Robins Areas of expertise include

1.Transition coaching and capability building.

This involves supporting career transitions for executives who have to navigate new contexts helping partner with them to reach new levels of performance quickly and to modify any derailing behaviours. This often involves working on specific goals clients have based on feedback from assessment processes or from their teams.

2.Supporting individual and team performance.

This involves partnering to help clients  improve team relations and performance and can include areas such as supporting resilience, building new mental models and skills or looking more deeply at motivations and drivers.

3.Start ups and navigating change.

Many founders and senior executives in start-ups or in critical growth phases often need to support to navigate specific challenges. This includes activities such as mergers and acquisitions, downsizing, restructuring or large cultural change projects where coaching is provided to support the overall transition plan.

4.Career support for emerging talent.

This involves working with clients in mid career as they move into larger global roles with significant new  accountabilities and challenges and find themselves needing to re-equip  or adapt their leadership style. With very senior executives who are looking to make the move towards the C suite the focus is often on new sets of capabilities and skills they have yet to fully develop. In addition Robin often works with underrepresented talent pools where organisations are looking to build a more diverse bench strength for their senior leadership positions.
