Hire the Best Motivational Speakers in Ohio

You CAN have more confidence and less stress when speaking. (Really!) When you think that some people are "naturals" at confidence, public speaking, and effective communication, think again! They simply learned a skill set that anyone can learn. Confidence, self-talk, and effective communication skills are the keys to mastering real-life situations, in the moment...any moment (yet most people are never taught these skills!). Learning and applying this skill set to your everyday life will give you consistent and positive results both personally and professionally. Want to learn how to motivate, inspire, and persuade while being genuine, engaging, and confident? I can help. :) What I Do: I teach smart people how to shift their self-talk, body language, and mental attention, so they have more confidence and less stress when they speak. My Experience: Professionally, I am an award-winning journalist, professional speaker, and confidence coach. Personally, I am a mom, wife, and friend. I am proud to say that I have facilitated personal and professional development training focused on Public Speaking, Executive Presence, and Leadership Development internationally for companies including Microsoft, Panera, and American Greetings. My professional experience includes being an on-air talent for NBC and ABC network affiliates. During that time, I trained Emmy award nominees and an Emmy award winner. Clients range from small business owners to Fortune 500 VPs. My book, "Get Off My Bus!: How to Get Clarity, Get in the Driver's Seat, and Get Moving in Your Life!," was nominated for Small Business Trends' Small Business Book of 2010 and is available at all the usual suspects, including Amazon and Barnes and Noble. When to Call Me: If you are looking to hire a no-BS coach who will teach you how to show up in a more powerful, confident, and effective way (while still being you!), I am one phone call or email away! If you need to hire a fun, dynamic, and motivating speaker, I am ready to share boatloads of actionable "a-has" with your audience! "Robin is a whiz at getting you out of your head and back into your life!" Get Clarity, Get Moving, Get Results™
