Mike Robbins

They need cultures where people trust one another, collaborate well, and do their best work. For more than 25 years, Mike Robbins, CSP, has helped leaders and teams at Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Walmart, and the NBA build exactly that.

From the College World Series to the Corporate Stage

Drafted out of high school by the New York Yankees, Robbins chose Stanford University instead, where he pitched in the College World Series before playing professionally in the Kansas City Royals organization. Injuries ended his athletic career early, but the lessons he learned about mindset, teamwork, and resilience became the foundation of the work he began in 2001.
