Robin Pou

Robin Pou is an Executive Coach, Author, and Founder of a leadership development firm. Robin also created the Leadership Doubt Index – a pioneering workplace survey of top leaders that reveals significant implications on how successful leaders frequently question a critical aspect of their leadership. As part of this work, Robin founded National Confident Leader Week which is an annual nationwide initiative that aims to enhance leadership effectiveness by better understanding how leaders question their abilities, manage their doubt, and then ultimately cope with those experiences. As an executive coach and frequent keynote speaker, Robin works with Fortune 500 executives and CEOs of high-growth organizations. His clients have included GM Financial, TimeWarner, The Match Group, The Dallas Morning News, and Sotheby’s.
