About Me

My Journey So Far

I began my career as a software engineer, working internationally for prominent organizations. These experiences taught me that creating value is more important than just writing great code. They also sparked my interest in leadership, which I see as a series of relationships and therefore a privilege (or perhaps even a responsibility) for all of us, regardless of rank.

Driven by this belief, I earned an MBA and redefined my professional mission: helping others take ownership of their lives. I believe everyone can learn to take ownership, regardless of their position. This principle forms the foundation of my People-Minded Leadership approach.

Shall we get to know each other while enjoying a cup (virtually)?

Warm regards,
Robby Coelho

Courses & Masterclasses

As the saying goes: change the world by starting with yourself, and Robby’s People-Minded Leadership course "Connect to Your Inner Leader" adds: start by truly knowing and understanding yourself. It helps you strengthen that self-connection and provides practical tools to grow authentic leadership and build meaningful relationships with others.

If you’re unsure about your current job and the direction you want to take, the masterclass "Reconnect to Own Your Future" is the perfect place to start.

A timely masterclass, "Reconnect to Own Your Future". Personal leadership brought to life with practical, relatable examples that everyone will recognize.

The importance of connecting with yourself and having your own plan, those are the valuable insights I took away from the masterclass "Reconnect to Own Your Future".

Individual Coaching

Robby helped me realize how I could let go of my team after transitioning to a new role, without losing the connection. Thanks to his practical tips and approach, I’ve been able to define my new role as Cluster Manager more clearly and confidently put on the right hat.

Switching from the cultural sector to IT later in life, I felt I had so much to prove and struggled to stand up for myself. Robby’s advice to enjoy being a junior, while it lasts, helped me rediscover the joy in my work and in working with my team. I’m truly grateful for that.

After getting lost in chaos time and time again, Robby’s ‘peeling the onion’ approach helped me find clarity. Now I know what truly deserves my priority, and it has greatly strengthened both my work and my confidence.

Robby gave me just the nudge I needed to take the steps I already knew deep down. Not only did his wisdom on stickies help me, but also his keen sense of when I needed to connect, even online.

Robby helped me put words to feelings I had been carrying for a long time about politics and culture within organizations. He also guided me in defining my priorities and taking action. It’s hard to put into words everything I’ve learned from him, but his support has been truly invaluable.

Just the word ‘disconnection’ was enough for me to book a session with Robby. The People-Minded Leadership principles immediately resonated with me, helping me understand situations that finally allowed bottled-up emotions to surface. I took action right away with real results, and I highly recommend People-Minded Leadership to everyone.

Team Coaching

What Robby has created with VR-Binding has the potential to be a tremendous asset for teams who are sincere about their willingness to be vulnerable, to learn, and do the work!

Robby guided my three Scrum teams through playing VR-Binding. VR-Binding is much more than just a fun, team-building activity. By asking the right questions and provoking thought afterward, Robby encouraged the teams to critically assess opportunities for development. As a Scrum Master, I can then continue working with the teams on these insights. VR-Binding is a great addition to a Scrum Master's toolkit, and I highly recommend it.

It works! VR-Binding is an accessible and interactive method for discovering a team's untapped potential. In a playful way, teams gain valuable insights into their collaboration and performance. By reflecting on these insights together afterward, they are connected to daily practice, providing the team with the necessary tools to further develop and unlock their untapped potential.

Robby’s VR-Binding experience is a powerful way to make team dynamics visible. The game is playful and innovative, yet above all insightful: it helps teams uncover untapped potential and provides concrete tools to improve collaboration and flow.

Speaking

Robby isn’t just a storyteller, he pulls you into his story. His ability to captivate the audience and draw them in was remarkable, so much so that they were literally on the edge of their seats. His authenticity and vulnerability, especially in sharing the emotions behind his journey, made a deep impact. He doesn’t just speak; he connects and inspires.
