20 years experience in the field of learning and development
During the time I was on his team, Robin managed teams in 3 cities (4 if you count Markham) across two provinces in order to build the capabilities of TD people across North America. In addition to leading these dispersed teams, he also took on personal responsibility to facilitate a highly successful leadership development program and to develop social media usage and competence within the department and business unit… all this while simultaneously finding the time to present internationally on social media issues and teaching several courses at the university level. Very impressive!
Robin is a thorough and enthusiastic associate who is dedicated in his work. We have known each other via ASTD New York City Chapter and have kept in touch over many years. He is a quality person who is a pleasure to know and work with.
Robin has done some very impressive and leading-edge work on the social learning front. I’ve seen a number of effective and engaging learning programs that he developed that incorporated the use of various social media technologies. Robin also is a very effective user of social media tools – he used TD’s internal version of Facebook to establish many learning, development and other work-related communities of practice.
Robin is a passionate and dedicated leader in the Learning & Development field. His extensive knowledge combined with his easy-going teaching style, create a classroom environment that is relaxing and inspiring allowing students to excel and rise to their potential.
Robin is incredibly customer-focused and creative, always looking for ways to improve and collaborate. He helped others connect their work to the broader picture, both bank-wide and externally. I look forward to working with Robin again in the future.
Robin has energy, passion and commitment for learning and development - he brings this every day.
He is a thought leader, as shown through his academic research initiatives, yet is able to translate his thoughts into tangible initiatives that produce benefits for both the organization and people.
I would welcome future opportunities to work with Robin.
Robin was exactly the type of consultant we needed--he thoroughly understood the learning and technology fields where we were, our needs, and how to get us to the position where we could more effectively face our competition. His work was impeccable, and we hired him again after our initial engagement as we knew the sort of work and collaboration we would get. I completely recommend working with Robin.
Since joining TD Bank' Enterprise L&D group, Robin has continually demonstrated his ability to combine his passion for developing people with the creation of innovative approaches to learning, while ensuring that the needs of the business are met in a timely and effective manner.
Robin is extremely intelligent, quick to initiate action, focused. True to his word, meets deadlines, is a great sounding board. Good ability to establish relationships quickly.
Robin was a fantastic resource in the Education Services arena, both in the arena of training delivery, as well as curriculum development. He consistently conveyed confidence, professionalism, and a great attitude in working with both clients and colleagues.
Great sense of humour, very engaging with a great knowledge of blended learning functions. He is able to deliver lessons that leave his students wanting more. Very professional, very approachable.
