"My path to being a Deloitte summer associate has been a long one….I studied architecture in India, and went on to practice it in Europe and the US before starting my own company in Chicago. Since then, I moved on to developing and managing a convention center and I was finally able to go back to school for my MBA last fall. Nowhere in all my years have I heard someone articulate the basic tenets of leadership and teamwork as well as you did. Needless to say, you left us all impressed!"

"The conference went great!!! You were so effective in teaching teamwork, setting the tone is an understatement!!! We really got it!! That evening we did set up our committee by vote. We also redistributed 300 existing client business accounts for service with eager cooperation from everyone. The next day we increased the state's incentive fund contribution, set up a recruiting fund and training fund. These are monies that are deducted from everyone's statements and used to cover contest, conference etc. Anyway, that went very well too.

Our moral has improved 100%. The meeting surveys were all positive and gave you lots of luv for your roll in our conference."
- Steven W. Kaiser, State Sales Coordinator, Aflac Hawaii/Guam

"I have known Robyn Benincasa for a number of years, and have utilized her talents as both a speaker, as well as a leader of team oriented events. While the SVP for the Western U.S. for Starbucks Coffee, I selected her as both the lead speaker, as well as the team leader, for our annual Store Manager Leadership Conference, held in Tacoma, Washington. The event was an overwhelming success. In fact, 6 years later, they are still talking about the key learnings, the fun, and the excitement of working together as a team. She also addressed the national Leadership Conference for Starbucks Coffee, speaking to about a 1000 attendees, including the Board of Directors, Howard Schultz, the founder, as well as the senior leadership team, the corporate office, and the entire field organization for Starbucks. She was a great success.

Likewise, 2 years ago I was the C.O.O. for It's A Grind Coffee Houses, and we invited Robyn to facilitate a one day team building event, as well as deliver the keynote address at the first ever national Franchisee Convention. She went above and beyond, ensuring the success of the event, and providing much in the way of key learnings the each Franchisee could take back to their individual businesses. I can recommend Robyn and her team to provide an exceptional event that will thrill the audience short term, and provide meaningful change in the long-term as she provides key insights into the synergies of building a World Class team. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call."
-- John Alderson, Zone V.P. Starbucks/C.O.O. It's a Grind

"Robyn has a singular energy which she transmits to her audience, allowing them, at least vicariously, to live what she has experienced. Her story is a call-to-action to be more active at whatever level in the great outdoors."
--Lee Plesser Smith, Marketing Manager, Timberland

"Your "8 Essential Elements of Human Synergy" was by far the presentation was absolutely the best of all the sessions I attended at this years HDI Conference. In fact it was the best corporate presentation I have ever seen. I really DID leave the session inspired."
- Frank Hartnagel, IT Asset Management Analyst, HDI

"Robyn, thanks again for the awesome presentation you gave to our HR meeting this past Monday. It was by far the best and most inspiring talk I have ever heard. I have taken to heart some of the key messages from your talk and have and will use them in my personal as well as my work life. You really made a difference and for that I am grateful."
-- Edward Hayes, Siemens Medical Solutions, Director, Human Resources

"I cannot thank you enough for your dedication and phenominal delivery at the Teambuilding/Bikebuilding event at our National Managers Meeting. I received SO many wonderful, positive comments about Robyn's presentation. The audience felt you were very authentic, passionate and that you really understood 'Jamba'. I/we were thrilled. I suspect there will be many upcoming occasions for us to work together. I look forward to it!"
-- Renee Kempler, Jamba Juice, Director of Retail Marketing

"We had so much fun with you. I literally received so many compliments on your message and comments about how your talk touched people - some wanted to go home and share with their husbands/wives/families. Several others said you were the best speaker they had ever heard (my opinion too by the way) and that more in Nestle should hear you! You SO over-delivered both in your speech and in your willingness to spend time with our team. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect message to be delivered at just the right time."
-- Lisbeth Armentano, Director of Communications & Promotions, Nestlé Nutrition Division
