150: Darren Robson: Memories in Conversation

In this Episode

Welcome to a special episode of the AC podcast where we pay tribute to our colleague, mentor and friend, Darren Robson, who passed away early 2023, aged 50. Darren was the Global Director of the Association for Coaching, founder of the MOE Foundation and a true visionary and leader. On a more personal level, to many individuals, he was an invisible hand supporting them to be the best version of themselves.

Darren was passionate about helping others find their voice and believed podcasts were a powerful medium for allowing this to happen – creating meaningful and thought-provoking content for the coaching community. He knew how to connect people and brought us together as a team, a place where we know we can be ourselves and carry forward his belief in us and what we create.

It was an honour to create an episode where we share clips of Darren speaking in previous podcast episodes interspersed with our reactions and experience of knowing this incredible man. Those who knew him will be touched to hear his voice again and reflect on the difference he made in your own life. We were lucky to know him, and the world was fortunate to have him. Enjoy your new adventures, Darren!
