"We were searching for a keynote speaker to deliver an engaging session at our company’s annual Leadership Meeting. We wanted a speaker who could tailor their subject matter to fit our company culture and group dynamics, and Joe’s presentation did just that. He hit a home run with our team. I would highly recommend him for others seeking a down-to- earth, creative speaking professional who will leave you with tactics and strategies that can be implemented immediately."
“THANK YOU for your time and expertise! The team has raved about the sessions and, as a Business Management Team, we are actively working on adjustments to our business practices to try and operationalize some of the learnings! We REALLY enjoyed the time together and would highly recommend the sessions to other companies. Thank you for making the program available to companies of our size! It’s a difference-maker!"

We all left with tools and tactics we could utilize immediately to live a more fulfilling life personally and professionally."
“Joe presented at our annual conference, speaking to board members, senior leadership, and clinicians. Members are still talking about his presentation on work-life balance. Talk about speaking the truth. It was like being in church with all the 'Amen's' and 'YESes.' Joe is an inspiration, and we have all committed to making personal changes after his show!"
“First and foremost, it was a pleasure working with Joe. Joe is one of those speakers who shows a deep understanding for his content. He is engaging with a unique presentation format. We were pleasantly surprised that we had more than half of our Associates show up for this early morning (voluntary) seminar. Not only did Joe keep the energy high, but he also provided real life examples and tools leaving the attendees motivated and recharged!"

"Joe's training was ideal—and perfectly timed for our needs and workforce. The feedback from managers was universally positive!"
“As we are almost a year into the pandemic, we felt a seminar on work-life balance was a perfect fit for our Ocean Spray virtual offsite event. Joe did a great job engaging the audience, even in the virtual world, through different exercises and breakout groups. It was a great session, and our group learned a lot of useful tactics to bring to the company! Thank you Joe!"
“Your talk included useful and important information presented clearly and cleverly, along with a nice touch of audience engagement. The audience learned something and enjoyed the experience.

"I personally took away a lot from your program that I can apply to my day-to-day and work-life, so I am so happy to have found you to present for Xenon Pharmaceuticals.

“As co-chair of the Fall Conference, I was very nervous regarding how my peers would receive the information from the training. We all work in fast-paced stressful work settings. Everyone kept commenting on how wonderful the training was and how interactive it was. Some told me about which tips they were going to use right away. I felt the same and, on my drive home after the conference I was speaking to my daughter and shared a few tools she could use in her everyday life as a college student. I highly recommend this training for everyone."
“Joe Robinson provided a well-rounded and engaging workshop for our leadership team. Every participant walked away with new tools to improve mental balance at work and at home and a new motivation to work smarter and live better."
Most of us work in a style that isn’t based on research or the science of productivity.
