MEET ROBYN CLARKE
“I don’t control other people’s perceptions of me. They’re going to think whatever they’re going to think. The only thing that I can control is how I enter a room. So if I enter a room and I am confident and reminding myself of everything that I do bring to the table, then that’s all that matters because then I’ve brought my best foot forward.“
– Robyn Clarke
