About Robin

Resilience, Character Strengths, Positive Leadership, Organizational and Individual Wellbeing 

Glad to be of Service….

As a Resilience and Wellbeing Advisor, and Fraud Prevention expert, I help create workplaces where people want to stay, instead of wanting to leave – organizations that are Humane, Ethical, and Resilient. I have taught organizational wellbeing and leadership skills for professional organizations such as the Association for Financial Professionals, New York Cash Exchange, Texas Treasury Management Association (Texpo), and the American Land Title Association.


I am the primary Editor of Frank Abagnale's The Fraud Bulletin which is used by the FBI, the Federal Reserve, and hundreds of organizations across the United States.


In addition, I guide women in developing resilience, discovering character strengths, and employing the science of behavior change. These science-backed, evidence-based principles enable women to find their voice, take greater responsibility over their lives, and move from surviving to thriving.


To add the cherry on top, I am also a Suzuki violin teacher and am Co-Director of the Suzuki Music Program of Los Angeles. “Perhaps it is music that will save the world….” – along with positive organizations!


I have three amazing daughters and sons-in-law, two delightful granddaughters, and two adorable grand-puppies.

My Signature Strengths, as assessed by the

VIA Character Institute, are:

• Love of learning
• Spirituality, sense of purpose, and faith
• Leadership
• Curiosity and interest in the world
• Kindness and generosity
• Hope, optimism, and future-mindedness

Professional Accomplishments

My most significant professional accomplishments were the creation of “The Resilient Organization: Beyond Surviving to Thriving” webinar to help organizations and individuals better cope with the challenges ensuing from the Covid 19 pandemic, and to be the primary Editor of Frank Abagnale’s Fraud Bulletin, used by the FBI, the Federal Reserve, and hundreds of organizations across the United States for over 10 years.

Academic Accomplishments

My most significant academic accomplishments were helping to create the “Developing Civility and Connection” community enrichment program for the city of Midland, Michigan, and writing a 100+ page Capstone researching the significant overlap between religion/spirituality and positive psychology/well-being, including their connections with my own faith tradition.

Personal Accomplishments

My most significant personal accomplishments were, as a stay-at-home-mom for over 15 years, to help raise three amazing daughters who are academically and professionally accomplished, musically and athletically skilled, and are responsible, empathic citizens, and as the Music Director over 11 Latter-day Saint (LDS) congregations in the La Crescenta Valley, to organize a multi-congregational Community Christmas Concert and Crèche Festival with local Mormon, Lutheran, and Catholic congregations which was attended by over 1400 people.

Robin's Diversity of Strengths and Interests


Robin has worked with SAFEChecks, a company specializing in fraud prevention, since 2002. She is the primary Editor of Frank Abagnale's The Fraud Bulletin which is used by government agencies such as the FBI and Federal Reserve, as well as organizations throughout the United States. 


To round things out, she is also a Suzuki violin teacher and is Co-Director of the Suzuki Music Program of Los Angeles. To quote Pablo Casals, "Perhaps it is music that will save the world...." Along with Applied Positive Psychology and the science of wellbeing!


Robin's Why

One of Robin’s favorite “Lessons for Corporate America” comes from the movie “A Christmas Carol” starring George C. Scott. A stunned and frightened Ebenezer Scrooge attempts to console the despairing apparition of his long-dead business partner, Jacob Marley, by meekly saying, “You always were a good man of business.” 


To which Marley roars in response, “Business?? Business?? Mankind was my business!" "The common welfare was my business. Charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business!" 


"The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!” Does “the common welfare” merit a valid place on the agendas of successful CEOs, CFOs, and profitable companies? Is the notion of having “charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence” in professional organizations supported by science - which “men of business” ignore today at their peril? Is there truly a measurable ROI on organizational resilience and on positive, ennobled leadership emanating from the C-suite?


A quick perusal of today’s academic studies and financial literature delivers a resounding, “Yes!” Every business strategy is ultimately created and implemented by human beings, and an abundance of research shows that leaders and organizations that are “Humane, Ethical, and Resilient” – taking into account “the common welfare” and manifesting “charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence” – are far more likely to succeed in the marketplace. Industrial Age, top-down, dictatorial styles of leadership are less effective – and likely ineffective – in today's work environment. 


From the dramatic to the banal, myriad success stories in business, government, and non-profits alike demonstrate that elevating the human side of enterprise often spells the difference between long-term success and underachievement, or even disaster.

“…the traditional way we've inherited to manage and organize work is like The Matrix. We've been stuck inside this inhuman, and frequently inhumane, model of work for so long that most don't realize that there is an alternative....it is time to do away with the inhumane and ineffective management practices of the past, and to accept a new reality….”
