What are clients, speakers, and participants saying about Robbie?

"Robbie has been providing Zoom production, speaker guidance, and session design for Feeding America's virtual multi-day conferences since 2020. He does an outstanding job communicating with our team and coordinating with dozens of session speakers. His expertise, attention to detail, great follow-through, and guidance give us confidence going into each virtual event. We receive great attendee feedback. Robbie is a key contributor to our success."—MELANIE NOWACKI, Feeding America

"Robbie kept our team strategically focused on key milestones so we understood and could plan for all the contingencies and actions necessary for a successful virtual conference. Robbie was very easy to work with. He communicates clearly, and with excellent “touch.” We always trusted that he would deliver everything necessary for a successful conference."—ROSS TARTELL, Ph.D., Association of Talent Development (ATD) Southern Connecticut Chapter 

"We could not have pulled off our virtual events had we not had Robbie on our team! He helped us with more than the day itself. He conducted a speaker's training to help them pivot their in-person style to fit the virtual presentation, which takes minor changes but yields great engagement results. He also took our schedule and built a "run of show" so we knew what would happen every minute and who was up next. We also utilized Robbie's emcee skills as he helped us navigate the day and stay on time. He added great DJ skills, too.” —LAURA BIEWER, Notary Symposium

“Your event—your audience, business, and brand—deserves the "wow factor" that Robbie can deliver. He is the business partner you never knew you needed . . . until now. I could not recommend Robbie more highly for your Zoom event—big or small.

Robbie is a brilliant event design strategist, and a calm, confident Zoom technician. He is creative and sharp, quick-thinking, and always focused on results. Engage with Robbie before outlining an event, because I can assure you that whatever you have in mind is not quite as impactful as what Robbie can help you create.

I enthusiastically hired Robbie because our event guests deserved the kind of seamless experience that only happens if the ‘stars on stage’ aren't fumbling around trying to pull the strings as event producers and directors.” —KATE COLBERT, marketer; speaker; researcher; communications expert; and author of the bestselling books Commencement: The Beginning of a New Era in Higher Education and Think Like a Marketer: How a Shift in Mindset Can Change Everything for Your Business

"I used all Robbie’s tips and tricks at our board meeting the day after he led a Zoom training, and they were a big hit. We used one of his prompts in the breakout rooms and kept the energy up with music and ASL applause. Everybody loved it! If you have a high-stakes meeting that needs excellent facilitation and engagement, reach out to Robbie for expert assistance." —MARGI POWER, Leadership Council, San Mateo County

"I enrolled in The 5% Advantage Program—because I thought I should know something about Zoom in these tough times. When the program was over, I was amazed to find new doors opening. Because of Robbie’s training, I’ve learned useful skills to take my business in a new, exciting direction. The day I received my Certified Virtual Event Professional #NoMoreBadZoom digital badge, I got two bookings for my new program. After 35 years in the speaking and broadcasting business, being able to jumpstart a brand-new business at the age of 86 is a gift beyond price. If you have the opportunity to take this program, do it." —DOROTHY WILHELM, author; speaker; broadcaster; and newspaper columnist

“As a small non-profit organization, Robbie has truly transformed our virtual meeting experience for everyone. His professionalism and expertise not only alleviated a burden on staff, but his unique ability to care for and support speakers and attendees resulted in better, more interactive sessions. Since Fall 2020, he has become a trusted member of our team and community!” —LENA WORKMAN, California WIC Association

"I highly recommend Robbie for his services as a Zoom consultant and facilitator. He supported my team for a virtual Feeding America conference over the past couple of years.

“Robbie has been the one to help us take our Zoom game to the next level. We were doing it, and it was fine, but it was more mechanical and transactional. Since he came into our mix in early 2022, he’s added the relational part. That warmth is coming through. We can only do that through the skill of an excellent producer. I want to honor him for being that. He’s the best!” —MELANNIE DENISE CUNNINGHAM, Creator and Executive Producer, The People's Gathering: A Revolution of Consciousness Conference; Greater Tacoma Peace Prize recipient

"Robbie is a brilliant Zoom trainer. I joined his free #NoMoreBadZoom Virtual Happy Hour in 2020 and enjoyed the tips, tricks, and strategies he shared. When I saw that he was offering The 5% Advantage Program to make us 5% better every time we Zoom, I thought, “I don’t need that. I’m already a seasoned speaker, and I teach other people how to lead events.” But there was something about the program promise that called to me. 

I’m so glad I answered that call. Robbie’s program filled in the blanks I didn’t even know were there. The program has tremendous depth, and while I already had two virtual presenter certifications, the one I got from Robbie’s course was the most intensive and helpful to my success in leading virtual programs. Continuously learning is essential, as tech is ever-evolving. I highly recommend him and his program." —MARILYN SUTTLE, keynote speaker; author, Who's Your Gladys?
