I have been lucky to deliver 500+ keynotes, workshops and event hosting around the world.
I've worked with corporates like Samsung, ASML, and Virgin as well as big brands like Airbnb, Tony's Chocolonely & Fiverr. I've also been invited to many schools, clubs, communities including a mosque on an island in Myanmar and a CIA conference in Las Vegas!
I've consistently received positive feedback about the energy, stories and insights I bring which have led to changes implemented, connections made and even some giant leaps.

Lessons in building eco communities in remote regions.
"One day the world will come to Vorovoro!"
"I met you when I was 7 on Vorovoro Island. I wasn't old enough to appreciate it but the experience easily became the most important of my life. I'm now in my second year of my Environmental Management Degree and I've been obsessed with protecting our natural world since being on the island ." Robbie Cale
