About
Robyn Schopp
Owner and Chief Happiness Officer of Gordeaux Consulting
I’m Robyn Schopp, and I developed a career out of finding the fun in the business at hand. I founded Gordeaux Consulting to help employers foster workplaces where people find fun in whatever work they’re doing.
Fun is a proven method to build trust, make a positive impression, and motivate people around ideas and projects. Let’s leverage that power and rally your teams around your company’s goals through:
• Immersive and impactful training
• Strategic and memorable events and programs
What is "Gordeaux" and how do you say it?
Pronounced like “bordeaux,” as in the type of wine, Gordeaux is a playful homage to my nickname, which is “Gordo.” Gordo comes from my maiden name of Gordon, and the definition of “Gordo” is better for a food truck than what we’re doing at Gordeaux Consulting!

Testimonials
“Robyn’s training was nothing short of outstanding. Her explanations were clear and impactful, and she skillfully incorporated hands-on exercises that made the concepts tangible and relevant to our daily responsibilities.
Throughout the session, she fielded questions from staff thoughtfully and seamlessly, without losing the flow of her presentation. Her ability to maintain momentum while addressing individual concerns truly set her apart as an effective facilitator.
Robyn’s training was truly transformative, and we highly recommend her services to any organization seeking to build stronger, more cohesive teams.”
“Robyn is an exceptional trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable and motivating. Not only does she engage her learners, but she also teaches them to be engaging. Through laughter, candor, and vulnerability, she has a knack for pushing people out of their comfort zones where true growth happens."
I highly recommend Robyn to anyone looking to enhance their skills and grow both personally and professionally.”

“Robyn is a breath of fresh air! Her engaging personality, her authentic approach to communicating and interacting on a human level are so compelling. After having worked with her on her TED talk, I knew she would be a great candidate to MC the next year's TEDx event in Holland, MI.
She was a joy to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a joyful, upbeat and genuine connection to support their business.”
