Biography
Robyn’s first career was as a Teacher-of-English-as-a-second language (ESL) in the workplace in her homeland Australia. She loved the meaning and purpose of that contribution. She designed many programs under the umbrella of English for Specific Purposes such as English for Engineers, English for Medical Professionals, English for Administrators.
Second career was a move to human and organization development consultant and practitioner offering whole systems design and leadership at all levels. Her portfolio includes a range of frameworks, methods and tools, including Appreciative Inquiry, World Cafe, and Open Space Technology so members of the system can say “we did this ourselves.” Organizations include “Big 4” management consulting, financial and professional services, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, retail, education, local government agencies and not-for-profits.
Since 2016, Robyn has returned to her first love, teaching, and is now affiliated with Champlain College, as an adjunct faculty teaching in the disciplines of human and organization development.
