Robertson Shine

Having created my own training company, Robertson Shine in 1994, with publishing clients in three continents, I became increasingly close to Malcolm Gladwell’s famous milestone of 10,000 hours on my feet, facilitating, training, and speaking on a wide range of issues, unfailingly connected in some way with customers and their needs.

I worked with the Australian team on the launch of OK Magazine in Australia, helping them secure critical space in Australian supermarkets, something previously unheard of for a singleton publisher. I also worked with publishers in Dubai, Turkey, the UK, France and Australia before realising I was spending more time away from Australia than in it.

That work added to my experience of the board room, both as chair, member and presenter and I have chaired and facilitated major international conferences here and overseas.
