Robyn McLeod
Principal
 After many years of successfully leading large operations teams and corporate strategic initiatives, Robyn McLeod began consulting to organizations and sharing her expertise in organizational, leadership, and team development. For over ten years, Robyn has partnered with senior executives as they focus on supporting and achieving high performance and increased results. A foundation of her work is the belief that strong leaders and managers create an environment that engages, challenges, and develops employees who in turn provide world-class service and experiences to customers. Robyn works with clients to address their needs in the areas of organizational effectiveness; leadership and management development; change management; interpersonal and team skills; and strategic planning and thinking.
As an executive coach, Robyn works with leaders – from high potentials poised to take on bigger roles to more seasoned executives committed to adopting new behaviors – to help them achieve breakthrough personal and professional goals. Her approach to coaching is based on principles of Thoughtful Leadership – providing a framework to pull back from the frenetic day-to-day pace many leaders grapple with and apply critical thinking and reflective thinking to the challenges, issues and opportunities that leaders face in today’s rapidly changing work environments. Her coaching clients are then open and ready to:
- Gain greater self-awareness of their style, behaviors, strengths, and development areas
- Set and achieve personal and professional goals that build on their strengths and overcome skill gaps that impede their effectiveness
- Stretch beyond self-imposed limits and boundaries that may hold them back
- Adopt more effective approaches to communications for greater influence and interpersonal interaction
- Build stronger relationships with others in all aspects of work and life
- Lead organizational change with renewed focus, flexibility, and adaptability
Robyn has held senior management positions in Operations, Sales, and Human Resources in the telecommunications and professional services sectors. She has broad consulting and coaching experience with clients including Citibank, Columbia University, Digitas, GroupM, Lifetime Television, Pitney Bowes, Reliance Standard Life Insurance, Verizon, World Wrestling Entertainment, and a number of public-sector and not-for-profit organizations. Robyn’s diversity of skills, knowledge, and experience brings a unique perspective to her consulting and coaching clients.
A member of several professional organizations including the International Coach Federation, the Society for Human Resource Management, and the National Black MBA Association, Robyn holds degrees from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications and School of Management and an MBA from Columbia University. She currently serves as a Leadership coach for Columbia’s MBA and Executive MBA programs.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful presentation on how to re-engage employees as we all deal with change and its impact. The session was lively, timely, and presented so much pertinent information that we can start putting into place right away. Given the economic challenges most organizations have experienced over the last few years, this workshop gave us practical tools on how we can involve our employees in the changes ahead and be more sensitive to their needs.
The reviews of the workshop were outstanding. One participant voiced that this was the best workshop they ever attended and another said you have to come back every year for more. This is saying a lot because there are so many high quality programs that our organization provides for HR practitioners. The participants enjoyed the discussions and felt very comfortable asking questions. Thank you again for an excellent session.”
