We did a survey for the meetings you kicked off and you had amazing "off the chart" results. You made a huge impact on everyone. Many people listed some of your quotes, so they must have been taking notes. Thanks again for everything.

Home run lady. We've had a broad range of impactful speakers over the last decade. Nonetheless, many folks came to me and said you were the best ever. Congratulations. If you have anyone on the fence about booking you, have them give me a call.

You continue to hit grand slams with IDEXX and I know you will again at our next event in October which is a much bigger group and their customers are in the audience. When Brian suggested you I knew it would be terrific but you have really blown everyone away. So love working with you and I am going to suggest you to many of my other clients.

I thought yours was one of the best, if not the best, keynote session I've seen in over two decades at my company. ... you did your homework on us and our event; intensive homework, way beyond just Googling us. You spoke as an insider! You didn't just bring us into your world, you integrated both our worlds, your examples were specific, but your message and lessons were universal, and I found myself more and more impressed as the talk went on."

Robyn, Thank you so much. I shared the value of teamwork from your presentation with my team this morning. The stories of human courage, perseverance, and the support were relevant and moving. It really stuck with me and there was a lot of discussion around it. As a presenter, you were able to be very relatable. I walked away feeling joyful in that human beings can be so good together in working for a common goal. That success can be attained, not at the expense of someone else, but because you inspired or helped someone along the way. Thank you, again.

Hi Robyn, It was such a delight to host you last week as the Keynote at our annual conference! I cannot tell you how many people are STILL talking about your presentation! You ROCKED it, and we so appreciate your commitment and excellence! Thank you again for your service.

Hi Robyn! I want to give you a big ovation of gratitude! Thank you so much for writing How Winning Works! I just finished reading it and it was perfect for me at this time in my life. I'm a young man-child in the process of pursuing and creating the life I want doing what I absolutely love which is life coaching motivational speaking and writing. I reached the point where the initial excitement of starting my own business had worn off and I was having doubts and wondering if perhaps I should try something else. But while reading your book I saw that this is a defining moment in my business an opportunity to persevere and prove to myself that I can do this. I'm not going to quit when the going gets tough. And I may not create the best business in the world but I'm going to create my best version of a business and see this through to the finish line. I also really loved what you wrote about asking for help acknowledging weaknesses and having humility in order to win. I can see that even though I may be a sole proprietor I'm not going to succeed alone and I'm going to need support from other friends mentors and people in the community along the way. You've inspired me to ask my friends for support at this time and they have responded and helped by believing in me. You have indeed made a positive impact in my life. Thank you!

Robyn, I just finished your book, and wanted to say I feel that it is the best leadership/ team building book I have read to date. Being a coach, I have read a lot of them, Coach K, Tony Dungy, Jim Tressel, John Wooden, and the list goes on. I can honestly say I enjoyed your book and found it the most helpful. All the best in your future adventures.

Robyn, Hello. I lead the leadership development efforts at CHRISTUS Health and I heard you speak at our leadership retreat. Our System Director of Communications gave me your book that you signed and left for CHRISTUS. I read the book yesterday and today on my flight to Chicago and back and I am even more inspired. I am doing a team building in Santa Fe for one of our hospitals and after reading your book I am changing to your TEAMWORK model. The lessons from the book and your experience are far greater. Thanks for the great learnings from your lived experience and for your dedication to helping others. Who knows, you may see me as a volunteer at one of foundation events in the future. Thank you for sharing the gift of you with us at CHRISTUS.

Hi Robyn, I really enjoyed your presentation today at UPMG! Awesome and Inspiring! Great way to start a conference and on a Monday! You have a great message for us all. Obviously it translates directly to business - managers and leaders at all levels. But you probably find the greatest satisfaction in helping people at the personal level - where you actually help transform a life! That is truly gratifying work, and I sense that about you! Please let me know if I may ever be of assistance to you or your cause!

Hi Robyn, People are still talking about you from last week’s Annual Meeting. Everyone keeps saying you were our best Annual Meeting speaker ever! Good luck in your future endeavors. I’ll start training for the Athena Key West kayaking event. Thanks again for making this year’s Annual Meeting truly memorable!

“Robyn Benincasa was in a word “awesome” - she hit the nail on the head with what I needed her to say to our folks…anyone looking for team-building/team-speak should hire her! She was super easy to work with and was great with all the attendees afterwards. She will be hard for us to top next year!! Excellent recommendation!”

Thanks Robyn! You're blackberry exceeded expectations:). We appreciate you making this reunion extra special, your stories and messages will stay close to us for years. Several people have already told me how they've turned people's heads in the right direction. Well done!

If I paid you for every time I quoted you since our meeting, you would be a billionaire! You are an institution here!

I have received rave reviews about your presentation. People loved your story, passion and teachings on teamwork. An inspiration to us all!

Being in sales for over 30 years I have attended many rah-rah sessions and some were with the big boys, but I will have to admit that yours was among the best if not THE VERY BEST. Unfortunately the long lines didn't allow me to personally thank you and say â¿¿¿¿Howdyâ¿¿¿¿. I will purchase your book online and be referring you to some of my friends for their team-building sessions..

Robyn, I lead the leadership development efforts at CHRISTUS Health and I heard you speak at our leadership retreat. I was totally inspired. I read the book on my flight to Chicago and back and I am even more inspired. I am doing a team building in Santa Fe for one of our hospitals and am changing to your TEAMWORK model. The lessons from the book and your experience are far greater. You have motivated me to do other great things. Thanks for the great learnings from your lived experience and for your dedication to helping others. Thank you for sharing the gift of you with us at CHRISTUS.

Robyn, you knocked it out of the park today!! The RTG leaders are all buzzing about your talk today. Thank you so much!

Robyn spoke at my big US leadership meeting yesterday, and was incredible. She hit a grand slam home run, had the place buzzing and contributed in a very core way to a very successful meeting. Her story, authenticity, message, experience in medical sales and personal experience as a medical device patient all resonated with the team. I am normally skeptical of "motivational speakers," but Robyn was so much more than that. I would recommend her to anyone.

Let me tell you, Robyn was awesome! She knocked it out of the park. But by all accounts, she was a huge success. I had people coming up to me all day on Thursday wanting to know how to contact her and book her!

I just had the pleasure of listening to one of your talks (Washington Governors Conference) and was so incredibly inspired by it. I can honestly say I have yet to hear a more powerful speaker than you. I couldn't write notes down fast enough because the information just kept coming and with every word I was moved. I just wanted to say Thank you for inspiring me to lead. I appreciate your perspective as it makes so much sense.

Thank you for a great keynote presentation at Ivy Tech's Professional Day. I plan to give your book to my oldest daughter (graduate of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD) to read before she forwards it to her two sisters to read...You are a symbol of inner strength for all people. I wish you well.

Thank you for what you are doing for women everywhere who need a strong sister to encourage them along the way through your Athena foundation -and for the wonderful message you are bringing to corporate America. You blend the essence of strong feminine leadership skills with traditional male dominant thinking and create a symphony of wisdom that touches the heart as well as the mind. I believe you are a perfect example to men and women business leaders around the world. I salute you super sister and commend you for the legacy you are creating for future business leaders!

I believe you had a lasting impact on IDEXX with your visit to our Sales Summit. In fact, I, for one, used on of your quotes with a Board member yesterday, making the point that we want a world class Board, not just a collection of world class individuals. The whole concept of an effective team and your related insights have many, many applications. You do good work.

I really liked your message and especially liked your genuine, charismatic delivery. If you weren't already told this - you were a tremendous hit!

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your motivational session at our 2014 Global Sales Summit. You truly motivated me with your presentation and life-stories, a great mix of enthusiasm, true grit and humor. I look forward to you impacting my life and career as I learn more about your story.

I cannot thank you enough for speaking at our recent National Convention in Connecticut. I have read your book and am in the process of starting to implement some of your ideas into our teamwork strategy here at Watertech of America, Inc. Thanks again for bringing a whole new meaning to TEAMWORK. I am excited to see its implementation here at Watertech take us to new levels personally, professionally in both our personal and business lives.

Thank you Robyn for your great presentation! You are such an amazing woman and everyone thoroughly enjoyed listening to you. There are many great learnings they are taking with them.

I just wanted to tell you once again that our group thought you did a phenomenal job presenting at our National Sales Meeting. You blended in your experience and message with relatable items to our group's every day lives which was great! You really kicked off our meeting on the right path and many of our attendees came up to rave about you! So thank you!

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.

Robyn, Thank you for a fabulous and outstanding presentation during our C3 Outfitters event this past week in Phoenix. Your presentation style and message really energized the attendees. We heard nothing but great comments and feedback from many of the attendees throughout the week. Your flexibility to work with us on the message, theme and your overall participation was very refreshing and we appreciate all your efforts both prior and during the event. Your presentation was one of the highlights for the event and helped to make this one of our most successful C3 events to-date. Thank you from all of the management team and the C3 committee.

Robyn's background and experience provide us with a unique and much needed perspective for our RealTime participants, and her award winning adventure racing team embodies what it means to be a leader today. We always get an INCREDIBLE response to her 'Building World Class Teams' sessions and adventure events.

THANK YOU for a wonderful, inspiring and uplifting presentation this morning. The buzz around the agency is fantastic, and many people have stopped by my office or sent me mails to tell me how much they liked it, and how much you amazed them.

I am still charged by my experience participating in Robynâ¿¿¿¿s 'AdventureTeambuilding' program, and have put a lot of her team ideas into practice in my business.

The section of "Extreme Team String" that I brought home from our event still hangs in my office as a reminder of so many lessons, including "asking for help is a gift to the helper." I continue to be inspired by my experience with World Class Teams on the beach in San Diego. You made a profound impact in my life! Thank You!

Robyn does a fabulous job of bringing the principles of adventure racing into the corporate environment. She did a great job of customizing her session to meet the needs and objectives of our national management meeting. The audience was riveted and our managers continue to talk about Robyn and the lasting impact she made!

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.

My team had a FANTASTIC time with Robyn and her team. I can not 'glow' about the event enough! Everyone from World Class Teams was wonderful - they really worked with my executives and helped pull them out of their shells and make them work as teams. The events they had us doing were a lot of fun, challenging as well as meaningful for our team to get the most from the event (not to mention hilarious to watch!). The end of the day/wrap up session where we re-grouped on the day's activities and how everyone did also served as a learning lesson. All in all, it was a great experience and we really enjoyed doing it and learning from it. It really did help bring my team together - from my executives that work Internationally and in US Satellite offices, to the people that work together on a daily basis in our LA office. Everyone got a keen sense of 'teamwork' and the challenges really made them bond. Not a bad word was said about the day (other than 'I'm going to be sore tomorrow!').

Our speakers bureau booked Robyn for a client event recently. She received stellar reviews from the client and the audience members. I would highly recommend Robyn to anyone looking for a dynamic, amazing team building speaker that delivers an important message. Robyn is one of our favorites by far!

Robyn was the motivational speaker for our 2011 conference. In the past we have had a few different speakers but this year they had Robyn only and she was awesome - we did not need more then her! Robyn was fun and kept things real. She has helped me to re-focus on whats ahead of me, winning and to have the attitude to do it!!

We are so happy that you were able to speak at our Sales & Marketing meeting. Your messages were inspirational, motivational, and exactly in tune with our strategy. I heard extremely positive reviews from those who attended.

Robyn did a fantastic job of motivating the group and tying her message to the purpose of our meeting. We were focused on creating impact with our strategic initiatives and getting the team rallied behind the right behaviors and attitudes necessary to do so. Robyn was inspriring, entertaining, and challenging! Everyone left the session energized and ready to commit to action and impact. Simply fantastic!

Once in a while, a speaker just captivates you and you can't stop thinking about her message. Robyn Benincasa was that speaker for me this week during the Women's Foodservice Forum (WFF) annual conference...Her session alone would have made this conference worthwhile. That it was accompanied by many other positive aspects of the conference was a bonus.

Robyn's engaging, funny, interactive and CONTENT-RICH presentation to 900 of our school leaders was nothing short of amazing. Her physical strength is NOTHING compared to the strength of her WILL and her HEART. She gave district leaders a new perspective on teamwork and life. Robyn is an inspirational human being and someone who models hard work, integrity, and wellness. Wow. Best. Speaker. Ever.

I think that she was tremendous. More important her presentation was not just inspirational/motivational, but it resonated with all of us, and fit our message. Powerful stuff.

Robyn is a captivating, dynamic speaker with a style that it is both approachable and extremely compelling. While adventure racing and Robyn's exploits are clearly larger-than-life, she is so natural and unassuming that her audiences are readily inspired and eager to put her lessons to work. We have used Robyn as a keynote for groups as large as 550. She has no problem commanding each attendee's attention. She is consistently among our highest rated speakers. We've used, among others, Joe Thiesman, Jerry Linegar (the astronaut), and Ben Carson (the surgeon) for groups as large as 1300. Each has been very good. Robyn is better. Not only is her message as compelling, but her multimedia approach is well suited to very large groups; 1200 or more should be no problem.

When I heard first heard Robyn speak I experienced something I rarely do when listening to a "motivational speaker," I was moved. I think it is probably normal to be touched by hearing someone speak about their life's experiences but for me to be moved was something that had only happened one other time and that was listening to the man who's life the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" was about.

Honestly...and I don't say this often...I'm different because I met you. You're the best...I haven't received ever in my (way too long career) notes about their inspiration. You KNOCKED it out of the park for Lincoln. Thank you and here we go...

AWESOME!!!!! No other way to describe you or the presentation that you gave at our Summit meeting last week. I spent the week listening to a number of people talking about the session, your achievements and how they tied in so well to some of the issues that we are trying to implement on the one hand and overcome on the other. The 8 Human Synergies tied perfectly into the messaging that we had done earlier in the day and we tied a number of your key messages into the next two team building events we did in the afternoon. You were inspiring for me personally and certainly for my team. No doubt you and adventure racing have approximately 140 new fans.

I just wanted to thank you again for your participation at our recent Welk Summit. You turned out to be an exceptional speaker and I'm grateful for the impact you made on our team. The overwhelming response from your presentation was exceptionally positive. Many people emailed me afterwards, especially some of the ladies on our team, grateful for a speaker that connected to them while still showing signs of strength and vulnerability. You, as a speaker, were the perfect fit at the right time.

I attended Robyn's inspirational speech Why Winners Win. I have not stopped thinking about how I can incorporate her ideas not only into my work life but also into my own personal running goals. Her examples of encountering road blocks but continuing to pick herself back up have inspired me to keep going whether it's dealing with a difficult client at work or struggling with my 1/2 marathon training. I have also implemented Robyn's team ideas by collaborating with my successful colleagues, as well as running with and sharing tips with experienced marathoners. I am so grateful to have attended Robyn's speech! It has made me reevaluate the way that I think and live my every day life. One day I want to be the next Robin Benincasa. :-)

RB - Thanks again for your time in Orlando. The "triathlon" was a HUGE success having you there for the opening pep talk, run, ride and photo shoot helped to create the enthusiasm we were going for. And, as always, you nailed it.

You were awesome! Really. Anthonie was very happy and everyone came away thoroughly inspired. Anthonie did say that when you hugged him it was like being hugged by Arnold Schwarzeneger. That was a compliment. :-) I'd ask him why he's been hugging Arnold, but thatâ¿¿¿¿s probably none of my business.

Hey Robyn, Thank you so much for presenting at our sales meeting. I can honestly report that you were a highlight of the week. The team was so jazzed to hear you present. I will be sure to share the link with the team as well since we will definitely be pulling for you. Best of luck in the World Championships!!!

Robyn - I thought I knew the importance of teamwork, but your presentation at our sales meeting drove home just how critical teamwork is in every aspect of life - business and personal! Thank you for bringing this to the forefront of my everyday dealings in life, you reiterated and drove home what I already thought I knew - just magnified it 1000 times. You truly are inspirational. After hearing you speak, I am truly inspired to be a better team member.

Let me say that the feedback we received on your presentation was nothing short of stellar. I have heard a number of motivational speakers and there always seems to be some naysayers. There was not a single dissatisfied customer in this group. People shared that they felt inspired. Many of your messages were repeated throughout the next few days, coming from our President and CEO to my colleagues in the field alike. I can think of no finer form of flattery. It proved to be a perfect program that set a tremendous tone for the rest of our days together.

"I just listened to your session at our Annual Meeting.......I have been in the corporate business space for DECADES and this was hands down the best session on this topic, ever. Thank you!!!"

Robyn spoke at my big US leadership meeting yesterday, and was incredible. She hit a grand slam home run, had the place buzzing and contributed in a very core way to a very successful meeting. Her story, authenticity, message, experience in medical sales and personal experience as a medical device patient all resonated with the team. I am normally skeptical of "motivational speakers," but Robyn was so much more than that. I would recommend her to anyone.

Robyn's story had a huge impact on me and it was very motivating. I admire her strength so much! I used to be a runner and ran 5 miles a day, entered a lot of races and ran my first half marathon a little under 2 hours. I then took a job away from my family and it was a huge adjustment. I had to live separate from my husband and 7 year old daughter for 16 months and I only saw them on the weekends. I lost interest in my running, gained some weight and then got pregnant on top of that weight. My baby girl is 7 months now and I'm struggling to lose the weight. I felt overwhelmed at the point of the Miami conference. The determination I once had was no longer there. I knew that I would need to make some changes to get back to where I was but I didn't know where to start. It was such a blessing to hear Robyn's story when I did. It has motivated me to dig deep and bring back that determination that I once had. I just want to THANK her so much for sharing her story with us and that it shows exactly what our conference was all about. "The Power of One!"

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 Itâ????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.

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 morale has improved 100%. The meeting surveys were all positive and gave you lots of luv for your role in our conference.

Words really can't describe how amazing your presentation was today. Your commitment towards TEAMWORK is truly inspirational. The positive feedback was overwhelming. Not only did so many people come up to me after you spoke, but I also received a ton of e-mails thanking me for having you speak. You truly inspired so many people today. We have had many professional athletes speak over the years, but none of them were as down to earth and approachable as you today. I am very much looking forward to a great partnership with you. Thank You again for sharing your time with us today.

It was very well customized, it felt like she knew us & what we needed to hear, and all our regions felt represented! It's so impactful to hear how "we" all contribute, and are equally critical to adapting, overcoming & winning as one regardless of level/ title. Robyn's presentation was the favorite event!"

"We wanted to have a powerful, engaging, and inspirational opening keynote speaker to kick off the Technical Leadership Summit for our global design and engineering leaders, and WOW, did she ever deliver. Thanks Robyn, you're awesome!"
