Ellen Robinson on Bespoke Executive Coaching and Closing Stress Cycles to Prevent Burnout

At the B2B Expo, executive coach Ellen Robinson of Robinson Coaching Group describes her 15 years of bespoke leadership and team development work, grounded in adult development theory to assess where clients are and tailor frameworks to their maturity and leadership readiness. She explains that beyond learning skills, leaders must address what holds them back and avoid being limited by strengths. For her 25-minute expo talk, Robinson focuses on burnout, noting common leadership fixes like delegation, prioritization, and clearer communication, but emphasizing the need to close stress cycles to prevent chronic cortisol buildup. She shares using brief moments of creativity without purpose or outcome to express oneself and regain perspective. Robinson recounts her high-stress background at Frito-Lay, Pepsi, managing the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche business operations, and a SaaS startup that led to burnout, prompting her transition into credentialed coaching.
