About Robin
Storytelling is the thread that runs throughout Robin Bayley’s life. Following a successful fifteen-year career in the advertising and television industries, he decided he wanted to tell his own stories and wrote an internationally-acclaimed non-fiction book about… storytelling.
It was when he was speaking at literature festivals and events around the world that he discovered the true power of spoken stories, and the magic of creating a connection with an audience. People began to ask him to help them tell their stories, and this has become his calling; to empower people to say what they need to say, in the way they need to say it.
He has coached high-profile personalities, TEDx speakers, campaigners, senior executives and emerging leaders, individually and in workshops, everywhere from Sydney to Silicon Valley and Madrid to the Middle East.
Robin is founder and head coach at Keynote Doctor, He trained as a coach with the internationally renowned Coaches Training Institute in 2015. He is a leadership and communications coach at Ginger Leadership Communications, and co-hosted The Story Party storytelling event in London for over two years.
