Meet Robbie

Hi there and welcome! Depending on what attracted you to my site you may be surprised to discover that I do more than what you were originally interested in. I'm what some would call a “multi-hyphenate.” In my case, this means I'm a professional speaker – business growth strategy coach – virtual event design consultant – executive Zoom producer – emcee – podcast host – author – virtual presentation skills trainer, and I'm likely leaving something out…
I shared a bit about my journey and how I can support you on my About page, but suffice to say I've been producing events in one form or another since I was in college in the 90s and providing business growth strategy advice for nearly as long.
Along the way, I have been recognized as an expert in multiple areas, published a book that received nearly 250 reviews globally on Amazon, was invited to do a TEDx on my signature networking technique, hosted a podcast for over 5 years (and counting), and when the pandemic shuttered in-person events I swiftly reinvented myself to continue to provide value to my clients and my network.
All that I've learned and experienced makes me the person you'll want to work with regardless of the service I'm providing. Speaking of which, check out the ways we can work together.
