Dr. Robinson has a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Relations and Organizational Behavior from the University of San Francisco and, a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Vermont College. He earned his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies where he studied both Eastern and Western Psychology and Religion. Counseling psychology is the branch of psychology that is concerned with the enhancement of human performance and the quality of life. His dissertation research investigated factors that influence creative thinking. He also has conducted research into the personality differences between entrepreneurs and mainstream executives and his research was incorporated into the ASSESS personality survey by Bigby/Havis and Associates.
Dr. Robinson got his start in the field of psychology working with emotionally disturbed adolescents (the type that beat up, killed and robbed people)…some would say the best training for working with executives. Along the way, on his untraditional career path, he spent a year working for a world-renowned artist as a craftsman, as the assistant to the head of a Mutual Fund and as the lead management recruiter for one of the largest health insurers in the country. He has successfully started two consulting practices, first in San Francisco and later in Seattle. His most recent entrepreneurial endeavor was, with his wife, to open, grow and successfully sell a coffee house, Caffè Zingaro, Coffee – Tea – Delectables, in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Besides featuring great coffee, tea and desserts, the coffee house is a free wireless hotspot where at any time of the day you are likely to find entrepreneurs sipping, surfing the net and starting businesses along side ballet dancers, opera singers, actors and playwrights.
