A CATALYST COMMUNITY FOR WOMEN.
We’re here with you.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm AMY REEVES ROBINSON
Hello! Thank you for wanting to learn more about me and NEXXT. I’ve been working with and advocating for women for over 20 years. You may know me as the founder of Tribe of Women, a movement in women supporting women, that began with my TEDx Talk “I Believe in Tribes of Women”. The journey from there to here has been both challenging and rewarding, and the foundation for the question, “What’s next?”
I felt very supported by women in my early career. My first job as a paralegal was for two women attorneys. As a banker, my boss was a woman who believed in the “come with me” model of mentorship. Then, as an entrepreneur and consultant, I was thrust into a world where I saw women in companies, corporations, and start-ups struggling to be seen, heard, and understood. This was my world for 15 years, and I was struggling too.
In 2013, I travelled to Pakistan to support a national business plan competition. This experience solidified for me the truth that women, in communities of support for one another, were a force that could – literally – solve the problems of the world. Tribe of Women was an answer to that call to action.
For four years, Tribe of Women listened and learned. From community events and podcast interviews, to corporate deep dives with Fortune 500 companies, I quickly learned two defining truths: Our actions toward one another are a direct reflection of what we know and how we feel about ourselves, and we – more often than not – don’t know who we are. In combination with cultural influence, unconscious bias, and a pervasive misunderstanding of feminism, this foundation of the mean girl culture had manifested world-wide.
I took everything I learned from women around the world and built a program based on this gained wisdom to help women everywhere build tribes of women supporting women. In 2018, I joined a team to put all of that learning to the test in the form of a local clubhouse for the modern woman. There, we further proved that cultures of women in community is where women thrive.
Flash forward - pandemic, and the whole world was asking, "What's next?" My answer is NEXXT, this catalyst community for women where we have created a brave space for you to find the clarity, confidence, and community to stand firmly in WHO YOU ARE, no matter what the world throws at you.
We currently do this through our NEXXT Step Self-Guided and Group Coaching Programs and Up NEXXT events and video podcast. Our NEXXT Level peer-to-peer groups are coming soon!
My ambition is that – however you utilized this community – you will lean into your power while leaning on one another so we can all bring who we are fully to everything we do.
The world needs us, ladies. Let’s do this!
All my love,
Amy
