Well-Being & Inclusion Catalyst
Facilitator / Speaker / Coach / Author
Theresa M. Robinson
I am a facilitator, keynote speaker, coach, author and president of Master Trainer TMR & Associates, LLC, a global training consulting firm. I enjoy working with professionals all over the world in the areas of pressures, priorities, and purpose.
To date, I have facilitated over 700 virtual and in-person training sessions in 23 countries, spoken at over 100 events, written 3 books, and developed 2 training courses – “Conversations About Racial Experiences™” and “Well-Being for Life™-COVID-19 Edition.” I have also been known to help adults rediscover the unbridled childhood joys of jump-rope, cartwheeling, and hula-hooping.
The essential alchemy of my transformative organizational approach is marrying well-being and inclusion.
Aristotle nailed it with “Happiness depends on ourselves.” A genuinely happy life requires the fulfillment of a broad range of conditions, including physical, emotional, and mental well-being coupled with a sense of belonging. The problem is that many people have lost sight of this and “just live with” a bad day at work.
I challenge, encourage, motivate and activate you at your primal core, ignite your purpose so you can truly thrive at work. Kiss bad days goodbye. Forever.
My 3D method puts the individual first:
- Discover your purpose
- Design your own rules
- Dedicate yourself to a plan
There’s nothing more powerful than fully harnessing our energy and talents to actually make a difference. As humans we crave connection and a sense of belonging that will lift us out of our own head and into the hearts of others. You don’t need to be a psychologist to know that we perform at our absolute best when we are in tune and fully aligned personally and professionally.
I teach people smart strategies to “own your life.” I help organizations to create a permanent can-do culture of well-being and belonging that unlocks available talent on an individual, team and global level, for the long term.
In addition to excelling at well-being, DEI, physical wellness, work-life fit, gender equity, DiSC, performance coaching, keynote speaking and presenting, I’m effective at guiding others to embrace the “un” in uncomfortable.
I hold a BA in English from Howard University and a MA and ABD in English from Cornell University.
On a personal note, my husband and I met in 1990 at a Cornell University new grad student reception. We’ve been together ever since and have two amazing adult children. These days on the other side of 50, I’m into yoga, devouring books, journaling, adult coloring, hiking, biking, pseudo-gourmet cooking with the help of my Hello Fresh deliveries, and seeing the world.

What Clients Are Saying About Theresa
Theresa Robinson delivered one of the most powerful training experiences we have had at our company. She demonstrated a mastery of the material presented on Energy Management, and her delivery of the material was captivating. The impact was seen in our organization by the lives that were changed as a result of this experience, both in performance improvement at work and quality of life at home. I would highly recommend her to any organization looking for a world class trainer.
Theresa Robinson is one of the most dynamic speakers I have had the opportunity to experience in the 22 years I have worked in Organizational Development. Theresa is an excellent example of full engagement both in her personal life and in her seminars. She captures the audience’s attention from the moment she steps on the stage and she continues to engage them throughout the entire presentation. Theresa gives realistic life tools participants can use to change behaviors and ultimately change their lives for the better.
Theresa is a dynamic trainer and educator. She captivates her audience with her animated style, high energy, compassion, and sense of humor. She challenges participants to embark upon a journey to self-discovery and self-empowerment, while providing the tools and techniques to bring people’s aspirations into reach. Better yet, she leaves audiences ready and willing to take action that can transform both their professional and personal lives.
From my first handshake with Theresa, I was struck by her inspiring and stirring demeanor, encouragement, and strength of spirit. Her coaching style was extremely effective; thus, as a coach for my organization, I have aspired to emulate some of aspects of her coaching approach in conveying information to individuals and groups of people.
Rarely do you find someone who can connect with both the head and the heart in a way that Theresa can. She is inspirational without being sappy and genuinely humble. She connects with the whole person, not just part of them.
Theresa Robinson packs true power in her motivational toolkit -intelligence, impact, emotion, humor, spirituality- it’s all in there! During our sessions together, Theresa empowered me to dig deep within to rediscover my ultimate purpose for living. The process transformed my life – I am now healthier, happier and able to successfully handle whatever challenge comes my way on a daily basis.
Theresa is one of the most energetic, engaged, and inspiring facilitators I’ve known! She connects well with each audience, cares deeply about their growth and development, and masterfully challenges them to be better than they thought possible. I’ve also seen her tailor her message and approach to reach a group “where they are”. I can’t say enough great things about Theresa!
Theresa has the unique ability to be both supportive and challenging at one and the same time. She holds a bigger vision of what your life can be like and provides you no corner in which to shrink from your true potential, while at the same time letting you know she is in your corner to help you get there. Her facilitation was a true catalyst for change in my life.
Theresa Robinson is an extraordinary speaker and facilitator! She is dynamic, engaging, funny, and can be in your face when needed. Most importantly our clients love her! In an unprecedented event one of our major clients, a multi-billion dollar firm, requested Theresa as their performance coach instead of one of our founders…and she knocked it out of the park! Truly Theresa has achieved mastery at the highest level as a presenter.
