Robyn Moore has been one of Australia’s most in-demand speakers for 30 years delivering over 2000 presentations. With a background in Education, Advertising and the Communication/Entertainment Industry she has developed unique skills with "the Power of the Word” changing peoples’ “Point of View” in an instant. Her “tailored”, inspirational and thought-provoking presentations totally captivate her audiences at national and international conferences as they laugh, reflect, are moved and enlivened. Robyn literally "sells people back to themselves" so they recognise old habits and behaviours and take responsibility for choices, which create the outcomes they have always wanted in their lives. These shifts are long-lasting because the stories and distinctions she chooses, inspire people to feel “back in life again”! Robyn’s talks are often described as “life-changing”.
