Since 1998, Robyn’s coaching clientele have all been generated by referral. The results she creates with her clients are so immediate and lasting, her reputation spreads quickly from one corporation to another.

Annually, ChoiceCenter Leadership teams collectively donate between $750,000 and $2.5 million to organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Shade Tree Shelter, St. Jude’s Hospital, Habitat for Humanity, the Salvation Army, Street Teens, Feed the Children, Child Haven and many other hard working charities. An Entrepreneurial Background Prior to opening ChoiceCenter, Robyn was a successful entrepreneur and has owned her own companies since she was 20 years old. Her first business was an insurance brokerage that expanded from San Diego to Las Vegas, and grew to be the largest in Southern Nevada within just two years.
