Position: Speaker/Voice-Over Artist/National Patron of Make-A-Wish Australia
Biography:
For 40 years, Robyn Moore has been changing peoples' perception through "the power of the word" as an educator, in advertising, in the entertainment-recording industry and now as a speaker at National and International Conferences. She is passionate about increasing access to human potential and opening pathways to 100% participation in life through “breakthrough” communication!
Robyn is a National Patron of Make-A-Wish Australia, an Australia Day Ambassador for the Australia Day Council and is Australia’s most in-demand female speaker. She has a unique relationship with words and weaves together humour, powerful stories and life-altering distinctions to create an experiential presentation which will create greater access to “well-being”, resilience, passion, service, leadership, balance, results and satisfaction for participants…both professionally and personally. Robyn’s presentations are never “ordinary”!
Presentation: “The Power of the Word to Transform Thinking, Teaching and Doing Business”:
This highly entertaining, inspiring and thought-provoking keynote presentation is designed to “shake up” our perception of communication with students, colleagues, business partners and ourselves.
Robyn will take you on a “life-altering” inquiry into re-discovering all the things that matter in Education: passion, values, creativity, potential, curiosity, collaboration, resilience, partnerships, innovation, results and satisfaction. This presentation promises to reveal new possibilities in all areas of life…in leadership roles, team building, personal growth in Education, in Family and Relationships.
Robyn's presentation is designed to:
• Re-ENGAGE with your whole LIFE…
(Vocation/Job, Purpose, Family, Relationships, Community…YOU!)
• Re-ALIGN with your Vision, Values and Goals.
• Re-INVENT attitudes and behaviours… access personal responsibility and self-determination. The bi-products are Leadership, Integrity and Authenticity.
• Re-GENERATE Passion, Energy, Productivity, Laughter and Work/Home balance.
• Re-MIND you about what "really mattered before the circumstances changed everything!"
You’ll get to experience Possibility, Optimism and Satisfaction afresh…and the desire to inspire all those in your circle of influence.
• Re-STORE confidence in the future of education.
All these distinctions will become powerful tools when working with students, colleagues and business partners. Delegates will receive the salient points from the presentation in note form, so the words become memorable catch phrases...and remain important tools for everyone into the future.
