What our clients say

"Together with Robyn de Villiers, we piloted five Culture Map sessions across all four of our markets in the latter half of 2021. She worked with us to develop workshops focused on 4 of the 8 dimensions and led sessions across multiple different time zones. Her insight and expertise were extremely well-received in each session, leaving participants eager to learn more. By collecting and providing feedback after each pilot workshop, we were able to collaborate and enhance the experience with interactive polls, cultural-specific examples, and roleplay prompts for further team engagement. Given the successful and well-received pilot sessions, we extended our partnership in 2022. Adding more sessions under the theme “From Awareness to Action: Culture Map – Working in Diverse Teams” to our 17,000 employees worldwide. Robyn has been a valuable thought-partner and teacher and we look forward to growing the program together."

"Co-sign Robyn and The Three Cs! Great partners for us. Though, the US drives much of the public IE&D challenges in the world, it was important for me that we sort out partners outside of the US to truly lead in diversity (lead by example). We’ve had positive feedback from the teams that participated in Culture Map, and they continue to host more sessions with Robyn. The examples are relevant to real life business relationships with a strong focus on how culture impact those relationships."

"I have had the joy and pleasure to work with Robyn as my executive coach. Hands down, it was the most impactful coaching experiences I have ever had. Robyn is incredibly balanced, experienced, capable, credible and professional. She builds rapport and evokes trust. Robyn has enough empathy and intelligence to strike a great balance between being challenging and supportive – always moving things forward. Her specialism in culture, communication, conflict and collaboration has been instrumental in helping me navigate, reframe and adapt where I need to. In an almost year-long engagement, I have always felt a clear value add with every single engagement. Her ability to dig deep, facilitate and ask brilliant questions has been truly invaluable to my personal impact and success. It has manifested inevitably in both material achievements and intangible wellbeing. I am eternally grateful for the experience and can't recommend Robyn more highly."

"I am pleased to provide a glowing reference for Robyn de Villiers, with whom I have had the privilege of working for over 15 years. Robyn is an exceptional professional, showcasing unparalleled skills in communication, crisis management, people, brand and reputation, and public relations. More recently, her recent focus on culture and relationships has undeniably left a significant positive impact on many of our people. Robyn is not only a master in her field, but also a dedicated coach and mentor, demonstrating her commitment to nurturing talent. Calm, professional, and articulate, Robyn consistently brings a level of expertise and poise that is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Robyn de Villiers for any endeavour requiring top-notch communication and leadership skills."

"Our office is a talent destination with more than 30 different nationalities where leaders grow into global leaders. Together with Robyn De Villiers we explored different cultures using the Culture Map dimensions to bring to life the differences and synergies in our office together with learnings to apply in their daily working experiences across the international business. This powerful work has integrated itself into our onboarding of all new associates and inspired the creation of an internal game The IB Culture Tour. Thank you Robyn for bringing to life the magic of different cultures across 8 significant dimensions."

"Robyn literally took me from A to B, B being braver, bolder, and a better version of the executive I want to be. With Robyn, I learnt balance, strategic thinking and planning, managing upwards more effectively … and important soft skills like compassion for myself notably. At the heart of her coaching style: listening and trust. I always felt comfortable to share anything: from vulnerabilities to personal challenges. And we’d work through these together, effectively. I love Robyn’s exploration style with her coachees: always suspending her judgement to understand, explore hypotheses and scenarios to guide with common-sense, experience, maturity and leadership. And, probably thanks to her lifetime experience in communication, Robyn will always know how best to craft and deliver a message to stakeholders (upwards, downwards or peers). And this is one critical smart skill that makes any executive succeed or not. Thank you Robyn!"

"The launch and creation of Destination Inclusion, our global, company-wide learning and awareness program in 2020 really needed expertise in understanding cultural differences. Robyn de Villiers experience and skills bringing the Culture Map to our organization’s 4,000 employees and facilitating workshops across the 8 dimensions was critical to the success of the program. She crafted and led the workshops across time zones and key markets in a two-month period of time introducing the learnings and tying them into the skills necessary for our organization’s growth. She later designed a workshop for a large banking team to support their team dynamics and continuously improve their client work. Robyn successfully designed training for the leaders as part of a pilot for our Leadership Development program. She is a pleasure to work with and an expert at her craft, always bringing professionalism and insights to every engagement."

"I have worked with Robyn de Villiers as a Board member and as my career coach. In each capacity, Robyn is exemplary. As a Board member, Robyn brings a sense of order, priorities, insight and practicality to the table. As a career [coach], I benefitted from Robyn’s perception, focus, global experience and tremendous listening capabilities. Together, we identified how I can use my experiences and skill sets to support my executive ambitions. We jointly developed my career pathway and a range of opportunities for the next 2-3 years. Invaluable guidance from an excellent, perceptive coach. Highly recommended."

"On behalf of our Middle East and Africa EXCO, I would just like to say a big thank you for the amazing Culture Map workshop you facilitated for us. This was truly an eye-opener for us all. As an Exec team coming from different parts of the world, we are now able to understand why we see and do things so differently, and as a result our connection and ability to communicate more effectively with each other has taken a quantum leap forward. What I loved most about the experience was that there is no judgement, no right or wrong approach, simply a cultural reason why we are innately diverse, and this understanding is also such a gift. I think every exec team should experience this – not only to improve their understanding of each other, but also the ways in which they interact with the rest of the business. We look forward to future workshops with you, and making this part of our leadership development program in MEA."

"Robyn’s coaching style is one that has created a relationship of trust and confidence with me. Her ability to listen and ask probing questions has assisted me in reflecting and prioritising both my personal and professional objectives. This is an endorsement of her Multi-cultural communications expertise and outcome based coaching style. If I had to describe her approach to coaching in two words it would be “YES HOW!”

"The session was truly invaluable. We are interacting with a multitude of cultures on a daily basis and taking a deep dive into how we as a company approach this would make a huge difference. The contextualising and getting staff to interact through scenarios led to self-reflection on an individual basis. For me that was, in itself, a great trigger, because you could see people were genuinely considering their behaviours and interactions, and wondering how they could have handled it differently. When you find staff in conflict, it is not always easy for individuals to self-reflect and see other perspectives, but this non-judgemental way of evaluating situations really triggered the thinking."
