' I appreciated being able to bring real time examples to my sessions, to discuss and work through. What exceeded my expectation was the true support and encouragement that I received. Growing in leadership can be difficult and daunting, but having someone challenging me and cheering me on at the same time made all the difference.'

'I realized I was giving my power away and waiting for permission to act.  I was relying on the responses of others before doing the work that I knew I was capable of doing.  I have learned to take action, set limits, and provide clear expectations for those that I work with, which has been very helpful in my daily work and satisfaction overall. Robin is so real in her way of speaking with you.She makes you feel comfortable and at the same time can ask the hard questions that we sometimes avoid.'

'You sometimes get in your head that being a leader for so long, you may not be as effective - and in today's environment that can be a very unsettling place to be. Robin helped me think beyond my limitations and coached me in a way that made me reinvest in my career, my goals, my value and my future. Robin is incredibly insightful, and supported me in owning my strengths as she also challenged me to contribute in bolder ways! '

'I really enjoyed working with Robin. She was considerate, got to know me as a person and leader, and consistently provided useful insight.  She continually challenged my assumptions and limitations, and wasn't afraid to help me explore areas of improvement.  At the same time, this was always balanced out with kind words, empathy and encouragement.  She encouraged me to take on hard problems and hard conversations and celebrated with me when those opportunities resulted in personal growth.'

'Coaching has been absolutely crucial for me. It has supported me while facing the challenges of academic life, allowing me to identify and develop my strengths, while compassionately embracing my weaknesses. Both my academic productivity and wellness have been enormously benefited by the support of coaching. I highly recommend it to anyone!'

'Thanks to Robin's support I was able to overcome the multiple challenges of applying for an NIH grant for the first time. I basically obtained a KL2, applied for a promotion, and a K23 to NIMHD, among other achievements, while juggling personal and family illness and hardships.'

'Leadership coaching with Robin has been so impactful, helping me evaluate discussions, improve my ability to lead others and delve into how I can make changes within myself to be more effective.It  taught me new skills for working with other personalities, ways to improve my communication, and improved my ability to lead others. '

'Coaching really helped me to develop skills such as having difficult conversations, presenting ideas to groups in a more concise, complete and effective manor, and have more confidence in my abilities to make decisions.  These skills made a big difference for me in both my professional and personal life because if I felt I was contributing in a more meaningful way at work, I felt better, and worried less.'
