Roxanne loves to speak. People like it when she does. She's great at taking complex topics and making them understandable. She has worked successfully with all kinds of people and is especially adept at sharing practical knowledge for using the internet. She has over 20 years of experience, across North America, Europe, and Asia delivering hundreds of sessions, including keynote, to audiences of over 1500 people.

We also think of Rox as a "training machine." Contact us if your next event or conference could use a "How to Blog" session. It can be a single session or a repeating loop where people can drop in and out all day long to get the basics on what is a blog and how blogs can help (or hurt?) your business. In less than an hour they'll how trackbacks work, how and why to make good comments, and tools for tracking what others are blogging about your business. Naturally, having private, in-house trainings is also a successful way to bring your staff up to speed fast and efficiently.

We also work internally with companies who want their employees to raise their tech IQ or understand how to use the best tools of Web 2.0.

RoxanneDarling is giving us TONS of info about video and video blogging online. She's a true expert and embodies the #Aloha spirit.
Dave Taylor

I really enjoyed your session on video work-flow. I come across so much creative work that suffers from poor encoding and/or distribution. Beachwalks has always been a model for professional Internet-video, and it's clear why. You and Shane know the medium because you helped to shape it. That one session added about 10 minutes of productivity to my day.
Jamison Tilsner, Partner, Tilzy.tv

It was a pleasure meeting you and attending your session at podcamp. Can honestly say that you were the most positive speaker we had over the weekend, and I really enjoyed learning from you.
Julie Rorrer, Co-owner of Smashing Darling

Watching you during your "How to Find Your New Media Voice" podcamp [New York City] presentation filled me with such joy. It was so compelling to watch your face as you listened to others during that presentation. When I heard you say how important it was to communication for all of us to listen more than we do, it made me smile. Your listening has an extraordinary present quality. You also look very happy to just listen. That was what made it so compelling to watch you.
Patty Harwell, Media Consultant

Just wanted to thank you again for bringing social media to me in such a clear, easy way that I can really use! I had sooo much fun in our Utterz interactive, I haven't stopped talking about you guys.
Andrea Leigh (from SXSW)

Roxanne knows her stuff. She speaks with authority and looks for ways to engage the audience with her presentations. Her focus is on helping people create better media. After hearing one of Roxanne's talks you feel relaxed and pumped up all at the same time. In one word ... inspiring.
Joel Mark Witt, MarylandZoo.tv

A couple of really good sessions jump to mind from the day. The first was Roxanne Darling from Beach Walks with Rox. She gave some great “real world experience” insight into podcasting and her process.
Douglas Welch, Careers in Podcasting and New Media

I was highly impressed with your presentation and felt that it not only had value for my business, but also for my mind, body and soul. It's become a new favorite.
Justin Kaiser, Justin Kaiser & Associates

Your presentation on Wednesday at the IABC Luncheon was great. I learned about and absorbed meaningful information that I can use now. That is the way presentations should impact an audience and your speech did just that. Thank you.
Anthony Marlin, Hawaii Pacific University

You did an excellent job in keeping the audience interested. I only wish that we had a longer program.
Steve Golden, President, International Association of Business Communicators Hawaii

I wanted to personally thank you for delivering a very informative session on blogging and podcasting. Your views on whether or not companies should set-up their own blogs and how blogs can boost the bottom line were spot-on regarding the audience’s needs. I’m looking forward to listening to the session on your blog sites.
Lance Tanaka, Tesoro Hawaii Corporation

First to let you now that you were a HUGE hit at the Board of Directors meeting! Folks loved your presentation [on adding a text and video blog to their web presence], loved your energy... I suspect simply fell in love with you. You must be getting used to this reaction. It was wonderful to see you bring the room to life.
Cate Baril, Coffee Kids Web Marketing Team

Scott Flora, First Affirmative Financial Network, Colorado Springs, CO

Thanks for coming to talk to us. Your talk helped a lot. I felt better after you talked to us. The 24 hours without calling anyone names didn't work, I got in a fight with my sister, but I'm working on it. Thanks for taking your time to talk to us. Love,
Maria Sanchez, fifth grade

I would like to thank you for coming to our class room. I sincerely feel that it helped me to be a better person. After I spent those 24 hours without calling anyone a name, I found out that it wasn't that bad. It made me feel good inside having known that I didn't hurt one person that day. Yours truly.
Brady Sherman, fifth grade
