“Eloquent, powerful, inspirational, motivating, fabulous storyteller! Those are some of the words that came to mind when describing how the Legg Mason Capital Management group felt about Robin Gerber and her talk. This is the 3rd time I’ve heard Robin speak and once again, I walk away learning something new, and being inspired!”
Mary-Susan Donhauser

“Thank you for sharing so beautifully at our conference on volunteerism and service. Your talk added a different perspective and lots of value to our corporate track and for that I am most grateful.”
Neil Bush
Chairman, Points of Light

“Eight-hundred attendees at the AAUW National Convention in New Orleans gave Robin Gerber a standing ovation!”
American Association of University Women (AAUW)

“Thanks for sharing the details of your book and the story of Ms. Graham at the Penn Club yesterday. I measure the success of my learning when I attend a seminar or training program by the number of quotable “quotes” I am able to jot down. I recorded over ten that you mentioned. Great material for thought.” Michael Miller, HR Director, Dow Jones Company
