Verity Robins – Professional speaker, trainer, coach and mentor


You will be entertained…and at the same time inspired, challenged and armed with practical tools to make immediate lasting change that will add value to your life.

Verity RobinsWe all want to be successful, confident and valued, I have spent 12 years studying what sets successful people apart, what makes them tick, the simple things they do on a daily basis to ultimately achieve outstanding results. My life is positive and inspired, I am living and building my dream and I happily share this passion, knowledge and action with you.

In the 12 years that I have been a member of Toastmasters International I have learnt many skills: Leadership, mentoring, judging, competing and most importantly how to present well. I strongly believe that being able to present, speak off the cuff, participate in meetings and assert yourself are valuable skills that boost confidence, self-esteem and your ability to communicate.

I have spoken professionally to clients such as IBM, Telstra, CPA Australia, Network Central, Results Coaching Systems, Living Now and many more. I was destined to professionally speak! I balance this with one on one corporate and private speaking training, executive coaching and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) training courses.

Following are a selection of topics I present:
1. The Corporate Edge
Verity empowers and arms corporate Australia with one of the most valuable skills they can have – the ability to communicate. Every moment that you speak you are selling your strengths, abilities and ideas. Verity works with CEO’s, executives and managers and challenges them professionally to not only be at the top of their fields but also communicate with power, charisma and elegance. This speech is packed full of tips to help you become a brilliant speaker. Verity covers confidence, voice, focus, preparation, planning, and moving your body. You will feel inspired and confident that you too can speak at meetings, proposals, events and socially with competence and ability.

2. Believe in your Path
This speech is about the power of beliefs. I draw on my skills as a trainer in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and through humour and insight you get the opportunity to pinpoint limiting beliefs that are holding you back and acknowledge the positive, wonderful beliefs that are enhancing your life. This is an inspiring speech, leaving participants feeling positive and in control of their destiny.

3. Where am I going?
This speech is very motivating, it teaches a tool you can use every day of your life. I cover how goals can shape our lives and create our destiny and then go through, step by step, how to form a clear, positive, attainable goal. I use personal and inspiring stories to emphasize how knowing where you are going can make a huge impact on your life. Each person in the audience will leave with powerful goals set and the knowledge of how to ensure success at achieving them. This incorporates the NLP formula for 'Outcomes' and my experience and process of goal setting as a 'Success Coach'.

4. Blamer, Victim, Rescuer... which are you?
How do you react when under stress, do you blame everyone and everything else, do you try and change the topic and escape notice, do you accept the blame even though you know it wasn't your fault or do you retreat into logic and cold calculated reason? How can you face change, disagreements, conflict and confrontation and still be you, emotionally secure and steady? This speech will empower you with the skill to be true to yourself. Through stories, experiences and anecdotes you will learn firstly how you currently deal with stress and conflict and then find the skills within you to lead a new empowering way of resolving conflict - without disfunctional behaviour. Bring it on!

5. The Eloquent Presenter
This is a humorous and interactive speech on presentation skills. I speak of my own personal experience in the public speaking realm and incorporate practical tips on how to present with eloquence. Warm and encouraging this speech will leave you feeling enthused and wanting to give it a go. Depending on group size I will involve the audience to varying degrees.

6. State of mind.
State control is a tool that is amazingly useful every day and can be applied any time, anywhere - in the work place, socially and at home. Why do we sometimes go from miserable to happy, or happy and plummet to miserable - and not even know what changed! I cover the foundations of what affects our emotions (state) and how they can then affect the meaning we give to life. We will go over how you can effectively and quickly change your state. I take you the audience through a range of emotional states and leave you not only feeling vital, powerful and positive but also with the skills to effect change whenever you feel the need or desire.

7 . Sense-ational
This speech is founded in NLP and explores the senses and how we use them to communicate. Though enhanced noticing skills and lots of fun you will identify what your preferred sense is - Visual, Auditory or Kinaesthetic. I outline how you can recognise what senses your colleagues/family prefer and how to enhance and develop your senses to strengthen your communication skills. Light hearted and practical you will come away with skills to give you an edge in your communications.

I look forward to discussing with you how I can best meet the needs of your function.
Regards,

Verity Robins.


Testimonial:
Believe in Your Path
Verity Robins, presented to a sell-out group of 100 women from finance, accounting and business backgrounds (and one lucky man from the sponsors). The presentation formed part of the Women in Business Breakfasts series, run by the Women's CPA Network. Due to demand, a second breakfast was held and received another top score.

In particular, I think attendees enjoyed her real life stories. One attendee noted, 'real life examples bring the ideas to life'. Verity's presentation was ‘energetic, humorous and also very thought-provoking’. Others described the breakfasts as 'inspiring, entertaining and enjoyable', 'a good opportunity to re-evaluate my life direction and plan for the future' and 'makes a positive start to the day'.

I highly recommend Verity as a speaker.
