Robyn Pulman  |    Public speaking & presentation skills coach

“When you engage me to develop your speaking skills, you benefit from my extensive corporate experience in senior international marketing positions working throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa.”

I’ve spoken at dozens of conferences, run hundreds of workshops and helped thousands of people ‘find their voice’, refine their pitch, present their proposal, lead their team, present for impact and even make peace with their partner. When you engage me to develop your speaking skills, you benefit from my extensive corporate experience in senior international marketing positions working throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa. You also benefit from my business and personal coaching background extending more than twenty-five years – focusing on leadership, communication and personal mastery. I have also assisted a number of high performing IC members participating in the accelerator programs.

I’ve been a member of similar groups in other cities where I lived since 2012 and enjoyed seeing it being effective and really like a group of like minded people.

We would like to establish a similar meetup group on Sunshine Coast where accomplished SEO specialists can come and share their experiences and those only starting receive help and guidance.
