What makes Robin’s presentations different?

Activities that are fun-with-a-purpose. Robin gets the audience involved so that they can experience changes in perspective and behavior in a fun, non-threatening way. New insights which are heard, seen and experienced make more of a lasting impact. Stories, humor and magic are also used to reinforce key points. Learning to "lighten up" with our co-workers leads to more team spirit, better relationships and greater commitment. Employees that play together, stay together.

What are experiential activities?

People learn by doing. Experiential activities are games, exercises, icebreakers and energizers that are fun to do! They are always thought provoking. New attitudes and behaviors are learned in a way that is safe and enjoyable. After an experiential activity, Robin processes the audiences' responses into nuggets of wisdom that they will remember and use. Participants have a common experience that can be later recalled for the benefit of all.

Do all audiences like to get involved?

Yes! Audience members love being the star of their own show. By being involved they write the script. The higher the entertainment value the more energy that is created. People don't argue with their own ideas. They feel the joy of discovering ways to use their new insights.

Can activities be used in a keynote setting and how many people can participate?

If you want the audience to have maximum learning retention and have fun, then Robin can deliver in any setting. When audiences are in fixed seating as is typical of keynotes, the activities are chosen to accommodate having the audience stand and/or form small groups. Some activities are individual and are done while seated. A room set up with movable chairs increases the options for activities. Audiences as large as 1,000 - 2,000 can easily participate in activities.

How does Robin personalize her presentations?

Every presentation is designed for the benefit of the audience. Robin asks the meeting planner a series of questions as well as for names of five or six people who will be attending the meeting. These people must represent a cross section of the audience. Robin speaks with them about their job, their feelings about what is and is not working within the company and what they believe would be most beneficial at this meeting. This provides a good idea of current and significant issues within the company, industry jargon and general morale levels. She then designs a program that incorporates this information so that her presentation is personal, relevant and powerful.

What will the audience “walk away” with?

After experiencing one of Robin's presentations, the audience will feel energized, more cohesive and valued. Morale is raised when people have an awareness of how their contribution benefits themselves and others. When they have experienced this cooperative attitude in a positive and fun way, they are motivated to transfer it to their work environment. Robin inspires and challenges the audience to create a culture that communicates effectively, builds trust and creates team spirit.
