"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."

Name"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!"
