Bio
Deboshree (Deb) Roy Chowdhury, CPHR
I have known Rob for around 4 years, initially he was the Director of the Division I was in whilst employed with the AHO, Rob created a high performance culture within the division, encouraged strategic thinking, innovation, personal & professional development that really helped me in my own professional development. More recently, after Rob established his own Executive Coaching Consultancy, I asked him to assist me with leadership coaching. Rob has provided such welcome advice and guidance. Having such extensive experience in both the private and public sectors Rob is able to draw on this to assist me in addressing challenges and opportunities. Rob has a conversational approach to things and a strengths-based point of view. I leave our sessions feeling positive and energised, armed with practical strategies, techniques and guidance. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a coach, mentor, or consultant to work with on leadership coaching, strategic advice or to improve your team’s performance.

I worked with Rob for over 3 years at the Aboriginal Housing Office. In my experience Rob always sought to keep Aboriginal culture at the centre of our work. Rob showed he was a passionate advocate for his staff and the work of the team. Rob has a relentless focus on delivery and would always seek to ensure the best outcome regardless of barriers. Rob would regularly seek direct conversations to immediately deal with issues and consider ways of progressing. Rob was also very good at making the time to regularly check in on a personal-level to build relationships with staff and stakeholders. Rob was certainly an asset in our team and to the AHO
