Professional Bio

Robin Shear is a TEDx and global joy speaker, author, and likely the only joy coach you'll ever meet. She helps burned-out professionals rediscover joy, resilience, and connection so they can lead, serve, and thrive again.

Featured by TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Psychology Today, Robin is known for bringing a party with a purpose. Her keynotes combine laughter, audience interaction, meaningful reflection, and practical takeaways audiences can use immediately. Attendees often say they've never laughed so much while learning so much.

Her clients include TEDxDetroit, MPI, PCMA, CEMA, Northstar Meetings Group, Northwestern Medicine, Aetna, National Head Start Association, National Organization of Human Services, Michigan Bankers Association, and Pure Michigan. She has also shared her message internationally, including from the stage in South Africa.

Robin's work is grounded in personal experience overcoming chronic pain, PTSD, relationship challenges, and a traumatic brain injury that took 21 times longer to heal than expected. Those experiences inspired her book, Messy Joy™: How Joy Can Begin Before Your Difficulties End, which became a #1 Amazon New Release shortly after publication.

President of NSA Michigan, Robin has been recognized as ITA Group's Trending Speaker, a PCMA Leading Class Speaker, pc/nametag's Top 5 Event Influencer, and NSA Michigan's Member of the Year.
