	Expertise: Team Building • Peak Performance • Communication • Success Fee Range: $15,000 to $20,000 Location: California     Video Robyn Benincasa was born in Long Island, NY, but spent most of her youth in Tempe, AZ, where she competed at the state and national level in gymnastics, diving, and cross country. After graduating from Arizona State University with a B.S. in Marketing, Benincasa accepted a pharmaceutical sales job in the San Diego Territory and earned honors as “Rookie of the Year” in 1990. Benincasa was shortly thereafter caught by the triathlon bug , and ultimately went on to complete six Ironman races, with two podium finishes in her age group in Kona, Hawaii. By 1995, however, she was really really tired of triathlon AND wearing panty hose to work, so she embarked on a mission to live her dreams of becoming an adventure racer and firefighter.

	In the past 10 years Robyn has successfully completed more than thirteen “expedition length” adventure races and has earned World Champion honors in both the Eco-Challenge (Borneo, 2000) and the Raid Gauloises (1998). Ever in search of a way to “spread the luv”, Benincasa launched her team-building company in 2000, with the hopes of bringing her unique and inspiring perspective on teamwork to the corporate world. Over the past 5 years Robyn’s “8 Essential Elements of Human Synergy” keynotes, training seminars, and outdoor Adventure Teambuilding challenges have been embraced by Starbucks, Tony Robbins, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Aramark, Honda/Acura, Timberland, Earthlink, and Fast Company Magazine. Robyn also accepts full blame for inspiring some of her corporate clients to do insane things like climb Mount Kilimanjaro, run their first triathlon, or start their own adventure racing teams. “It’s a tough job”, Benincasa says, “But someone’s gotta do it”. The Flashover experience is a cutting edge journey into the "Extreme Teamwork" and High Performance Leadership necessary for success in today's fast-paced and time critical business environment -- led by the professionals who epitomize the term "performance under pressure", America's firefighters.
