Personal Radio Coaching
Personal clients Robin has worked with include presenters on: XFM London, BBC, Key 103, Absolute Radio, Rock FM, Heart FM, Capital FM, Clyde 1, Real Radio, Kiss 100, Virgin Radio (international), Galaxy, Signal 1 and a load more!
Please take a moment to read this, it will save you time and money:
Before you ever shell out your ‘hard-earned’ for ANY course, training or consultancy ask yourself; “is the person who will be training me making a lot of money from what they are teaching, or have they ever got to the top of their game”? Seriously, it’s that easy!
If the answer is “No” then watch out because they are probably just after your cash, spouting the same ‘failure blueprint’ that sees them now trying to relieve you of your money and time. Seriously you would not believe how many so called Radio Pro’s there are with no discernible track record setting up Radio Courses and consulting… whether you spend your money with Robin or whomever, ALWAYS ask yourself the above question first – and do your homework!
If you want radio coaching and to take the first step to becoming a real Radio Star or interested in Robins radio consulting then fill in the contact form below and let’s get started:
The quotes (some from Radio Presenters he has coached, some not) are from those who agreed to have a starring role on this website!

“I’ve never met a presenter who cared about their work – or redefined creativity – more than Robin. By turns charming, engaging and infuriating he’s one of the great talents of his generation.” John Collins – Ex-Beat 106 PC. Now Radio Lecturer at Reid Kerr University and Radio Consultant, Scotland.
Robin has trained and coached a lot of Radio Talent from all across the globe. He offers complete confidentiality, so that way your boss thinks that it’s you that is sounding brilliant with zero help!
“Robin showed me even the basics can be sensational and his advice helped take my career in a direction I’d never dared dream about. His enthusiasm for great broadcasting is infectious.” Colin Kelly – Presenter, Clyde 1 and STV, Scotland.
- He trains either face to face, over Skype, on the telephone or over email (whatever suits you best).
“A great communicator, who is entertaining, inspiring, and non- threatening. If you want your passion reignited for on-air, he’s got the rocket fuel* to get you started.” Olga Kaye – Cool FM. *Webmasters note: Olga is in no way talking about illegal substances!!**
- Runs and tutors National Lottery funded Radio workshops.
“I cannot recommend Robin enough. Our Radio Courses are Lottery funded and everyone is thrilled with the results and dedication he has shown with some particularly difficult students! His way with the students is amazing and they always come out delighted. Thanks for all your hard work we look forward to working with you again soon.” Dave Miller – Chairman, Superstation, Orkney.
- Remember this is your career and you need to invest in it! In any other career or job you would be sent on courses or training days. Broadcasting is (or should be) no different!
“Robin has a great way of teaching you without making it seem like actual teaching, and he was good fun to be around. I’d recommend his course to anyone interested in working in radio, as long as they can stand Robin’s unique sense of humour!” Craig Horton – Lottery Funded Radio Workshop Attendee Aug’ 2009.
- He holds (and sells out) Radio Presenter Workshops all over the country; London, Manchester, Belfast and Glasgow. Also in Ireland.
“Robin really is a breath of fresh air and a unique talent. He knows ALL the tricks of the trade and has the experience and industry insight to make any radio presenter better at their craft. His limitless energy and enthusiasm make him a real pleasure to work with. If you don’t learn something valuable from Robin you really aren’t listening hard enough.” Wayne Clark – Head of TXmediasuite Show prep service.
- Having been in Radio for over 20 years he does knows a thing or two. “Radio is easy, people who don’t know what they’re talking about make it so hard”, Banks says. “My coaching deals with the psychology of being on the radio. You will not hear this stuff anywhere else!”
“He helped me so much from the start. He taught me how to stand out from other presenters on the radio! With out his help I genuinely don’t think I’d be where I am now.” Matt Spokes – Presenter, Capital FM.
Please remember that Robin will never tell anyone that he coaches you… Sshhhhhh it’ll be your filthy little secret you dirty, dirty thing!!
“Robin took an ordinary guy, a listener at that, (that would be me) and turned his life around. After 10 months in a hospital radio station, broadcasting 1 hour a week, I was offered a position at Virgin Radio Dubai. Not just that, I was the second person on air since the station launched. Not only had I been offered a professional gig at a brand named station, but it happened to be in the most luxurious city in the world, along with a paycheck TRIPLE what I had previously been on…..and TAX FREE! His teachings have given me a whole new life in broadcasting, I am finally in a comfortable position in my life, and I can say I am HAPPY!” Ali Mak – Virgin Radio, Dubai.
Here’s the 1 to 1 Radio Coaching details that your boss DOES NOT want you to have:
Hi there,
I have coached a lot of talent around the world with 100% success rate… that means that after a few sessions every person has gone onto bigger and better things, most importantly sounding fantastic and in time earning more money!
All coaching I do is 100% confidential… I WILL NEVER EVER SAY THAT I COACH YOU, TO ANYONE!… that way your PD/PC will think it’s completely you that is sounding better and better.
Each session lasts over an hour and we can cover airchecking, demo’s, CV’s and how to get that next big gig!
I deal a lot in the psychology of radio and how to ‘train’ your audience without them even realising.
I will show you how to ‘own the airwaves’ and make your show an event in people’s lives. An event that has your audience talking AND your work colleagues too.
Remember I will give you 100% of any monies paid to me if you are not 100% delighted with my services and how you are progressing… You really can’t get a better deal anywhere.
Yours sincerely,
To take the first step (and the hardest!!) to becoming a Radio Star and getting ahead of your colleagues and competition fast, fill in the form below and hit ’send’. It’s really is as easy as that!

“No-nonsense and great to work with. With great advice on offer at every turn, I don’t think I could have the confidence to take my radio show that step further if it wasn’t for his encouragement, experience and advice.” Sam Turner – Breakfast Presenter, Superstation, Orkney.
It’s all totally up to you at this point and don’t forget if you think it’s not working and you’re not 100% satisfied with the results (no one has yet!!) then you will get 100% of your money back – NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
“Robin lives and breathes radio. It is this passion that has propelled him to the cutting edge of his industry; you won’t find a more creative or innovative talent on the airwaves. You can’t predict what he’s going to do next, just hold on tight and enjoy the ride. To boot, he has a heart of gold and is an absolute pleasure to work with.”** Nigel Forsyth – 6th Vision, Managing Director. **Webmasters note: Nigel represents Robin, therefore any quote is inadmissable as he gets a commission fee for crying out loud!!!
