Bio
Cindy Lech
I’ve worked with Robin Spooner for over 6 years as she promoted from a Sr Director to Area Director and Leadership Coach. Exceptional is a word that comes to mind when I think of Robin. It’s her exceptional communication skills that makes her such an effective leader and trainer. She knows how to support people and make the people around her feel heard. She is a fantastic public speaker who is engaging but most importantly authentic. She is a critical thinker and problem-solver. I love working with and recruiting for Robin because of her ability to collaborate and come up with creative solutions in difficult situations. And, to top it off, she’s fun and has a great sense of humor!

I always found Robin to be dependable, reliable, hard-working, honest, and courteous. Always jumping in and helping wherever needed.
