Meet the team!

With over 42 years' experience helping organisations get the best out of their people, Robin brings together a deep grounding in emotional intelligence — drawing on the trait-based model developed by K.V. Petrides — with practical, tested team-effectiveness frameworks, translating theory into training that people actually use and remember.

As Managing Director of Robin Lodge Associates, Robin has delivered leadership programmes including Accelerate – New Leaders Programme, Stepping Up and the Emerging Leaders Programme for organisations such as Elexon and USP College, combining rigour with a genuine warmth that puts people at ease rather than on the spot.

​​​​​​​Outside client work, golf is a constant — organising society events and captaining teams, bringing that same knack for getting people working well together onto the course.​​​​​​​

With over 20 years' experience designing and delivering training across Africa, the UK and the USA, Rory brings a distinctive style to his facilitation — a blend of fun and playfulness that never loses sight of impact and relevance for the audience in front of him.

His training grounding began with a Bachelor's degree in Management from Unisa, and was shaped further by ten years in the performing arts, where his background in improvisation taught him to read a room and elevate his delivery in the moment. More recently, he's brought Lego-based activities into his sessions, adding a hands-on dimension that deepens the learning experience for clients.

Rory  helps organisations build high-performing teams — without falling into the toxic cultures that high performance can sometimes bring.
