"AS GOOD AS IT GETS"

Everyday, regardless of the difficulties
and challenges we confront, is...
AS GOOD AS IT GETS

Stories from Robin's three Around the World yacht races demonstrate that with determination, attitude, and perseverance, we all successfully can meet the everyday challenges life presents.

He shows how difficulties can be translated into challenge and achievement, and that the same elements of determination, perseverance, goal setting, "can do" attitude, and realistic optimism apply as equally to the school room and students as they do to the solo sailor and an Around the World sailing race.

Focusing on the attributes of self-esteem, self-determination, and strength of character, his story proves that we all can and should have dreams and goals, and no matter what our backgrounds are, we all have the ability to achieve great things.

Robin's presentation is backed up by exceptional slides and video clips and is designed to capture the imagination of students from kindergarten through graduate school.

The structure and content of Robin's presentation is tailored to meet the grade, age level, and unique needs of each audience.

Teachers, staff, faculty, and parents have all found Robin's speeches just as motivating and inspiring as students have, and Robin often is invited back to school districts for staff and faculty training and in-sevice days.

For high schools and colleges, his message-rich presentation leaves students with something to think about and ponder long after the presentation ends.

For middle school students, the presentation focuses on their personal decision-making responsibilities.

For elementary school grades, the presentation is a visual experience of pictures, stories that capture their imaginations, and simple, straightforward messages that students can apply immediately in their everyday home and school lives.
