Inspiration

Every one of us on this planet is here for a reason — to fulfill a purpose — no matter how big or small. Even if you have already identified yours, it’s often still challenging to step fully into your purpose and calling. With 25 years of experience, I work with people like you to help you unlock fear. My new book, Seeding Innovation, offers guidance on finding the courage and mindset to fulfill your purpose. I know how to conquer the naysayers, paradigm blindness, and imposter syndrome that can hold you back. You will learn tools like the STOP Protocol that you can use personally or professionally to live a life of purpose and courage. I work with individuals, companies and organizations.

In Seeding Innovation: The Path to Profit and Purpose in the 21st Century, veteran entrepreneur, award winning author, global strategist, speaker, and Rice University Innovation and Entrepreneurship professor, Robyn O’Brien, delivers an insightful and data driven roadmap to authenticity and smart leadership in the face of accelerating technological, environmental, and social change. In the book, you’ll discover how to build resilience, authenticity, market share and purpose into your business plan and move beyond box-ticking, virtue signaling and one-dimensional metrics, in a way that strengthens your business model, enhances your bottom line, attracts investors, fortifies employee retention, and more.

With her characteristic candor and attention to data and deep experience on the frontlines of industry change, Robyn explains how you can transform concepts like paradigm blindness, scarcity, imposter syndrome, rejection, and fear to build durable, lasting, and profitable businesses that integrate social and environmental principles, with courage and integrity to drive long term shareholder and stakeholder value.
