About the Book!
One of the most important life skills is speaking effectively, which few people enjoy and fewer do well. Wear A Killer Outfit will make you smile (and sometimes cringe) at the real-life experiences of public speaking. It’s chock-full of tips—from what to say, how to express it, and yes, what to wear. You’ll hear how public speaking opened doors for an aerospace engineer, C-suite executive, rock band archivist, and more. No matter what you do in life, Wear a Killer Outfit will prepare you to be heard.
Meet Robin
Whether participating in after-school speech and debate programs or coaching other students, author Robin Stombler found forensics a transformative experience. Today, Stombler uses her voice to advocate for a range of issues from clinical laboratory quality, food safety, and scientific advancements to health care improvements, and community revitalization.
Stombler is president and founder of Auburn Health Strategies, a strategic and business development firm serving health and science organizations for nearly twenty years. She serves as vice-chair of the board of directors of a national laboratory accreditation body, is a member of the board of discipline editors for a scientific journal, and has been appointed to numerous commissions and advisory panels. A veteran of Capitol Hill and state government, Stombler has published peer-reviewed and trade journal articles on a variety of health, science and business topics. Her astute and strategic insight is widely sought after by chief executives, academicians and policymakers.
Robin Stombler’s main regret in writing Wear a Killer Outfit is that people will expect her to dress well all the time. She says it’s worth the fuss if she encourages someone to use their voice effectively.
