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 a multi-passionate entrepreneur. Here are some of the ways my clients describe me:
- business growth strategy coach
- virtual event design consultant
- executive Zoom producer
- professional speaker
- emcee/host/facilitator
- International best-selling author
- podcast host
- networking expert
As a business growth strategist, I coach entrepreneurial women in their 50s and beyond (and a few good men) who are ready to grow their impact and income through new revenue streams by helping them grow their audience BEFORE launching 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 to create transformative, inclusive, and engaging experiences.
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. bagels”
- I published three books that have received over 650 Amazon reviews
- I’ve hosted the On the Schmooze 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…

Become a Certified Virtual Event Professional
For those ready to invest in their skills, Robbie has created The 5% Advantage Program. This is an experiential four-week certification program that helps presenters and meeting professionals grow in their confidence with Zoom, online facilitation, and virtual event design, so they can reduce their tech angst and host more engaging online experiences.
Participants who complete the four weeks are eligible to become a Certified Virtual Event Professional. This program is ideal for both professional speakers, and those who don’t want to be the presenter, but instead want to be the producer of engaging and well-executed virtual events.
