In this episode of The Survivor’s Chair Podcast, host Kim Russell welcomes her dear friend Rob Hinds, founder and CEO of Raise Your Lid Consulting.

Rob’s story is one of resilience, overcoming bullying, low self-worth, people-pleasing, and a traumatic brain injury.

With over 20 years of experience in leadership coaching and personal development, Rob shares his powerful journey of shifting from fear to courage, from passivity to assertiveness, and from surviving to truly leading.

Together, Kim and Rob dive into the power of mindset, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, conflict resolution and how these skills transform not only our careers but also our relationships and self-worth.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, silenced, or limited by your past, Rob’s story will remind you that the lid on your potential can always be lifted.
