experience

Robyn is a thinker and a doer and always 3 steps ahead.  She is uncanny in both her attention to detail and the ability to forecast multiple potential scenarios in her head.

I had the pleasure of working with Robyn for 5+ years in both of her roles as the Director of The Balispirit Festival, and General Manager of The Yoga Barn … both in Ubud, Bali.

As co-owner of The Yoga Barn, I worked daily with Robyn.  She was in charge of all aspects of our very busy yoga studio/retreat center.  This included managing a local staff of 150, a teaching faculty of 20, plus over 100 yoga classes per week, monthly teacher trainings, group retreats, workshops & events, our in-house massage and holistic healing center, a 10-room boutique hotel, and a 100+ seat Garden Kafe restaurant.  A very busy place, with many moving pieces and our ongoing joke of a never-ending “Dang-Long-Listy” of things to accomplish!  Robyn stayed on top of it all with efficiency and grace.

Robyn is born leader and incredible team player, and would be an asset to any organization she so chooses.  Please feel free to contact me personally for further testament and recommendation.

‘I worked directly with Robyn during her role as General Manager of the Yoga Barn. 

In her capacity she successfully transformed the business from a new start-up into a positive cash generating operation.  Her attention to details, focus on establishing policies and procedures, and ultimate focus on the customer enabled the business to successfully grow. 

She showed a relentless drive and positive attitude to balance and address the demands of competing priorities.  Her transparent approach, open communication style, and inclusive leadership skills ensured everyone was well informed and working together. 

Robyn is an excellent asset to any team and brings a host of skill-sets that are value-added.’

‘Robyn is one of the most efficient, goal-oriented and articulate people I have worked with. She consistently helps me clarify career goals and continue to grow, be effective and create value within my position, while appropriately communicating these desires and traits to the business owners. 

I have been working with Robyn biannually for the past 3 years to reassess my position and personal goals while aligning them with my career path. I always arrive at our sessions confused, frustrated and uncertain, and leave feeling calm and clear with renewed enthusiasm for my work.

I cannot thank her enough for the patience, kindness and genuine care she shows when working with me, and would not hesitate to recommend Robyn as an advisor and consultant to anyone looking for guidance with goal clarity and communications within a business environment. Robyn is second to none!’

‘Robyn is a true business leader with heart! 

From a business standpoint, Robyn has the rare ability to see both the big picture and the most minute, but important details while bringing them together to create a ‘whole’.  She consistently incorporates the many moving pieces of a large or growing company into a coherent vision and path to success. This includes creating systems and processes that ensure structural framework through exponential organizational expansion, to making sure services and consistency are maintained during act-of-god crises.    

From a personal perspective, Robyn creates teams with a familial atmosphere empowering people to not only do their best, but continually improve their performance and knowledge base. Whilst serving as the Social Media Manager for The Yoga Barn, I witnessed how she strategized and executed the overall vision for the business to rapidly develop and sustainably succeed.  With her insight, supervision and guidance, we worked together in building a strong and consistent online presence which contributed in making The Yoga Barn a global leader within the yoga and wellness industry.

In terms of my personal entrepreneurial endeavors, Robyn has consistently provided valuable insight and a vision of continuity into marketing, business development, and operations.  Both of my businesses – apparel, as well as a women’s empowerment retreats, have benefitted from her wealth of knowledge and expertise.  

Truly, Robyn is one of the most devoted, meticulous women I’ve been blessed to know. Her interpersonal skills are next to none and she treats everyone with dignity and respect. She understands that human assets are the most important to any thriving business entity.

Her immaculate organization skills and impeccable attention to detail helped me to map out a roadmap for my professional life.

A deeply passionate and sensitive individual, whatever she chooses to commit to, she gives it her all. In addition to being detail oriented, she also has the unique ability to see the big picture and as such is able to join the dots of one’s life in a seamless and empowering fashion. With her as a part of your team, you can be assured that you will receive work of the highest calibre.

I unquestionably recommend her to support your business, especially if you’re interested in taking things to the next level in a cohesive and professional way.

“The best mentoring experience of my life.”
I worked with Robyn on-board the Luxury Private Charter Yacht – Alila Purnama. Although her primary responsibilities were to maintain and coordinate high level of services and guest experiences within an existing team and systems, that is not the way Robyn comprehends life. She always strives for ‘better’ and motivates the team around her to also rise.

Under her leadership, one-on-one management style, resilient attitude and attention to detail, Robyn motivated and helped each team member reach their potential and exceed their own expectations, bringing favorable winds to the Purnama team and guests for many more seasons to come.

On a personal level, I believe Robyn’s empathy and never ending effort to help is what I most admire. I personally had the opportunity to not only shadow and learn from Robyn during her time aboard, but also continue to benefit from her personal and professional mentoring in the ongoing development of my overall career path.

I strongly recommend Robyn as an amazing human tool and resource for any company wanting to transform their team and offerings at world class level.

Working with Robyn is so much more than just hiring a business consultant. In a nutshell, she’s changing my life (for the better) and is keeping me sane in the process. Making big decisions, growing the company, implementing new structures, upgrading systems, focusing on a healthy work/life balance and seeing the big picture, while having fun along the way, suddenly is a reality in my business. Deeply grateful to this amazing lady and her brilliance!
