Robert didn't just bring his extensive knowledge to the table; he brought empathy and a wealth of experience that's tangible in every interaction.

Under his tutelage, my rates have doubled, and the feedback from clients has gone from good to incredible.

-Maame Nikabs

Inclusive Language Advisor

"Before enrolling in Robert Carrow's 'How to Develop and Deliver Winning Presentations' workshop, public speaking was my greatest fear. I was so paralyzed by this fear that I considered skipping the final presentation day altogether. However, Robert's unique anchoring techniques helped me tap into times when I was a high performer, allowing me to overcome my anxiety.

With the skills and confidence Robert instilled in me, I not only showed up but delivered a presentation that far exceeded my expectations. If you're struggling with public speaking anxiety, I can't recommend Robert's workshop enough. He doesn't just teach you how to speak; he teaches you how to believe in your own ability to captivate an audience."

-Minna Mah

"In my long academic career, I became proficient at speaking to captive audiences—students who had to listen. But as I transition into a new chapter, speaking to people who want to listen, I knew I needed to elevate my skills. That's why I chose Robert Carrow's comprehensive program. It covers all aspects of public speaking, from speech organization to voice intonation and even non-verbal cues like hand movements.

I got everything I wanted from the course, and more. Robert delivers on his promise to transform you into an exceptional speaker. If you're looking to captivate your audience, regardless of the setting, I wholeheartedly recommend Robert Carrow's program."

-Dr. Ron Kaiser, Professor

"As the 'Expert Maker,' I've built a career on providing top-notch expertise, so when I was selected for a TED Talk, I knew I couldn't leave anything to chance. That's why I reached out to Robert Carrow. With his thousands of hours of speaking experience, I knew he was the coach I needed to make an impact on that stage.

From our very first session, Robert demonstrated his skill and deep understanding of the art of public speaking. Although my speech was already drafted, he meticulously helped me rearrange its elements for better flow, seamless transitions, and maximum impact. Beyond just the technical aspects, Robert shared invaluable stage philosophy, empowering me to present myself in the most compelling way possible.

But what I appreciate most is the confidence Robert instilled in me. I walked onto that TED stage knowing my speech was the best it could possibly be, thanks to Robert's coaching. If you're looking for a transformative public speaking experience, look no further than Robert Carrow."

-Ross Miller-Choice

The Expert Maker

"As someone who's worked with Robert Carrow in various capacities—as a trainer, speaker, and consultant—I can attest to his extraordinary skill level. But what sets Robert apart isn't just his competence; it's his 'meta knowledge,' his understanding of why he's so good at what he does. This enables him not just to excel, but to replicate that excellence, tailoring it to the specific needs of his audience. In my career, I've come across what's known as 'unconscious competence,' where you're good at something but may not understand why. Robert transcends this—he's not just unconsciously competent; he's consciously masterful. He leads study clusters designed to elevate even seasoned trainers, and he's the go-to trainer for new speakers at major speaking organizations. With Robert, you're not just getting a skilled trainer; you're gaining access to someone who understands the nuances of effective communication and can adapt it seamlessly to meet your needs. I can't recommend him highly enough."

-Sherry Prindle

-Dr. Susan Mynatt Harrison

TV Personality & Professional Speaker

"Before I met Robert Carrow, I admired speakers who effortlessly commanded attention, no matter the topic. They seemed to have a formula, a guidance that I lacked. As a Marketing and Systems Strategist, I understand the power of a well-executed plan, but translating that understanding to public speaking was a challenge. Then I enrolled in one of Robert's programs. In just a few sessions, he demystified the art of powerful communication for me.

Robert's unique approach to storytelling not only captivated me but also provided me with actionable insights to enhance my own presentations. From mastering the tone, pace, and style of my voice to crafting magnetic intros and impactful closes, Robert broke it all down into easy-to-follow steps. What I appreciate most is his knack for simplifying complex concepts, making them immediately applicable.

Today, thanks to Robert, I can articulate my ideas more compellingly, hold my audience's attention, and inspire action. His coaching has been transformative, equipping me with practical skills for immediate results. If you're looking to take your public speaking to the next level, I cannot recommend Robert Carrow highly enough.

-Brent Pye

Professional Speaker

I contracted with Robert to coach me in increasing my sales revenue and improving my presentation skills. Robert understood my unique personality and was able to tailor his coaching style to help me to be successful. On one occasion he came to a site where I was presenting, which was not home for him nor I to observe my presentation style and to demonstrate how I could improve. This was invaluable for me. I increased my sales from our first session and will continue to use the tools he provides.”

His expertise is evident in every aspect of his delivery—he captivated me for the entire duration of his talk, which is no small feat as I'm easily distracted.

“Robert demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and integrity in the short period we worked together and contributed many new ideas to our group of supervisors and managers. Robert is an excellent trainer and I recommend him without reservation!”

-Robin Marley, SPHR

Human Resources Director

City of Fernandina Beach

“I am writing this correspondence as my personal endorsement of Robert Carrow and his recent assistance to my agency. I had arranged for leadership training to be conducted this year within our department. The supervisory staff in our agency had received many hours of in-service and supplemental training but the leaders had not benefited from group training. I felt it critical that my entire command and supervisory staff receive this training at the same time. I communicated at length with Robert as to our specific goals and problems. He brought a package that addressed all of this and more. Our agency grew in the fact that as the material was presented you could see your counterparts and peers absorbing these new skills as you were. Robert brought his law enforcement experience to bear but did not trip over it. He made it clear that successful people have people skills. He made it clear that this formula was valid in law enforcement as well as the business markets. I would be glad to speak to any agency that is considering utilizing Robert for future seminars.”

-Kevin Palmer

Chief of Police

City of Winchester

“Robert Carrow was selected to be the Keynote speaker for our 81st annual Florida Public Human Resources Association (FPHRA) conference and he also facilitated a whole-day intensive session for our HR masters track.

Robert is surely one of the most effortlessly competent, intelligent and professional people I personally have ever met. His passion for motivating change and goal achievement is evident in his dynamic and energetic style by which he shares his knowledge with the audience. Robert presented an entire day’s worth of motivational and inspirational material and engaged his audience without the typical “reading from the PowerPoint” style that so many speakers become dependent upon. I unreservedly recommend this excellent coach and presenter to anyone contemplating a similar workshop or speaking engagement.”

-Jack Loring, President

Florida Public Human Resources Association (FPHRA)

“Robert, thank you again for your well received presentation at the annual ECA members meeting on Leadership.

All the comments I received were A++, with comments about how you tailored your educational message to our industry and how you were interesting, funny and dynamic in your delivery. You met and exceeded all our expectations and we look forward to having you speak at future events.”

-Don Taylor

Rob created an atmosphere of electricity, excitement, and encouragement which has persisted since the workshop.

Many of the assistants have put into practice positive changes to enhance their roles. Truly awesome!”

Specifically, information on assessing customer/member personality styles before we try to sell to needs was especially enlightening. You inspired our employees to go deeper and learn about the member’s true issue, ask key questions, then move forward to solve problems. You did an exceptional job at addressing our needs! Our folks were glued to every word and your uplifting and entertaining style made the day breeze by. We look forward to working with you again!”

“I would like to take a moment to personally thank you for coming to the National Geographic Society to conduct your seminar on becoming better communicators. I have attended several seminars of the same topic (with different instructors) and did not get a lot out of them. When I went to Baltimore to attend your seminar, I left there feeling like I could communicate and get the most from anyone! I knew my team would also have the same experience if I could get you to do an in-house class.

Fast forward a few months, I was able to get you to come to NGS. I was hopeful my team would get even halve as much from the class as I did, as some were not there voluntarily. I was amazed that every single person in the group was extremely happy to have gotten the opportunity to meet and attend your seminar! Since you have left, I have noticed a difference in the communication level with my team! Thank you again, you are truly an excellent, energetic speaker who knows how to keep everyone’s interest, and teach them how to become better communicators.”

-Frank Candore

“I attended Robert’s Communication workshop last fall. I had attended a similar workshop 20 years ago. Being young at the time, I failed to realize the importance of different communication styles & the significant effect my style (direct) has on other people & my work. Robert is very insightful & energetic. He pegged me as a direct communicator the moment I walked into the room! He is an engaging coach & instructor & brings great enthusiasm & positivity to the discussion. The workshop was much more than I expected & this time the message stuck. My learning was elevated as a result of Robert’s facilitation of the class and the interactive tactics he uses to coach others. I highly recommend his services.”

-Stacy Meadows

“Robert. Just a quick e-mail to let you know I am still using the techniques I acquired. I had a redress with my superiors yesterday prior to the redress I had been listening to the CD’s about resolving conflict while I travel. The session lasted 4 hours. Prior to the session I wrote a resolution to the situation. After having discussed all of the issues that needed to be addressed, I had almost forgotten about the resolution. In my one on one with the mediator I remembered the resolution, whipped it out for her review, discussed a few changes and basically got what I wanted from the session. Now that’s not only God but reinforced training as you reiterated in your training. Again, I say thank you!”

-Yasmin Harris

I have continued to read and re-read each day with the exception of one because I was traveling to pick up my sick grandson. Applying the principles, you taught and reading the book has assisted me in being more proactive than I have been in a long time. I see the results of the reinforced training. At present I am concentrating on a mission statement and trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. Again, thank you so much for your teaching and motivation.”

Your class on last Thursday and Friday was truly outstanding. When I got to prayer on Saturday, the elder’s scripture was based on the one you used about the keys. What a confirmation. You were sent as an angel to me. Not only did you minister to me in the working world, but my own personal life as well. Please know that you are a blessing to many of people Robert, and your passion for what you do is so obvious. Thanks again and may the peace of God and his FAVOR MANIFEST in your everyday life.”
