Robyn Benincasa REVIEWS
"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."

"Robyn, you presented recently at an ExxonMobil GREF conference in the Woodlands Conference centre. I was the somewhat star-struck Brit that came up to you afterwards to ask about Project Athena.
I was very impressed by your story, your enthusiasm and the way you had channelled your experiences into such an effective team building message. When I got home I bought your book and finished reading it last night. It had two immediate impacts on me; it made the talk that you gave come flooding back into my consciousness (which was great); but it also give me inspiration on how to run a workshop I have with my team coming up soon. They are going through a tough time (not like your tough times, but in the context of our work they have too much to do, with too little time, and they are not sure how to start).
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for the pleasure of listening to you, thanks for finding out that I am a "We" thinker (I didn't know that), and thanks for how I know the workshop is going to go."

"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."

"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 look forward to watching you race again in your upcoming event.
My very best regards and thanks.
Just Awesome!"

"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!')."

"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."
