Testimonials
The Larapyn Group was a natural fit for The Food Depository’s Employee Day learning session. Robyn and her team created a fun and engaging experience for very large groups and were a pleasure to work with throughout the process of planning and executing the program. Many employees remarked that they felt like their session (“A Taste of Improv”) was fun, energizing, and they felt confident participating. We look forward to working with Robyn and her team on future opportunities!
Maggie Baran, Director of Talent Management
Robyn and The Larapyn Group designed and delivered a phenomenal learning event for our Leadership Masters Program. She led a master class on how to deliver compassionate feedback. The session not only gave us a new tool kit that we continue to use, it allowed us to bond in a such a fun way. We laughed as much as we learned. It’s possible that we learned even more because we had so much fun! I hold Robyn and her work in high regard – I trust that she will deliver every time, because I have seen it with my own eyes. She is a true professional, performer, and creator of impactful experiential education. And, additionally, she is an exceptional human - empathetic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a joy to work with.
Ekpedeme "Pamay" M. Bassey, Chief Learning & Diversity Officer
“I’ve always believed that you learn more when you are having fun, and working with The Larapyn Group brings that theory to life. Tackling the subject of candor and feedback was anything but boring with Robyn and Becca. It was refreshing to cover such an important and challenging subject with such joyous laughter. The interactive exercises provided an opportunity for our participants to bring a framework to life through practice. I was amazed how quickly The Larapyn Group was able to teach a concept giving learners plenty of time to explore and try out new techniques through guided activities. Our participants left the session with great memories and practical tools to bring back to their day-to-day interactions.”
Stacey Johnson, Head of Leadership & Culture
“We used The Larapyn Group for an executive team retreat this year. We had fun, learned a lot about each other, and took away practical skills for improving communication among the team and for larger audiences. The Larapyn Group also helped me prepare for a keynote speech. The personal coaching session gave me valuable feedback and concrete tools for preparation and delivery. Most importantly, the session helped with my confidence the day of and the speech went great!”
Michele A. Berg, Chief Operating Officer
“Working with The Larapyn Group has been an amazing experience. They were easy to work with and professional. Our work together included 3 group sessions and 16 private coaching sessions, and all went off beautifully. It was evident at each session that significant advanced preparation had been done. Feedback from participants was without exception positive. Participating in executive presence group sessions and private coaching can be daunting to some people, but the folks at The Larapyn Group always put participants at ease. Participants had lots of fun and experienced significant learnings as well. I cannot say enough about what a positive experience working with The Larapyn Group has been.”
Jennifer Herold, Senior Manager of Zell Fellows
“I've seen Robyn coach our CEO and our Executive Management Team. She has also led a session for the 100+ members of my team. Robyn has a unique ability to teach concepts and inspire real improvement. She has shown me how to reach within myself to be a better, more powerful presenter. I have both respect and thanks for her work.”
David Alexander, Chief Communications Officer
“The Larapyn Group was an excellent choice for our event with graduate level healthcare chaplaincy students! The facilitator (Robyn) collaborated with the program committee to understand her audience, and accurately tailored her presentations to meet our goals. One participant wrote, “Thank you for the creative, insightful, playful, fun, and meaningful day! The students fully engaged with vulnerability, honesty and self-exploration that will benefit their ministry.”
Rev. Susan J. Gullickson, MS, DMin, ACPE Certified Educator
“Robyn has been an exceptional coach. She is very knowledgeable, personable and patient. Her advice and coaching were extremely helpful on all aspects of public speaking: speech content, preparation, practice, delivery techniques, pre-speech warmup and on-stage presence. In short, I am a much better public speaker due to Robyn’s help and efforts, particularly with respect to TED-type speeches before large audiences. Can’t compliment her enough!”
John Hewko, Chief Executive Officer and General Secretary
“The Larapyn Group’s ability to capture the essence of an organization and then craft it into an interactive program is unmatched. I have worked with many presenters who promise this ability. In Robyn, WE truly experienced this. IT is a gift. Robyn has it.”
Deb Guy, Executive Director
“The Larapyn Group hosted a Group Session for our leadership team and cohort of student-entrepreneurs. The experience was exceptional! We learned tips to improve our professional presence and practiced our new skills in real-time, which allowed us to get feedback from each other as well as from Robyn. The session was not only educational but fun. I highly recommend inviting Robyn and The Larapyn Group to work with your team.”
Jamie Jones, Adjunct Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship
“Robyn was great! It was so nice to be interactive instead of just listening to someone talk. I learned some new ways to be more intentional in my listening and responding more effectively. Those that didn’t make it really missed out on some good information.”
Laura Peccarelli, Property Manager
“I enjoyed learning about different communication styles in a fun and interactive way. Robyn was engaging from start to finish and the exercises provided a great opportunity to get to know unfamiliar faces and connect in a new way with those I already knew.”
Meghan Kimmell, Assistant Asset Manager
“[The Larapyn Group's Keynote] was a very enjoyable and informational event! Robyn Scott’s use of humor to portray different communication types that span the generations was not only refreshing, but also engaging. Taking the exercises we did and expanding upon them will really help me in talks with my tenants, contractors, and coworkers making communication more fluid.”
Sara Creech, Property Manager
“The Emerging Leaders put on another fantastic event where Robyn Scott used her witty humor to get the whole room interacting, laughing, and having fun - all while learning how to grow our skills in listening and engaging others!”
