Management Experience

Robynn joined the Royal Canadian Army Cadets at 12 years old and continued as a young adult to learn how to be a follower and then a young leader until she aged out of the cadet system at 19 years old.

The experiences that she had were instrumental in influencing the development of her as a leader and in what motivates her as an adult.

Robynn joined the military as a reservist out of college and attained the rank of Captain where she then went on to further her career in marketing and administration in the oil and gas industry.

After years in oil and gas she decided to branch out on her own in her first entrepreneurial role creating and leading one of the largest private commercial cleaning companies in Fort McMurray. With a staff of 25 working a variety of shifts she was able to lead the company to its pinnacle cleaning over 100,000 square feet per day 365 days a week.

Some of Robynn’s skills as a manager are:

She can lead a multi disciplinary team
She has “big picture” vision which allows her to plan
She is a relationship builder at all levels including the ministerial level
She empowers the people around her to make decisions and supports them in those decisions

Leadership Courses – Taught

Performance Management
Performance Management is not a company’s way of employing “micro-managing” techniques that stunt the professional growth of its employees. But rather, it is a strategic approach to ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization. Whether at the organizational, departmental or employee level, the goal of performance management is to make sure all business goals are being met in a satisfactory manner.

Critical Thinking
We live in a knowledge based society, and the more critical you think the better your knowledge will be. Critical Thinking provides you with the skills to analyze and evaluate information so that you are able to obtain the greatest amount of knowledge from it. It provides the best chance of making the correct decision, and minimizes damages if a mistake does occur.

Leadership & Influence
Welcome to the Leadership and Influence workshop! They say that leaders are born, not made. While it is true that some people are born leaders, some leaders are born in the midst of adversity. Often, simple people who have never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it. A simple example is parenting. When a child arrives, many parents discover leadership abilities they never knew existed in order to guide and protect their offspring.

Supervising Others
Welcome to the Supervising Others workshop. Supervising others can be a tough job. Between managing your own time and projects, helping your team members solve problems and complete tasks, and helping other supervisors, your day can fill up before you know it. This workshop will help supervisors become more efficient. They will also become more proficient with delegating, managing time, setting goals and expectations (for themselves and others), providing feedback, resolving conflict, and administering discipline.
