Robin Horsfall says

“Never let people tell you what you can't do!”

He promotes self-reliance and determination focusing on taking every opportunity life provides. He refuses to be a victim, rejects self-pity but recognises the steps to success are not inherent. Firm, studied mentorship, and guidance from the best people draw out the best in others. ‘Leadership’ he says, ‘is showing the way, setting a good example with integrity and courage’.

“Do not let others steal your voice”

Self-respect germinates in self-belief. Courage requires an individual to accept the consequences of their actions and stand by them. Standing by those who have courage, refusing to stand by silently while others suffer. Understanding words are weapons, they can heal or kill. Developing words is like developing armour and weapons they provide defences against the brutal, cruel and indifferent.

Why people choose Robin Horsfall

Robin Horsfall considers himself to be an ordinary man who has led an extraordinary life. His true vocation has always been to teach. To impart knowledge to others. He believes teaching is a combination of knowledge and entertainment. ‘A good teacher sings to his class; a good teacher engages nine out of ten students. A great teacher engages and holds the tenth.’

Book Robin for your next event

Robin adapts his message and emphasis to his audience and his client. He can speak for up to ninety minutes on a whole range of subject and add a Q&A or focus on a specific item and work within a tight time frame.

Just by his presence Robin created a buzz around the event, not many can claim to have served with the SAS, and even fewer to have been a part of Op-Nimrod, the 1980 raid that bought an end to the Iranian Embassy siege.

Robin’s speech was thoughtful, tailored to the audience/event, and resonated with all who had the pleasure to hear it. The young men have described the evening variously as ‘one of the best nights of my life so far’, describing Robin’s speech as ‘One of the most important things I’ve heard’. One of the young men explained: ‘Sitting down to listen to someone like that, you expect them to be just a hard man and not talk about feelings. Listening to him has really helped me with the stuff I’ve got going on. I’m so glad I came and I can’t wait to share what he had to say and the advice he gave with my mates. It was really important to me’.

Robin was a great guest and made a real effort to engage with everyone who attended, posing for photographs and signing books cheerfully as if each were the first time he’d been asked. His speech was well thought out and well delivered with a pitch and message that resonated with the event and audience. I can’t recommend Robin enough as a speaker for your event.
