How my journey began

Robin is a life long subscriber to the philosophy of “know better, do better”. Meant simply as a call to action, that with greater understanding requires a greater call to excellence.

Growing up in a military family, she learned from a very early age that change is an inevitable part of life and how you manage that change determines your personal or professional growth. Robin has a heart to connect with people from all walks of life, encountering them where they are at, providing them with the information and tools required to “know better, do better.”

In her professional journey, Robin started A Creative Voice Communications, a successful communications company that evolved into a change management business, from which she was able to take on high level contracts within the Government of Canada.

With a drive like no other and an insatiable curiosity, Robin graduated with her Executive Master’s of Business Administration from Queen’s University while continuing to work a “9-5”, which greatly expanded her capacity and catapulted her into a new field of work with leaders.

Her insatiable desire for life-long learning has motivated her into gathering more “tools for her tool belt,” with certifications in:

  • Prosci Change Management

  • Project Management Professional (PMP)

  • Certified Change Management Professional (CCMP)

  • Mediation for Professionals

  • PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)

  • LEGO Serious Play Facilitator

Now after 20+ years spent in the communication and change management sector working with Government agencies, non-profits and for profit companies, she’s come to the place in her career where she is focused on paying it forward through the sharing of her acquired knowledge.

As a self-proclaimed Business Transformation and Culture Enthusiast, Robin is passionate about engaging in conversations with leaders on how to best grow with their organization and face the new frontier ahead of them with their teams fully engaged and their organizations thriving.

Topics that set Robin’s soul on fire include, business transformation, the importance of communication, entrepreneurship, social justice (or injustice for that matter) and understanding how we are all wired / what makes us tick.

She is a proud Canadian, author, speaker, advocate and “directionally challenged” world traveler, currently living in Canada’s capital, Ottawa.

Change is an inevitable part of the journey, how you handle that change determines your path forward.
