About Ed Robinson

Helping business leaders who want to improve their professional performance and enhance their personal lives!

I advise the few who impact the many. My current client roster generates more than $3B in annual sales and employs more than 3,200 people. In addition, my clients have participated in more than $300M in exits/acquisitions.

My professional goal is to make the world a better place by helping leaders become the best version of themselves. I also want to show them that success and work-life balance aren’t competing objectives. I am an executive coach, management consultant, teacher/trainer, blogger/writer, public speaker, meeting facilitator, and developer of business assessment tools.

I primarily work with CEOs, small and mid-sized business owners, key executives, emerging leaders, and non-profit executives. I fundamentally believe that success is a conscious choice. I feel privileged to work with the top 5% of the population who actually step up, bet on themselves, lean into difficult problems, seize significant opportunities, assume the mantle of leadership responsibility, create high-performing work environments, and make a tangible positive difference in their communities.

My focus areas are as follows: creating peer-based learning experiences, leadership and management development, team building, change management, organizational development, board development, and employee engagement.

What Eds Clients Say…

These reviews are taken from the ‘Recommendations’ section of Ed’s LinkedIn profile.

Working with Ed as a business coach and Vistage group leader has been one of my best business moves. I wish that I would have engaged with him when we first meet over 15 years ago! If you are looking for a honest no nonsense person that will hold you accountable and push you to greatness, Ed Is your guy!

I've been working with Ed for many years now and have found him insightful, accessible and supportive. He is a great resource to have at your disposal and has helped me look at my business from many different angles. He will also push you to grow and challenge your assumptions. I am a better leader today due to his efforts.

Ed has been a terrific leader, coach, supporter and most of all friend. You are not always going to hear what you want, but Ed will tell you like it is and make you a better person for it. If you are considering Ed for anything from Vistage to 1-1 coaching sessions, I wholeheartedly would recommend Ed.

Ed is a game changer. His ability to facilitate a group is fantastic and I look forward to our one on one meetings where he gives great advice and continues to make me accountable for the commitments that I have made.
