There's no single formula for change. So I don't bring one.
Every organization has its own history, culture, power dynamics and possibilities. I work with the people closest to the work to understand what's happening, name what matters most, and decide together what needs to shift.
Change happens through relationships. I pay attention to trust, conflict, communication and power.
Systemic
People operate within structures, policies, incentives and cultures. Lasting change looks beyond the individual.
Participatory
The people living with a problem hold knowledge outsiders can't see. I design processes that let them shape the solutions.
Experiential
People learn by doing. Sessions let people practice new ways of working, not just talk about them.
Equity-centered
I look at who holds power, who's affected and whose perspectives are overlooked.
Practical
Insight without action rarely changes anything. I help turn reflection into decisions, practices and accountability.

When to call me
Where I do my best work
A team knows it needs a difficult conversation but keeps avoiding it.
Leaders have named their values but can't translate them into behavior.
A strategic plan exists, but implementation keeps stalling.
Conflict, mistrust or fatigue are present, and the patterns underneath haven't been named.
The process
What working together looks like
1
Conversation
We talk about what's happening and whether I'm the right fit.
2
Understanding
I learn your context, history and the people involved.
3
Design
We shape an approach together, built for your organization.
4
The work
Facilitation, coaching or consulting, co-designed with you and adjusted as we learn together.
5
Carrying it forward
We build the structures and skills so the change lasts without me.
Sliding scale
I believe in reparations, and in directing resources toward the communities most impacted by systemic inequity.
That's why I offer sliding scale rates, prioritizing QTBIPOC-led organizations (led by queer and trans Black, Indigenous and people of color) and organizations dedicated to supporting QTBIPOC communities. If this describes your organization, I invite you to reach out so we can explore what's possible together.
Virtual facilitation books at least 6 weeks ahead. In-person facilitation books at least 8 weeks ahead.
I facilitate fully virtual or fully in-person sessions, not hybrid.
For larger engagements, I can bring in trusted collaborating consultants when added expertise or representation would serve the work.
"Working with Robyn was an incredibly meaningful investment we made in our leadership and organizational culture work. What made the process so powerful was their ability to coach our executive team while simultaneously helping us build a leadership development program. We weren't just creating something for other leaders—we were doing the work ourselves."
