Mike Robbins Biography
Mike Robbins is an author, thought leader, and sought-after speaker who teaches people, leaders, and teams to infuse their lives and businesses with authenticity and appreciation. Robbins is the author of five books, including "Focus on the Good Stuff," "Be Yourself Everyone Else is Already Taken," "Nothing Changes Until You Do," and "Bring Your Whole Self to Work," which have been translated into fifteen different languages. His fifth book, "We're All in This Together: Creating a Team Culture of High Performance, Trust, and Belonging," came out in paperback in 2022.
As an expert in teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence, Robbins delivers keynotes and seminars that empower people, leaders, and teams to engage in their work, collaborate, and perform at their best. Through his speeches, seminars, consulting, and writing, Robbins teaches important techniques that allow individuals and organizations to be more appreciative, authentic, and effective.
His clients include Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Schwab, LinkedIn, Deloitte, the U.S. Department of Labor, Gap, Harvard University, Coca-Cola, Chevron, eBay, Kaiser, Airbnb, UC Berkeley, the NBA, Genentech, Adobe, the Oakland A's, and many others. Robbins is a member of the National Speakers Association and is one of less than 10% of the professional speakers in the world to have earned the prestigious Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation.
He has been featured on NPR, ABC News, the Oprah radio network, and in the Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, the New York Times, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, and many others. He was a regular contributor to Forbes and is the creator and host of the popular podcast, We're All In This Together.
Prior to his speaking, writing, and consulting career, Robbins was drafted by the New York Yankees out of high school. He turned the Yankees down and instead chose to play baseball at Stanford University, where he pitched in the College World Series. He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals out of Stanford and played three seasons of professional baseball in the Royals organization before arm injuries ended his playing career while still in the minor leagues.
After his athletic career was cut short, Robbins worked in sales and business development for two Internet start-ups. When the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, it allowed him to follow a deeper passion – empowering and inspiring people – and opened the door for him to start working full time as a speaker, author, and coach.
In addition to earning a degree from Stanford in American Studies with a specialization in race and ethnicity, Robbins has continued to educate himself. He has extensively studied many disciplines of both personal and professional development and received training from the Coaches Training Institute.
He’s also a former board member for two non-profit organizations – Challenge Day (a powerful youth organization that focuses on inclusion, mindfulness, and personal development for teens) and The Peace Alliance (an organization focused on creating a culture of peace in America and around the world, as well as a grassroots political campaign to create a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace).
Robbins is a contributing author to "Chicken Soup for the Single Parent’s Soul," "Creating a Marriage You’ll Love," and "Thirty Things to Do When You Turn Thirty."
He lives in Novato, CA (in the San Francisco Bay Area) with his wife Michelle, and their two daughters, Samantha and Rosie.

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.
