Best Story

Through networking in a generous way, I ended up on Good Morning America! It was all because I wanted to help, I followed through, I asked for what I wanted and I embraced my big goals. Here's the result. https://youtu.be/i7htZFBEYyw

Origin Story

Growing up, I was pretty introspective and didn't speak much. This earned me the nickname “Shy.” Though being labled Shy was sometimes stifling; it was also enlightening. It allowed me to observe, learn, and understand the nuances of communication.

Determined to overcome my shyness, I leaped out of my comfort zone in high school, by auditioning for a play, and marked the beginning of my transformation. I became an actress, writer, and teacher.

While teaching English as a Second Language, I developed a passion for helping others break through communication barriers. Drawing from my experiences and skills learned through acting and writing, I created effective techniques to empower my adult students to communicate confidently in English. The success and impact of these techniques led me to work with the broader English-speaking population.

My pursuit of knowledge is my strongest value. I’m constantly upleveling my skills., I'm a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner and constanly research and study the latest in the neuroscience of communication. I'm Exactly What to Say Certified and I am a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)

I love discovering new learning opportunities, a chance to refine and share my passion for communication. It's rewarding to guide others in their journey and witness their growth. So, let’s explore the world of communication together, learn from each other, and express ourselves more effectively.

Cut the Drama! And Get the Most Out of Your Best

We all love a good drama! In fact, Robyn once wrote for two of the most popular daytime dramas out there.

While creating drama on TV is entertaining and profitable, drama in your workplace or in your life... not so entertaining and definitely not profitable.
