“Robin’s insight is extraordinary. He is clearly Europe’s leading communication coach.”
Robin is a trusted advisor to business and political leaders around the world
He is a global keynote speaker, best-selling author, podcaster, actor and respected executive coach. He has over thirty years’ experience studying and speaking on The Art of Communication.
His career sits at the intersection of communication and performance. As an actor, he learned that every line, every movement, every pause only works when it is powered by clear intention. As a conference keynote speaker and executive coach, he brings this same principle to audiences and senior leaders. Whether addressing a boardroom, running a meeting, or holding a one-to-one conversation, the rule is the same: your message can only land when your intention is clear.
Robin is the author of the best-selling book Speak So Your Audience Will Listen and the host of The Art of Communication podcast, which has been downloaded over a million times. He is also a regular media commentator, with contributions to The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

Approach
Robin’s approach always begins with understanding ‘the why’. From there, we can build on everything else, executive presence, charisma, confident delivery, influence, and authentic connection.
Most executive communication coaching work focuses on technique, body language, tone of voice, and message structure. All these, of course, are hugely important. But without a crystal-clear understanding of the intention, technique alone will appear empty.
Robin starts by creating a deep understanding of both the needs and mind-set of the audience that he, or his client, is speaking to. Only once that intention is clear, can the structure and delivery take flight.
Beyond the work
From actor to communication coach: a journey of passion and dedication. Robin began his career as an actor and is well-known to audiences on television and the London stage.
Robin has been an actor for over 30 years, being a regular face on TV in dramas and sit-coms, and on the London stage in plays from Shakespeare to Oscar Wilde. He is a recognisable voice over artist and was the MC of the ATP World Tour Finals for 12 years at The 02 Arena in London.
When Robin is not coaching, you’ll find him on the tennis court, walking in the countryside, exploring a museum, travelling or going to the theatre. Because being intentional isn’t only for the boardroom or the conference stage, it’s a way of being present in how we live our lives, and how we connect and engage with the world every day.
