we have been in existence."
"I would like to thank you for your exceptional keynote speech; you executed an experience that was beyond compare. Thank you for making this day a memorable one. "
"Robyn was a HUGE hit as our virtual keynote speaker. The comments that came through in the chat were AMAZING. Our industry is hurting so badly and everyone was so inspired by Robyn. My president just sent me an email saying Robyn was one of the best if not the best keynote we have ever had!"
"I thought yours was one of the best, if not the best, keynote session I've seen in over two decades at my company. ... you did your homework on us and our event; intensive homework, way beyond just Googling us. You spoke as an insider! You didn't just bring us into your world, you integrated both our worlds, your examples were specific, but your message and lessons were universal, and I found myself more and more impressed as the talk went on."
