Beginning his career as a musician, Robin's artistic roots laid a unique foundation for his journey. This experience in music, with its emphasis on connection and storytelling, naturally paved the way for his transition into the professional world of social media. Living by the motto "Connect. Create. Contribute," he aims to inspire a wave of positive transformation. I learned so much from him and appreciate his authenticity, vulnerability, and simple yet powerful framework for driving human connection in an increasingly digitally-connected world.

Like or didn't like what you heard? Share your sip with me! The first time I made a cup of coffee. It wasn't good. But with practice, learning, I got better. Leadership is no different. It takes trial and error, practice, humility and experience. First impressions might leave a lasting impression, but when it comes to having a growth mindset, it shouldn't be your lasting impression of a person. Never judge someone now for who they were or weren't earlier in their career, at a moment in time you might've worked with them, or even when they're having a bad day. People grow, change, and it's important to hear their journey before you judge. Let's sip on how we can give people the benefit of another impression. Don't forget to tune into @LeaderSips @KarlynnH on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for a daily sip and tip from Dec. 1 - Jan. 6 with 24 Cups of Coffee Cheer & 12 Days of Christmas Tea! For more sips and tips, connect with me on social and follow @LeaderSips @Leadspirations and @LifeisGrit on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

And let's sip on some key things to consider in this November election season. For more sips and tips, connect with me on social and follow @LeaderSips @Leadspirations and @LifeisGrit on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.
