YOU'RE DOING THIS WORK BECAUSE.....

You want to do work with meaning while creating freedom for yourself.

But it's hard...

✔️ You want to grow your business but not your stress + workload 

✔️ You know you're a good coach but you don't know where your next client is coming from

✔️ Everyone comes to you for support + guidance, but who do you go to?

✔️ You know you need to get your message out there (marketing) + enroll people (sales) but don't want to do anything that feels icky

✔️ You have an exciting vision but not the frameworks, methods, and systems to get there


What if there was an easy way to have Dream Clients coming to you? 

I know, it’s a bold statement.

Hey there, I’m Robb....

I’m passionate about helping people grow their businesses but it all means nothing without the human connection & deeper purpose. Before I started focusing on LinkedIn, I got clients from sharing my message + building audiences on Myspace, Facebook, and Instagram. While the platforms may change, the principals remain the same. It's all about how you communicate your message.

Since 2019, I've helped over 410 entrepreneurs + coaches launch & grow.

7 ways to know you have a messaging problem in your coaching business....

When your messaging is off, everything else in your business is more difficult. That's why dialling in a Magnetic Message is where I start with (almost) every client.

And after working with 430+ people from 17 different countries, I've seen the patterns.

So here's 7 signs that your messaging needs some love...

1. YOU FEEL AWKWARD ANSWERING THE “WHAT DO YOU DO” QUESTION.
You dread the question or find yourself feeling embarrassed after trying to answer it.

2. IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN YOUR VALUE WITHOUT A LONG BACKSTORY.
You need 10 minutes to explain what you do + why it matters. 

3. PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO KNOW IF YOU'RE THE COACH FOR THEM.
When folks land on your profile or website they can't quickly identify if you're the coach "for them" or not. That's because your language is too broad ("I help humans transform their life"), because you're showing zero personality, or because you're using too much coachy coach jargon that doesn't mean anything to the average person.

4. YOU'RE ATTRACTING THE WRONG CLIENTS.
The people who reach out either don't align with your values, drain your energy, aren't ready to buy, or are in total crisis mode.

5. YOU'RE NOT PROUD OF YOUR CONTENT, PROFILE, OR WEBSITE. 
The words don't sound like you. Maybe you borrowed language from other coaches, filtering what you say, or hiding who you really are. 

6. YOUR CONTENT GETS ENGAGEMENT BUT YOU DON'T GET INQUIRES.
Claps ain't cash. So even though you're getting likes + comments, you're not getting clients. This means what you're sharing is interesting, but it's missing what makes people take action.

7. WHEN YOU DO GET ON CALLS WITH PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO DO A LOT OF EXPLAINING.
You have to spend a lot of your time on calls explaining, teaching, and maybe even convincing people (instead of the calls being about strategy + if you two are a fit).

If you're feeling any of these and what to chat, DM me messaging.

I'll walk you through my annual planning process to get more clients, make more impact, and have more freedom in 2026.

Get clients, investments and influence by speaking confidently | Public Speaking Coach for entrepreneurs and execs | ex-Fortune 50 | My featured section has a gift for you.

You know who gets the most clients and promotions?

The person who can speak the best.

You might be an expert in your domain.
But if you don't speak with confidence, no one will trust you.

Your career and business will suffer because you struggle to speak powerfully.

Your next client will go to the person who presents better than you.
Your next promotion will go to the person who communicates better than you.
Your investor might pass because they are not convinced of your value and worth.

You’ll feel weak and powerless.

It’s crazy because you have a lot to share with the world.

But your speaking skills let you down.

Here’s the good news:
It doesn’t have to be like that.

Now imagine:
You ace sales calls and win dream projects because you speak with confidence.
You get that promotion because you present with clarity in the boardroom.
You build a powerful brand because the world listens when you speak.

I can help you get there.

I’ve helped 500+ entrepreneurs and execs become confident and effective speakers.

• Entrepreneurs like Wes, who had stage fright and went blank when he was in the spotlight.

• VPs like Sarah, whose voice shook every time she presented in the boardroom. But became a confident speaker working with me and secured 2 leads worth $350,000 for her company.

• LinkedIn creators like Jasmin Alić, Ruben Hassid, Lara Acosta, Sophie Miller, Nigel Thomas, Nicholas Boucher, and Mando Sallavanti III who now speak on big stages with credibility, authority, and influence.

I can help you become a confident, powerful speaker too.

Are you ready to stop missing opportunities and start attracting them?

Public Speaking Coach for stage and camera

I coach entrepreneurs and execs on how to speak on camera with maximum impact, create a powerful brand and grow professionally.

I grew from 1k to 302,000 followers on Instagram. 

In 5 months. This is how it happened: 

This year my goal was to grow beyond LinkedIn. 

Instagram seemed to be the natural choice: 

2 billion users vs 1 billion here. 

But I had already tried posting on instagram last year. 

Repurposing content from LinkedIn. 

No luck. Crickets. 

Then I hired a coach. 

Within 2 weeks we: 

→ Revamped my profile. 
→ Created a content strategy. 
→ Co-wrote scripts for reels geared for high reach. 

(Btw I worked with Alessio Bertozzi. They’re huge on insta). 

The results? 

→ 300,000+ new followers in 5 months. 
→ Doubled my mailing list. 
→ Sold out my cohort. 

This is the difference a coach can make. 

Without a coach: 
I would have struggled for months. And given up. 

With a coach: 
I now share my message with 300,000+ more people. 

Amateurs try to DIY alone. 
Pros go to the experts for coaching. 

P.S. Do you have a coach? Yes/no?

I’m a married woman in my early 40s. So I get asked: 

“Why don’t you have children?” 

This question can only ever have two answers: 

1. “Why is it any of your business?” 
2. “Because I…why is it any of your business?” 

The truth is: 

When someone asks you a personal question, 
What they’re really asking is: 

“Why aren’t you playing by the same rules as me?” 

They don’t always wish for you to succeed. 

They only want you to play the same game as them. 

So the moment you start playing your own game, 
Living by your own rules: 

You break free. 

You can choose what success looks like for you. 

For some, it might be having kids. 
For others, it might be traveling the world. 
Or being your own boss. 

Don’t let other people’s idea of success dictate yours. 

Find the game you want to play and play it. 
Unapologetically. 

P.S. What’s something exciting you’re working on?

Your body speaks before you do (even on Zoom). 

These 5 gestures can damage your first impression: 

Once you master body language, you can: 

→ Project confidence. 
→ Build trust instantly. 
→ Persuade and influence anyone. 

You see, perception matters. 

In every meeting, presentation, and interaction. 

When you learn to communicate without speaking, 

You become a top 1% communicator. 

The video below shows two types of body language. 

Which one do you think creates the most impact? 

♻️ Repost if you found this video helpful. 

P.S. Follow me Nausheen to never miss another video.

The 4 words that instantly win trust and deals: 

(Top 1% communicators keep this a secret) 

The 4 words are: 
“Is there a way…” 

Them: “This is too hard.” 
You: “Is there a way we can make this easier?” 

Them: “This is too expensive.” 
You: “Is there a way to make this worth your investment?” 

Them: “This is not working out. I’m leaving.” 
You: “Is there a way to make it work for you?” 

(Ok try the last one only when it’s worth it ;)) 

To win, you don’t need to be louder or more assertive. 
To win, you need to let the other person win too. 

P.S. Will you try this out this week? Yes/no?

The world's top 1% leaders don't speak to inform. 

They speak to connect. This is how: 

Ex-President Obama was a trained speaker. 

Throughout his career, he’s been: 

- Heckled. 
- Asked tricky questions. 
- Challenged by hostile audiences. 

Once someone started yelling in the middle of his talk. 

Want to see how he dealt with the disruption? 

Check out the video for a break down of his reaction. 

Remember: 
Leaders don't focus on the noise in the crowd. 
They focus on the calm in their mind. 

P.S. Who is your favorite speaker of all time?

I grew up in a developing country with a single mother. 

She taught me: “You’re no less than a man”. 

This was in a place where: 

- Girls often got married off in their teens. 
- Women had to dress, think, act conservatively. 
- To be “respected” you had to be a wife or a mother. 

But my mom made it “safe” and normal for me to: 

- Get a job instead of getting married. 
- Have strong opinions and talk publicly about them. 
- Never apologize for who I was or who I wanted to be. 

Raising me against the “norms”, mom faced criticism. 

“You’ve given Nausheen too much freedom” 

But as a result, I: 

- Explored the world and traveled to 20+ countries. 
- Bootstrapped a startup to $1M in revenue. 
- Spoke on global stages like TEDx. 

Now I coach CEOs with 10x more privilege than me. 

You are never limited by your gender, race or age. 

You are only limited by your mind. 

Once you realize this, you become unstoppable. 

P.S. What was most interesting about your childhood?

I just spoke at Web Summit with 70,000 attendees. 

Here are 5 weird lessons I learned: 

1. The “SPEAKER” badge gives you instant credibility: 
→ People see you’re “pre-selected” for your expertise. 

2. Speaking on stages is great, networking is better: 
→ The real magic happens in 1:1 conversations after. 

3. Use your talk as your calling card when networking: 
→ Ask new people you meet to come see you speak. 

4. Express genuine interest, show real enthusiasm: 
→ If you “fake” interest in someone, they will know it. 

5. Have a networking strategy before you attend: 
→ Then invest time in having real conversations. 

Every single event is an opportunity: 
New collaborators, potential clients and connectors. 

Start speaking on stages to be visible. 
Start networking to be remembered. 

P.S. Do you love or hate “networking”?

I’ve coached 500+ CEOs to speak confidently. 

This is the #1 mistake I see them make: 

They get “confidence” wrong. 

Most people think confidence is “acting” a certain way. 

But to have unshakeable confidence, you have to dive deeper. 

Here are 3 layers of confidence to master: 

1. How to look confident: 

→ Get rid of the poker face - use expressions. 
→ Use open gestures and maintain great posture. 
→ Take up space physically and in the camera frame. 

2. How to sound confident: 

→ Enunciate clearly and emphasize keywords. 
→ Use stories to engage your audience emotionally. 
→ Vary your pitch, pacing, pauses to retain attention. 

3. How to feel confident: 

→ Warm up beforehand to get “in the zone”. 
→ Practice and create a positive feedback loop. 
→ Reframe nerves as excitement to share and help. 

Confidence isn’t putting on a “show”. 

Confidence is a state of being. 

Once you look, sound and feel confident on the inside, 
You become unforgettable anywhere you go. 

Follow me Nausheen to learn genuine confidence. 

♻️ Repost this so more people feel confident. 

P.S. Do you have any role models? Yes/No?

#1 mistake people make in high-stakes conversations: 

They don’t “own” the room. This is how to fix it: 

When you walk into a: 

- Raise negotiation 
- Pitch meeting with an investor 
- Or even a charged conversation with your in-laws 

You’re walking into a potentially dangerous situation. 

Best case you win. 
But worst case, you walk away feeling defeated. 

Most people focus on getting the words right. 

But here’s what actually makes the difference: 

Your “presence” in the room. 

→ How well you can read others. 
→ How you make others feel seen and heard. 
→ What you communicate with body language. 

I collaborated with my friend Andrea Petrone, the CEO’s leadership coach to share our best strategies. 

When you learn how to make your presence felt, 
You can turn losing battles into conquests. 

P.S. Had a tough conversation lately? Yes/no?

How to win high stakes conversations

Your body language can undermine your reputation. 

This is how to fix it: 

The way you stand. 
The way you move your hands. 
And even the way you make eye contact. 

It can make or break your message. 

Here's how you can master your body language: 

→ On camera: 

Make eye contact with the camera. 
Keep your hands visible to emphasize. 
Frame yourself at eye-level to convey confidence. 

→ In person or on stage: 

Keep your feet shoulder-width apart to project stability. 
Move purposefully to keep your audience engaged. 
Use expansive gestures to convey your authority. 

→ Anywhere: 

Smile naturally to build rapport and show warmth. 
Use open body language to show approachability. 
Vary your gestures to keep communication dynamic. 

Remember, 
Your body speaks louder than your words. 

Master body language to become unforgettable. 

♻️ Repost to help others improve at non-verbal cues. 

And follow me Nausheen to communicate better. 

P.S. What's your favorite tip from this cheatsheet?

This CEO was deathly scared of presentations. 

He now speaks like a top 1% communicator: 

Wes is an extraordinary leader: 

At 50, he left his tech job to become an entrepreneur. 

He had 30+ years of expertise in productivity. 

But he lacked the speaking skills to: 

→ Express his ideas with ease 
→ Make unforgettable first impressions 
→ Close the deal by proving his expertise 

In fact, he was so scared of speaking to an audience - 

That he would just freeze up. 

We worked together to get him unstuck. 

→ He now speaks on top podcasts. 
→ Does webinars for companies like Thinkific. 
→ Can speak without any scripts or preparation. 

Check out his amazing progress in this video - the first part took me by surprise.
