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.” Here are some of the ways my clients describe me:
- business growth strategy coach
- virtual event design consultant
- executive Zoom producer
- professional speaker
- podcast host
- emcee/host/facilitator
- International best-selling author
- networking expert
As a business growth strategist, I coach entrepreneurial women in their 50s and beyond who are ready to grow their impact and income through new revenue streams by helping them grow their audience before launching or relaunching a program or service.
As an event design consultant and executive Zoom producer, I help mission-driven organizations–such as Feeding America and California WIC Association–reimagine their in-person and virtual events. I assist with event design strategy, emceeing, virtual production (managing chat and breakout rooms), and training/supporting presenters.
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.
- I was invited to do a TEDx on my signature networking technique “croissants vs. networking”
- I published two books that have received over 400 Amazon reviews
- I’ve hosted a podcast since 2016
When the pandemic shuttered events I swiftly reinvented myself from networking expert to industry expert in the field of digital event design. I then built a multi six-figure business based on all-new revenue streams. I share my entrepreneurial journey on my About page.
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.
A few happy clients…
