Dr. Robyn Wilson is the Owner of Praxis Management Consulting Pte Ltd, and works with leaders in Asia to enable them manage and grow their organizations – whether they be CEOs, senior leaders, entrepreneurs or people with dreams! As a facilitator, consultant, executive coach, educator and researcher, Robyn helps her clients achieve clarity to gain purpose, navigate change to ensure strategic direction, manage relationships to secure positive results, and develop leaders that groom successful people.
Her rare mix of skills and abilities along with her diverse background and experience gives her unique perspectives when addressing her work with individuals, teams and organizations – which can take a variety of approaches or mix thereof – in the areas of strategy, leadership and team/organizational capability building, innovation, cultural awareness and global/regional readiness, customer/stakeholder experience and personal development. Robyn has also provided strategic assistance to companies along with in-house development activities by using case based learning (a formal process for helping a company both capture the lessons from its successes and failures and for bringing clarity to complex challenges and issues).
Each person is unique with their own dreams, responsibilities, giftings and challenges. This is Robyn’s starting point and she loves seeing these individuals discover and, in turn, realize the greater potential that lies within them. In her work, Robyn is always mindful not to “bid you enter the house of her wisdom, but rather lead you to the threshold of your own mind.” (Kahlil Gibran, “On Teaching”).
Robyn is Australian and originally came to Singapore in 1996 to complete her PhD at NUS. Her work takes her all around Asia, as she works with people from everywhere. She is now very much at home here and has come to love the cultural diversity, richness, and the food of Asia!
