TurningPoint’s Founder, Kathy Robinson
In my own life, I’ve been through a fair number of life and career transitions, and I know what it’s like to face the unknown. I think at last count, I’ve held twenty-eight different part-time and full-time jobs starting at the age of eight, when I decided that I really wanted to earn some money (full disclosure: for candy) and took on two neighborhood newspaper routes.
Prior to starting TurningPoint, I worked as a high-profile HR Executive in a variety of industries, including digital marketing, technology, sales, manufacturing, engineering, professional services, and retail (e-commerce). To this day, on top of leading the TurningPoint network, I still keep active in the HR and recruiting world, so that I know what’s emerging and how employers and candidates are acting these days.
I’ve worked with many people in career transition and have helped build several small start-up companies. My favorite part about my own coaching work is the moment when we uncover someone’s true gifts and star power that we can then showcase in a job search or business plan.
My passion involves helping people identify and pursue their ideal jobs, start their dream businesses, and/or retire after a long career and pursue new interests. I love to talk about career topics, and I’ve been interviewed for print, radio and television, including The Wall St. Journal, CNN Money, CBS, NPR, Forbes.com, NECN and the Boston Globe.
