Mike Robinsonis a seasoned Toastmaster and our past
District 21 Governor (2006). He is a certified communication skills trainer in N.Z. He has given over 100 talks on the radio, fronted two TV shows and spoken in venues as serious as being an expert witness in a court case, to as rowdy as a vaudeville show.
In business he runs an international engineering and sales company with projects on every continent (including Antarctica), and flies over 100,000 miles per year.
You may have heard of him as the District Governor who distributed 6000 red socks as performance incentives…so expect an education session from him (on Evaluation) to be anything but standard fare.
Thought provoking - yes, audience involving - oh yes, and entertaining - certainly yes, but not standard:Mr. Red Socks doesn't do standard.
