Wendy Robinson

Executive Coach and Psychologist

Working internationally I see how our world of geopolitical upheaval, climate emergency, social injustice and systemic crises, results in a real struggle for ‘Business As Usual’.

As an Executive Coach and Psychologist, I’ve felt the discomfort of ‘carrying on as normal’. It was necessary to do my own learning to understand the bigger picture, and challenge my lifelong beliefs and values. This has enabled me to now coach others.

I work with leaders who are sitting with questions such as:
• Is my work meaningful given what is happening in the world?
• How can my organisation be a force for good in the world?
• What type of world am I leaving my children and grandchildren, nephews, nieces, the generations who will come next?
• If I could do something meaningful with my experience and talents, what would that be?

Times of crisis bring opportunity to look again at what we thought to be so.
Sometimes a different type of thinking, or a different ‘consciousness’ (Einstein) is required.

In today’s world there isn’t one neat problem which can be solved in a linear, causal problem solving methodology. Instead, we must roll up our sleeves and get stuck in. We must be prepared to grapple with complexity and with not-knowing. And discover that something important is waiting to emerge; in our roles, in our organisations and in our lives.

Do I have hope? Yes, but it’s the type of hope which is active, and engaged. I can explain more when we meet.

I have been privileged to be a thinking partner, confidante and coach to leaders for 30 years. I had led £4M+ leadership development contracts, and teams of 16 consultants. I have consulted to organisations of all shapes and sizes, giving me a deep understanding of the inner world of managers and leaders. I have worked across the UK and Ireland, as well as internationally in the US, Australia and EMEA.

My clients tell me that I bring humility, wisdom, empathy and a deep care, to my work as a coach. I have been a Chartered Psychologist for 30 years, and an Accredited Executive Coach for 15 years. I also support other Executive Coaches as an Accredited Coach Supervisor.
