Mike Robbins Biography
In today’s fast-moving world of relentless change, hybrid work, and constant disruption, organizations don’t just need sharper strategies—they need deeper connection.
For 25+ years, leadership, culture, and teamwork expert Mike Robbins has helped some of the world’s most respected organizations build environments where people perform at their best because they feel safe, valued, and connected.
He’s the author of five books—"We’re All in This Together," "Bring Your Whole Self to Work," "Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Already Taken," "Nothing Changes Until You Do," and "Focus on the Good Stuff" —translated into fifteen languages.
He hosts the popular podcast We're All in This Together, and has delivered three TEDx talks, with 2.3+ million views. His work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, ABC News, NPR, and other national outlets.
Trusted for his expertise and partnership, Robbins has an extensive client list, including organizations like Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Walmart, and the NBA. 70% of his engagements are repeat business. His approach blends emotional intelligence with practical business insight, helping his clients turn values like appreciation, authenticity, and connection into tangible results that elevate engagement and drive performance.
A rare combination of data, story, and soul, Robbins moves audiences from aha moments to next-day action, delivering real-world strategies they can use immediately. His warmth and authenticity invite genuine connection—whether he’s addressing a few dozen senior executives or thousands at a global conference. He’s spoken in 17 countries across four continents and has earned the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association (NSA), held by fewer than 10% of professional speakers worldwide.
Before starting his company in 2001, Robbins was drafted out of high school by the New York Yankees, but chose instead to play baseball at Stanford University, where he pitched in the College World Series. After Stanford, he played professionally with the Kansas City Royals organization. Though injuries ended his athletic career early, the lessons he learned about mindset, teamwork, and resilience continue to shape his philosophy on leadership and life.
After his playing career, Robbins worked in sales and business development for two internet startups before discovering his deeper passion: helping people and teams fulfill their potential.
Since then, he’s combined those early lessons with decades of research and experience to offer tangible techniques for building cultures of trust, authenticity, and appreciation where people and performance can truly thrive.
Robbins holds a degree in American Studies from Stanford University, with a specialization in race and ethnicity, and has completed extensive professional and personal development training, including with the Coaches Training Institute.
Deeply committed to service and inclusion, Robbins has served on the boards of Challenge Day, The Peace Alliance, and the Marin Waldorf School.
He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters: Samantha, who is in college, and Rosie, who is in high school.

He is powerful at engaging you in the content, both with his own life and getting you to bring the content into your life. He is committed that you take away tools that you can you that day as well as have fun. He succeeds in both.
Nowlin Consulting - Oct 01 2010 -
His message is so simple it almost seems silly to have to bring in a speaker to talk about the benefits of positivity and authenticity! However, the truth is that we forget about this stuff in the daily grind, and his delivery is both fun and powerful.
