Pursuing Meaningful Work Episode 090 – Meaningful Work Interview: Ben Robinson
Ben Robinson is from Kyiv, Ukraine. He’s a friend from several years back, when I worked in Ukraine, teaching English for a Christian group. Ben is also a partner and will be working with us with some coaching clients as well.
Ben has lived in Ukraine for almost 15 years. He grew up in the United Kingdom. But he was born in Spain when his parents went on a holiday. He is now married to a Ukrainian, Tanya. They have 3 children, two with a UK passport, and one with a Ukraine passport.
He initially came to Ukraine as a volunteer staff to teach English. After 2 years, he joined an organization called the Center for Leadership Development. It was an organization that works with young university graduates.
Currently, he works as a co-pastor of a Church in Kyiv which works with a lot of graduates, from creative backgrounds. He also continues to teach as a freelance trainer and coach. Finally, he does a little bit of photography work.
He says, “Life, in its fullness and the dynamics of life, and the questions people face, are similar, wherever we are in the world, People want to have a way to make a difference. People need to know what their talents are, people need to find a place to use their talents.”
