Hi! I’m Josianne Robb
Change agent, disruptor, educator, coach, seasoned digital transformation leader, former executive, board member and founder of Adaptologie.
For the moment, I am the only human behind the brand.
I am no stranger to pivots, transitions and personal reinventions, as my Linkedin profile will attest to. My relationship to change started when I was 7 years old as I followed my parents from our native Belgium to Africa. Several decades, countries & professional pivots later, I am still a change enthusiast!
During the numerous COVID related lockdowns here in Hong Kong, I became progressively obsessed with a deceptively simple question: what could I do for the rest of my life, without any loss of enthusiasm?
My reflection consistently brought me back to 2 concepts:
follow my curiosity & love of experiential learning
help others become comfortable with change
The answer led to my boldest pivot to date - becoming an entrepreneur, intentionally crafting a portfolio career building on the skills I acquired over the last 3 decades in the corporate world.
I left my role as regional chief digital officer in financial services and retrained as a professional coach.
Retraining and starting up my first business during lockdown presented both challenges and opportunities. I experimented on ways to reach people who needed support and completed 500 hours of 1:1 coaching as well as over 125 hours of training in the space of a year. This led to my earning the International Coaching Federation’s Professional Certified Coach (ICF PCC) accreditation in 13 months (that’s very fast).
In parallel, I launched a new word and a new company, Adaptologie - the study of adaptability.
Different needs require a different solution, which is why Adaptologie currently offers 2 services: coaching and consulting.
Adaptability quotient (AQ) measures…
…“ the abilities, characteristics, and environmental factors which impact the successful behaviours and actions of people and organisations to effectively respond to uncertainty, new information, or changed circumstances.” - Ross Thornley, ‘Decoding AQ’, 2021 (get your copy here)
… “how well a person reacts to the inevitability of change, and lots of it.” - Natalie Fratto
